Arcade Expression in the new map viewer generate this error “ Execution Error:Cannot create Geometry in this SpatialReference. Engine is using a diffe

Question

Hi,

I have an Arcade expression to pass Lat & Long into my survey 123 fields and it’s working fine when I setup this in the classic map viewer.

However, when I tried to do the same thing in the new map viewer I got the following error “Execution Error:Cannot create Geometry in this SpatialReference. Engine is using a different spatial reference.”

Does anyone know what is the problem here?

Thanks,

Rawan

Hi @XanderBakker  - yes thank you that was it.  Sorry to have hi-jacked your post @Anonymous User.  The only behavior that was similar - maybe - to what you are experiencing was this:

At the last beta release in Online of the MapViewer, I noticed that my custom Image basemap was behaving oddly.  The basemap included the world image service, a tile cache, local image service in wkid 3857, and a vector tile cache (streets and labels) in the same web mercator spatial reference.

For whatever reason, my local tile cache image service was 'shifted' - as if the final Map Viewer beta was not picking up a transformation.  I should tell you that the local tile cache service is created from a mosiac dataset in Pro that contains a re-project function (so I would not have to re-project all of the source tiffs).  However, this seems to have been resolved as I am not seeing the same behavior in the New Map Viewer . . .

Hi @DavidColey ,

The error "Warning, return type must be a number" occurs when you already have a category field selected and you are defining an expression. This expression will be used as the second field and must be numeric. I have had the same error and when I removed the field of the symbology with the cross "x" just above the "+ expression" it worked as expected.

Sorry for the screenshot in Spanish...
