What's New in ArcGIS Field Maps (February 2023)

We've just released our first major update to ArcGIS Field Maps for the year. This update includes a number of exciting new capabilities including:

• Improving existing offline workflows
• Enhancing the form authoring and editing experience
• Introducing new settings for location sharing
• New support for iOS smart card authentication

Please read our release blog article on the ArcGIS Blog site for details.

Is there a plan to enforce form settings when editing multiple records? My form is set up to allow the user to edit 8 fields. When they use the Edit Multiple option they are able to edit all fields, required fields are not enforce and neither are my arcade expressions (completed on date) which leaves some fields blank on submission if the user doesn't populate them manually.

Thank you for all your work on Field Maps!

Amongst the changes to the form authoring and editing experience I noticed the ability has been added to mark a field as editable when a calculated expression is also applied to that field. This is a super hopeful step since this functionality has been missing since calculated expressions were added. 

That being said I notice that although now these fields can be marked as editable (that wasn't even an option before) there are still warnings/errors and ultimately the fields can either be edited or calculated but not both. (In my testing a field can have a calculated expression applied and be marked as editable, and those changes can be saved despite the warnings. However functionally the field is editable but the calculated expression is not applied.)

Are there any plans to enable this functionality? It seems like we are just a step away now. It's so frustrating coming from Survey123 where this exact functionality is available to Field Maps, where despite all the improvements this feature is not quite available. 

I know for my own projects and for others I have seen in this community adding this option would really unlock an enormous amount of viability for Field Maps. As it stands without it using calculated expressions are enormously beneficial, but just a really hard sell to users without editing functionality.

Thank you!
