using shape_length for the indicator widget

Question

I am trying to display the total length of utility pipes by using the indicator widget and using the sum statistic of the shape_length field, I am given an error with the data by trying this, and I am wondering if it is even possible to use this field for statistics, and if not, what my other options are.

Currently at 11.2 and it doesn't seem to be fixed for Feature Layer or Map Image Layer ">😵

I've tried using SHAPE.LEN from both a feature layer and a map image layer and both give the same "Cannot Access Data" error.  We had to create a spatial view of our SDE data and add a length column using ST_Length().  This is in Enterprise 10.6.1.  Hopefully ESRI figures out this bug in 10.7 or 10.7.1.

I believe that in order to see the Shape.STLength() field, it needs to be a map service.

This is because if you inspect the fields that display at the rest end point of a map service vs feature service, you will notice that the feature service does not list Shape.STLength() as part of its' available fields.

If it is a map service, then you will be able to do what Alexander Baker mentioned above.

Here are some other threads talking about this:

AGO Operations Dashboard - Chrome vs IE, SHAPE.STLength() field, multi-condition variables   (This one says that the error is no longer an issue.)

Operations Dashboard - use shape_length field?
