ArcGIS OnlineL Change selection color for map embedded in Dashboard

Question

I have a dashboard with a map that has two layers, let's say Layer A and Layer B. Layer A has no actions associated with it and no popup. Layer B has no actions but does have a popup. I also have a dropdown selector widget of Layer A data that zooms and flashes the selected item on the map upon selection.

My issues is how to set colors. There are three scenarios:

1. Clicking on Layer B in the map fills the polygon with a semi-transparent teal. I like to change this color and the color of any text in this selected layer -- for example, fill the polygon dark blue with white text.

2. Using the dropdown selector flashes the selected Layer A polygon with a brownish border which lasts a few seconds then disappears. I'd like to change this to a fill that persists -- for example, fill the polygon dark blue with white text. Or at least have the border persists when it's done flashing.

Thoughts?

thanks!

Agreed, there is still work to be done there. The best we've found is to disable popups in the map itself and use a Feature Info widget in a slideout panel to show the popup info.

@jcarlson Thanks for your response. Yeah, unfortunately, Experience Builder has some serious flaws in how it displays maps (ie pop-ups get positioned with the top and bottom cut off if the map pane isn't tall enough to hold it) that are dealbreakers. Unless you know how to fix that 😉

I don't know that you can do that in a dashboard, but  Experience Builder does give you the option of changing the selection color, and selected feature in a list can have a persistent highlight on an associated map.

Certain dashboard features can be replicated over there, too, though it's not 1:1. Might be worth taking a look at, at least.
