All,
I'm looking for a way to populate a field in smart editor (edit attribute field of existing feature) with a string (which will come from the URL parameter). I'm not familiar with customizing widget but this is something I have to make it happen to keep my job so any help and guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hi @helenchu ,
Use the Preset Attribute Actions to populate a field using a value from a URL parameter.
An example is provided in this video:
Thank you so much @AlixVezina . I'm still having trouble getting my field configured to take the variable from the url. I'll watch the video again and keep trying. I'll keep you posted of how it's going.
@helenchu perhaps this tip from the documentation can help? Smart Editor widget—ArcGIS Web AppBuilder | Documentation
I tried but still failed to get it work in my case. My url is below. (I use Near Me widget to get to the subject polygon) ....../webappbuilder/?id=12&find=123456789 .
Then I use Smart Widget to modify the attribute values of another polygon closed by. I need this (non-subject) polygon popup with pre-defined value of (the subjectID in url 123456789) in one of the field. Image is attached.
In Smart Edit configuration, I created group and select the field that I want the the SubjectID value in url to go to. Must be something I missed or did wrong ? Thank you so much for your help. The video you sent me is super helpful but unfortunately I was unable to pull it through.

In SmartEdit widget, I created groupName "find" to match with the word "find" in url. I must be doing something wrong ? Thank you very much Alix for all your help.
Preset attribute actions only work when creating new features, not when updating a feature's attributes.Please see for more details:https://doc.arcgis.com/en/web-appbuilder/create-apps/widget-smart-editor.htm#:~:text=populate%20with%20attribute%20values%20when%20creating%20new%20features
Also, for presets in general, the word "find" may be be part of the core web appbuilder URL parameters so it may be worth trying with a different group name.Depending on your complete workflow and what you are trying to do, there may be other ways to do this. If you are able to provide step by step details on what you need to achieve, we can look for a workaround.
This is something that's handled a bit in FieldMaps, too, but unfortunately FieldMaps doesn't have a desktop/browser editing equivalent that I can find.
