Dynamic text box for selected features

DannySmith12

Hi all,

Using ArcGIS Pro 2.9.5, I'm trying to create a dynamic text box that displays an attribute from a selected feature. For instance, in a feature layer called "parcels", I would like for the text box to display a parcel ID number for that single selected feature. If I make a new selection, that text box would update to the newly selected feature. So far, I can only arrange the dynamic text by visible records, which returns the selected one as well as surrounding parcel ID numbers, which is not ideal for my goal. I've tried different SQL queries to no avail. Any insight will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Dan,

I revisited this issue and have not been able to resolve. The answer lies I believe in the SQL query field, but I cannot get any expressions to work. Hopefully some day ESRI provides a Use Selected Features option, or something of that nature to allow this capability. If I find anything in the future or resolve, I'll definitely provide that feedback here. Thanks and good luck!

Good afternoon all,

Has there been any success in solving this mystery? I have created a layout for my analysts to use to print before and after maps of parcel adjustments and I was trying to find a way to display the Parcel ID or a portion of on the layout based on selecting the parcel be mapped (sometimes there are multiple parcels). I am running on ArcGIS Pro 3.3.2 and I have not had any success in making this happen. I have thought about a map series but with over 300K parcels, a map series does not seem very efficient. I have try to make adjustments to the dynamic text/table, but no luck. Like @Ferreira Python is not my strong suit.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions anyone has to offer.

@Ferreira Interesting approach. One downfall is selecting multiple parcels...but there could be a way around this. I'll take a look and be sure to respond with any success. Thanks again.

Hi @Ferreira , I did not resolve this. I attempted dynamic expressions, attribute rules, and even Definition queries from the Map Properties. Outside of a Map Series, I cannot think of a solution. If you are able to resolve, please let me know.

Thanks, Danny

Hi Danny,

Did you ever find a solution to this? I've been wanting to set up something similar in a Web App as well, but have had no luck so far.

Thank you!

Thank you for the response. I'm trying to create a custom print template to use in a Portal Web App. The print template will ideally use the parcel ID or IDs that are selected in an attribute table as the map Title. This title would change dynamically as search results or users click on a new parcel. Being we have thousands of parcels, a map series would not be efficient unless there is a workaround.

Would a custom pop-up achieve what you're looking for? I'm wondering why the value needs to be displayed in a dynamic text box. If you are exporting a set of maps and want to show the attribute for a specific parcel in each map I would suggest looking into map series and using dynamic text in that context.
