Additional Information

This is as expected when using 'OBJECTID' as a connected field in the Chart message action. Because the output of the chart is different from the original input, the 'OBJECTID' in the chart output is not the same 'OBJECTID' as the original input. It is just the default ID field, although with the same name. So they cannot match exactly to filter the expected data. It is recommended to use another field for connection, such as the category field.  There is a plan to improve the naming of the ID field of the output dataset to avoid confusion.

Workaround

  • Use a different field for the trigger and action connection. However, this also does not work depending on how many features are present in the feature layer.
  • On a test with more than 20,000 features, using a different field for trigger and action connection causes charts such as the scatter plot to crash all other charts.
