Per Esri case 03897472, it is not possible to edit attachment tables via branch versioning. I would like to be able to access the attachment tables in the branch versioned editing service so that I can download and delete attachments without having to unregister the data as versioned.

Confirmed with Esri Support that this workflow is not currently supported. Esri case 03897472. Case summary from the tech: "To summarize our discussion/workflow: We have a trace network in our Enterprise geodatabase, from which we are publishing a feature class along with its attachment table to ArcGIS Enterprise as a feature service On checking the feature service from Portal, the feature layer is present however, the attachment table is not visible The attachment table is visible on the map image layer Tried publishing from a new ArcGIS Pro project with a new database connection, however, got the same results Got the same results with different data Opened the feature layer in Portal map viewer > configured pop-ups > the attachments were visible > we could also edit the attachments Our main goal is to utilize the attachment table from the feature service in model builder in ArcGIS Pro I tested the workflow in-house and was able to reproduce the results. What we are encountering is expected and is a limitation. I also reached out to a colleague of mine regarding the model in ArcGIS Pro. Unfortunately, we currently do not have a workaround to this and agreed that the best way to move forward would be the one you mentioned over the call."

I'm setting up a process to download attachments from several feature classes before deleting them from the database. The feature class and the attachments table are branch versioned. As near as I can tell, there is no way for me to batch delete attachments, either with the Remove Attachments tool or the Delete Rows tool. Am I missing something? I tried publishing a service with the attachments table in it, but it doesn't appear in the service.

I ended up putting in a support ticket. This is what they said: "Adding a field will not require you to recreate the trace network or validate the topology. Since the new field has nothing to do with the shape or the connectivity of the features rebuilding the network will not be required. After making the required changes once you restart the service, the changes should be visible on the feature service."

I'm struggling to find detailed documentation or training on trace networks, so I hope someone here can provide guidance. I have two utility systems (stormwater and potable water) that both have their own trace networks. Let's just use stormwater as my example. In case it matters, we are using branch versioning. The stormwater trace network has 8 feature classes that participate: I need to add a field to ssManhole, ssValve, and ssFitting. If I add this field, what happens to the trace network? Do I need to rebuilt topology? Do I need to create a completely new trace network? Or will the trace network ignore the new field since it has nothing to do with flow or connectivity? (It's a text field that will hold a URL to a folder with photos.) Side note, if there are any classes on trace networks, I'd love a referral. I've search esri.com/training but haven't found anything. The online documentation makes it seem like trace networks are very simple and straightforward, but my experience with Esri behaviors in the past suggests otherwise!

I agree - having a way to set a different measurement default would be very helpful for us.

I just logged in to suggest this! Definitely need this option.

I think that's the correct answer, George! Thank you.

You found more than I was able to track down! Thank you.

That link is interesting - the list of what I would call "behaviors" on that page are described as "supported data types." That's a pretty generic term that could be used to describe feature classes and tables, I would think. Interesting, though, that there is no use of the word "behaviors" on that documentation. Perhaps it's not a ubiquitous term. Thank you for sharing that!

Many years ago, I took an Esri instructor-led class where I learned that things like geometric networks, trace networks, parcel fabrics, etc could be lumped together under an umbrella term called "behaviors". When I Google that term, however, I do not find it in any of the Esri documentation. Is there a collective noun that can be used for special functionality that requires the feature classes that participate in it to be in a feature dataset?

Same thing - no filtering occurs.

This is in ArcGIS Pro 3.3.0. When I am setting up a definition query in Pro on my address point layer, there doesn't appear to be a function that reduces the options in the pick list when you start to enter a value. For example, let's say I'm looking for 400 Main St. If I type in 400 and click the drop-down, shouldn't I see a filtered list of addresses that start with 400? I thought perhaps I needed to click the More button to load the full list of values, but even after doing that, my pick list gives me every possible option in the feature class. If that's not how the definition query menu is designed to work, I want to put in a suggestion on ArcGIS Ideas because this isn't user friendly.

After further testing, I found that the User role cannot edit Utility Networks, but the Publisher role can. However, there is something going on with browser caching that complicates the testing. Here's what I mean: 1. I set my test user as a Publisher. It can edit the UN data in a web map. 2. I change the test user to the User role. The edit button is removed from the web map. 3. I change the test user back to the Publisher role. The edit button does not reappear. Clearing the browser cache does not resolve this issue. 4. If I open an identical copy of the original web map, the editing button reappears. Side note: we use IWA to authenticate. I don't know how this would change with built-in accounts. In general, I think it's odd that the Publisher role is allowed to edit utility networks, given that the additional privileges that come with the Publisher role are all related to publishing items to Portal. Nonetheless, there is something about the Publisher role that allows the users to edit UN services. I should also note that a Data Editor role can edit user-managed services that are pulling data from enterprise geodatabases as long as the Advanced Editing extension is activated. You would think that the same settings would work with a user-managed service that uses the UN, but it does not. This strikes me as a possible bug in 11.3.

I'm struggling to find a straightforward answer to this question: what privileges are required to edit data in a Utility Network in a web map in Enterprise Portal 11.3? The normal Data Editor role does not allow it (even if the Advanced Editing extension is enabled), nor does User or Publisher. However, I have a custom role called Sub Administrator, and everything with that role and higher is able to edit. That leads me to believe there is one or more specific privileges that are required for editing UNs. Anyone have any insight?
