Additional Information

This is a known limitation in ArcGIS Field Maps. Adding a layer with no editing enabled to a web map, saving the web map, and then enabling editing on the layer after the web map is saved does not update the web map automatically with the information needed for ArcGIS Field Maps to recognize the layer as editable. To resolve the issue, open the web map in Map Viewer and save the map again (no changes necessary), then reload the map in ArcGIS Field Maps to see the editing capabilities.

Workaround

  1. Publish the data directly into ArcGIS Online by adding a new item.
  2. Turn the editing on before adding the feature layer onto the web map.
