I need to update an ArcGIS Online feature service using something other than 'OBJECTID' field. In previous versions, I was able to set the "Update Key Field" in the 'Properties' dialog box of the AGOL Writer. In 2017.1 that option is gone. I can't find any documentation or examples on how to set the Update Key Field to something else.
Any suggestions?
If you create an attribute called fme_where, and set it to <update field name> = <update field value>, it is the same as setting the "Update Key Field"
For example, if my Update Key Field is called ASSET_ID, I want the following in an AttributeCreator (or AttributeManager):

ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer: Encountered a feature for feature type 'AWOS Data' that is missing the ID attribute 'OBJECTID'. This attribute is required when in UPDATE or DELETE mode
Per the documentation, it appears 'OBJECTID' field the "Key Update Field". I don't want to use that. Any other suggestions?

arcgisonline_objectid
arcgisonline_globalid
I do not have a way to test this, but you might be able to set arcgisonline_objectid to the name of the new update key field.

Hi @mmccart, according to relevant documentations, it seems that the ArcGIS Online Feature Service writer always requires that the Object ID will be used as primary key when you update or delete existing features. If you need to update features that match some conditions other than Object ID, you can once read the features that match the conditions and then update them using their Object ID.
