Copy and Paste features from added data

Question

Hi! I am new to using ArcGIS Web Editor. With the Copy and paste editing feature, can this be done with newly added data (not from an existing layer in my web map). Ideally I'd like to be able to add a shapefile and copy those feature to an existing layer.

Thanks!

@CraigGillgrass Thank you.

I hope that functionality will be available before JS 3.X and web App Builder will not be available.

Best regards

@OfraAi I don't believe what you're trying to do is possible right now, I'm sorry, I don't have a workaround in Experience Builder or Web Editor - if you need this workflow, Web App Builder would be your best option for now.

We're working on bringing Copy/Paste into Experience Builder over the next few releases of ArcGIS Online - I expect the functionality to be in an Enterprise release in 2026 but I can't comment on which one at this time.

Thank you @CraigGillgrass ,

Do you know when it will be ready? in ArcGIS Online and more important for me, in ArcGIS Enterprise?

Do you have a workaround for the meanwhile?
