Edit Widget - Form integration

YS2388

Hello,

Would anyone know why (in my case at least) the edit widget does not respect my Map Viewer form configuration? Specifically the form title. Instead showing a proper, dynamic title when a selection is made, the widget displays the layer's "Display Field".

I don't understand why this is the case and have not found a fix.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Alix,

Thank you for the follow-up, I appreciate it. I've had to switch my project to WebApp Builder due to Experience Builder not having a batch-editing functionality. Hopefully this will be implemented in Experience Builder in the near future.

@YS2388 Just wanted to let you know that with the upcoming fix for this, the smart form title will be displayed at the top of the form (in the example below the smart form title is "Asset ID: 1674"), but the display field will still be shown in the header next to the back button. This is a known limitation for now.

No I am editing a map layer's table, but do not wish to display (or edit) geometry in the widget, hence the "Attribute only" configuration.

@YS2388 Thanks for clarifying! Yes, the "Attribute Only" case in the Experience Builder Edit widget may behave differently. In this case, are you editing a Table layer that has a smart form configured?

Hi Alix,

Thanks for the information and confirming the limitation. As an aside - this limitation is present only when the Edit widget is configured for "Attribute Only" editing. When it's configured for "Geometry and attribute" editing the web form's title (dynamic or not), group names are all respected.

Hi @MaryEllenPerko and @YS2388 ,

This is a known limitation right now. As @YS2388 described above: instead of showing the dynamic title when a selection is made, the widget displays the layer's "Display Field" that was defined when the service was published. Here's another similar post: Solved: Re: Edit widget - Untitled feature - Esri Community

Hi. Piggy-backing on this question as I think I have a similar issue. Specifically, I want to use an expression (concatenation of several fields) for the titles of the features listed in the edit widget from a map selection. I published (using Pro) the feature layer with an expression in the display field and it shows up in the map viewer layer properties in popup and fields. But, the edit widget only shows a single field value for each feature. It may be the first field in the expression, but I'm only guessing because I don't know where the title/description is coming from. Is this as designed/expected or am I missing something.

Thanks.
