Does Multi Point geometry still work in 'Display Capture Geometry'?

I have a couple workflows that use the multi point geometry option in the 'Display Capture Geometry' activity.  However since 4.2 that geometry is no longer recognized.  I have been trying to search the forum for anything, and could only find a couple posts from 2013.  Does anyone else use this geometry and if so, does anyon else notice this issue?

 

Basically, it places points on the map showing where I am selecting, but when I hit ok and display an alert to show what geometry has been captured, nothing appears.  In 4.4, I actually can't proceed if I choose 'geometry required' but in 4.2 I can.

  I have the exact same issue. We are using 4.4.2.

  Hi Marshall-

   

  I filed a support ticket for this. I'll let you know what comes of it.

  Excellent, 

   

  Thanks Ryan, that was on my list of things to do this week.

  Here's what Latitude came back with. "I have tested out the multi-point tool from the "Display Capture Geometry" activity and it does work. When using the tool, you click as many points as you like on the map and during the last point, it must be a double click to let the viewer know you are finished with the selection. There is a map tip at the bottom of the viewer that provides some instructions as well." 

   

  She is correct. I just need to make it more obviosu in my workflow container that this is the current method to use.

  The Multi-Point tool still doesn't seem to select the features like the other geometries.  I double-click the last selection and get a Geometry Captured confirmation, but the next steps in my workflow that are supposed to used the capture geometry in a Query task don't seem to do anything. The workflow just flickers the map and goes to the next DisplayForm without selecting any features.  Is there something else I need to do to use the Capture geometry when it is Multi-Point instead of Rectangle or Polygon?

  Actually, neither the Single Point or Mutli-Point Capture Geometries have a geometry that works in a Query Task.  Polyline, Freehand Line, Rectangle and Polygon all work.  But not point or multi-point.

  Hi Sean, I am experience a similar issue...I want to capture a point click and input that geometry into a Query task, then have a user enter some info into a display form, which will be inputted into a sql non query activity...but nothing seems to be happening...did you every figure this out?

  Are you querying the geometry you capture or another feature service? I have a workflow that creates multipoint, uses display form for user input, then a query task to check for duplicates within the form. 

   

  I would assume you would need to add features to a service before using query task if you wanted to query that geometry

  This still isn't working.  Did anyone ever get a true solution?  Latitude?

  Finally figured out that you have to buffer the captured geometry from the Multi-Point and Point selector tools.  Even though the form draws a lovely circle on the map, you are really capturing points.  So if you are trying to select line features like I was, you need to buffer the captured geometry and then use the new geometry from the buffer in subsequent activities like Query Tasks, etc.

   

  Hope this still matters to someone.  Anyway.  It works.  Once you know that you really aren't getting those big circles on the screen . . .
