Problem:

When a Survey123 is published in AGOL, the field which links the main feature class to child tables/layers is name parentglobalid. In contrast, publishing a survey in Enterprise names the equivalent field parentrowid. As a result, all tools within the Observations Toolbox which refer to parentglobalid fail. 


Solution:

This will be fixed in a future release, however, in the meantime if you run into the problem (example error highlighted below), you can resolve it by editing the affected scripts and replacing parentglobalid with parentrowid. If you need assistance doing so, please submit a ticket to the Biotics Help Desk by emailing [email protected].
