I'm transferring data from an ESRI Geodatabase to ERSI AGOL cloud. One of the attributes in my feature is a string field that contains html text. When I run the workbench I get the following error message:

ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer: Encountered an unexpected error. The error code from the server was '400' and the message was: ''. Details: 'Field DESC4 has invalid html content.'

An exampe of the string that is being transferred is

Here is a video with more information on this project: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kkce_ySK5Cs#t=17" target="_blank">Ripple.</a>

Anyone have ideas as to how get this data into AGOL?

Hi @tgroeneveld,

 

I was able to successfully update a hosted table with the URL specified, if I removed the space between 17" and target :

Does this work for you?

What we are attempting to do is actually have html text in the attribute. I see above when I pasted the string I'm transferring in my original question, the browser of course is interpreting the html. The data I'm attempting to transfer is:

What we might have to do instead is just have the url in the attribute and the AGOL popup will need to create the readable link.

Hi @tgroeneveld,

 

 

Ah, I see what you mean. In that case, I believe you are correct in that the URL may need to be in the attribute, with AGOL populating the correct link in a pop-up (perhaps something similar to this : https://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2016/08/24/url-parameters-in-pop-ups/)
