Arcade expression to control text color

JohnMedema

Hi,

I am trying to control the background color of a list element using an arcade expression.  The $datapoint.division contains several string values e.g. Central Arizona.  Ideally I would like this expression to execute based on the various division values and color code the background of each list element based on the string value of $datapoint.division.

Here is my expression.  @DougBrowning , figured you can solve this in the blink of an eye.

var color = IIF($datapoint.division == "Central Arizona", '#F3DED7', '')
return {
textColor: '',
backgroundColor: color,
separatorColor:'',
selectionColor: '',
selectionTextColor: '',
// attributes: {
// attribute1: '',
// attribute2: ''
// }
}

Have you double checked your Division values? You want to use the name value and not the label. Are you using the Globals tab to add your field to your expression? If not, do that so that you know the syntax is correct. Also, try returning it as an attribute and then simply calling that in your list. That way you can see what, if anything your statement is returning.
