Portal 10.6.1 Bug or Arcade Syntax Error?

AmyRoust

I'm running Portal for ArcGIS 10.6.1 and trying to use an Arcade Attribute Expression to populate a pop-up. Here is my syntax:

The syntax checks out when I test it:

Successful test of code

But I cannot get it to show up in the actual pop-up. I've tried using Display by "A description from one field" and selecting the expression from the drop-down list; I've also tried "A custom attribute display" with a reference to the expression. Either way, the sentence shown in the Value portion of the test above does not appear in the pop-up. When I go back into the pop-up settings, the options have reset to "A description from one field" and my expression is still saved in the Attribute Expressions section.

I thought this might be a 10.6.1 bug and I did find and install patch ArcGIS-1061-PFA-SEC2019U1-Patch, but that didn't fix the issue. I also tried to put the same expression into ArcGIS Online, but I got the same result.

Maybe Decode isn't supported for pop-ups in 10.6.1? I checked the version matrix, but I'm not certain that I'm reading the chart right.

Hi Amy Roust ,

The easiest way would be to leave the decode out and test with a dummy text to see if the Decode is the reason for the expression not to work. A way to leave out Decode is using dictionaries like this:

Hi aroust ,

Glad it is working now!

AmyRoust

Yes, it looks like the Decode function was tripping things up. I copy/pasted your code and it works great! I wasn't exactly using Decode in the spirit of how it was intended, so I'm not surprised that there was an issue.

Thanks!
