Count choice list generated by the search Appearance.

Question

Hi,

I would like to have a note field that counts all the available choices from a search appearance layer based on a geoshape drawing.

What I need is essentially the opposite of the count-selected() function. I could use it if all options were selected by default, but the list I'm working with contains at least 100 choices, so selecting them all isn't practical with what I found.

Any advice on how to achieve this?

Thanks!

Thank you very much for the prompt reply. I'll try to check the JavaScript.

This came up on a recent post and I believe the count of available choices is not possible at this time.

You can run a separate query using pulldata against the layer, in addition to the search for the choice list.

However I'm not sure if it supports polygon queries and might not process the results the way you want, so I think you'll need to resort to JavaScript where this is more than likely to be possible.

Just note the limitations of using JavaScript.
