Ability to store data into existing polygons based on drop-down selection #527

I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place to be posting this, this is my first time using GitHub, and first time making a GeoForm.

I am including this here because after sharing the hosted feature layer with everyone and following the tutorial online, I still get the error:

" Unable to create map: A valid layer to create the GeoForm was not found. If the GeoForm has been configured with a layer, the layer may no longer be available, or authorization failed."

I have a hosted feature layer that has polygon for each of our building letters (we are a K-12 School) I want to make a GeoForm that provides users with a drop-down menu for "Building_Name" each letter corresponding to a polygon that is already defined in the feature layer. After selecting the building name from the drop-down, I want the field "Tech_Support_Problem" To associate the rich txt string with the Building_Name. After the user describes their tech support problem they can set a priority "Urgency_Rating" (drop-down menu 1-5) that gets added to the Urgency_Tracker (symbology shows darker buildings as more problematic)

In the end, a publishing app will allow our tech students to look at the map and look for a dark red buildings, visually showing where people are having problems, and when clicked on, the trouble ticket shows on the pop-up, along with a totaled Urgency tracker.

I may be misreading the notes but it looks like my goal may not even be possible with existing GeoApp functionality ? http://arcg.is/1zLvS4

Hi @reddogzz

That's correct. The GeoForm doesn't support Polygon or Polyline editing at this time. It will only work for point layers.
