Hi Richard, thanks for the solution 🙂 This is what I was looking for, it would indeed be good to have this property on the Print widget itself.

Have a good Christmas!

Hi Vincent,

I came across this issue as well. I wish the ESRI Dev team will add this as a property to the widget: "scaleBarOptions". My work around was to use interceptors in esriConfig and add the print service URL you are using for printing. here is the code snippet

const addInterceptor = () => { // call this function before initializing the Print widget
        esriConfig.request.interceptors.push({
          urls: printServiceUrl, // the URL of the print service and make sure it is the same url as the one used in the Print widget
          before: (params: any) => {
            if (params.requestOptions.query.Web_Map_as_JSON) {
              const jsonRequest = JSON.parse(params.requestOptions.query.Web_Map_as_JSON);
              jsonRequest.layoutOptions.scaleBarOptions = {
                metricLabel: 'm',
                metricUnit: 'esriMeters',
                nonMetricLabel: 'ft',
                nonMetricUnit: 'esriFeet',
              };

params.requestOptions.query.Web_Map_as_JSON = JSON.stringify(jsonRequest);
            }
          },
        });
      };
