So I've been running bird surveys using FieldMaps, and the maps I created have multiple-ring buffers around the survey points so that we can approximate the distance that we place bird observations on the map. However, for some reason these buffers keep disappearing on me. The data still exists for them in the attribute table, but the buffers no longer show up on the FieldMaps map, the online map, or the .pitemx file when I open it in ArcPro. Any idea what may be causing this issue? It's incredibly frustrating when we get out to a site and discover that these features have once again disappeared from the map for no apparent reason.

I'm not sure if this is the right term for what I am trying to do, but I am attempting to create a survey in FieldMaps that I can use for some bird nest data collection this summer. I want to set it up so that when we find a nest, I can assign an ID and collect general information about the nest. Afterwards, we need to revisit the nests and collect information about number of eggs, if they've hatched, etc. Short of just placing a new point down every time we revisit a nest, is there an easy way to set this up so that each revisit will always be tied back to the original point? Thanks in advance!
