Why does the Show Related Records button in ArcGIS Online display incorrect records when a filter is applied?

Last Published: July 21, 2025

When a related table is filtered in ArcGIS Online and Collector for ArcGIS, the operation is not honored by the Show Related Records button on a pop-up. While the table honors the attribute filter, upon clicking 'Show Related Records' from a pop-up, all records show regardless of the set filter.

The pop-up window of ArcGIS Online displays pop-ups based on the relationship cardinality established in ArcGIS for Desktop. This functionality is designed to pass a related records query based upon the Feature or Object ID number, and are not configured to read from any filters set on a table. This is to ensure the desired records are not neglected on the feature specific level, which causes obscurity. The filter configuration is only designed to be applied to a single table when opened in a viewer or individually.

Note:
The functionalities of ArcGIS Collector, ArcGIS Explorer, and ArcGIS Tracker are now available in ArcGIS Field Maps. There are no new capabilities planned for these apps—all future updates will be focused on Field Maps. Migration is recommended. See ArcGIS Blog: Migrate to Field Maps for more information.
