I ran into a bug when trying to use Collector for field data collection, and it seems the bug has carried over into Field Maps. I would appreciate if anyone has found a workaround for this issue. (Link to bug synopsis https://support.esri.com/en/bugs/nimbus/QlVHLTAwMDEwNzQ0NA==)
We have a hosted feature layer that has 4 related tables. When this layer and all related tables are added to a map with all the editing controls enabled, I can edit existing features and add new entries to at least one table using Field Maps; however, I cannot add new features to the feature layer - which we need to be able to do. Only one of the related tables is absolutely necessary for field work, the others are mostly useful to reference.
When I publish the feature layer from ArcGIS Pro with just the one essential table and leave out the other 3, I can add this layer and table to a map and have all the editing capabilities, including add new features. But then I have two hosted layers in AGOL published from the same data. I don't want folks adding features in the field to the one layer but then the other layer (the robust version with all of the related tables) not getting those updates.
I tried making a View layer from the feature layer, but I couldn't find a way to exclude related tables when creating the view, so I end up back at the beginning of my problem and unable to add new features. I found an old thread form 2018 where someone was trying to make a view and exclude related tables and there was no solution. Is there an obvious way to get around this that I am just not seeing? Thanks in advance for any guidance.
