Additional Information

This is by design, as Workforce has moved to use GlobalIDs to manage Assignment Types for offline use. This blog, while for ArcGIS Collector, also applies to ArcGIS Field Maps and can be used to achieve the same result. https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/workforce/field-mobility/create-assignments-in-the-field-with-collector/

Workaround

  • Add assignments directly in the Workforce project interface in ArcGIS Online.
  • Manage the design templates instead of adding a point based on assignment status to add a point based on assignment type. For users that have 50+ assignment types, having the assignment types in the drop-down menu is a better user experience. Refer to the link: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/workforce/field-mobility/create-assignments-in-the-field-with-collector/
  • Use ArcGIS Survey123 to create assignments and add a list of assignment types as the choice list. Refer to the link: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/workforce/field-mobility/create-assignments-in-the-field-with-survey123/
