Additional Information

This is a known limitation when working with Arcade and global IDs within pop-ups in ArcGIS Field Maps. The StandardizeGuid Arcade function is introduced to provide more options when working with global IDs in this manner, and can be used to return the GlobalID field in different formats, including with or without the brackets. The StandardizeGuid function is supported in ArcGIS Online Map Viewer and is to be supported in a future ArcGIS Field Maps release. As there is a workaround and the upcoming support of the StandardizeGuid function in ArcGIS Field Maps, this issue is not to be addressed further.

Workaround

Use Replace() to remove the brackets, and the URL launches to add a new related record from within ArcGIS Field Maps.

Refer to the following example: var gid = Replace(Replace($feature.GlobalID, '{', '', True), '}', '', True);
