I just created this idea over in the Pro section if folks want to upvote it over there. A "newer" idea might get some traction...who knows? ... View more

Agreed. It seems things are improving - you can now use the native PostGIS geometry. But if you want to both read AND edit in Esri tools (like Pro), you need to do the "Create Enterprise Geodoatabase" routine, which requires an enterprise/server license. Anything less than that, and you can *read* from Pro (via query layer) - but you can't edit. I've found that you can use pro (or ArcPy) to *load* data in, table-by-table, which in some cases is useful. But obviously once you've got your main data loaded in, you just want to edit it there. And the current capabilities prohibit that. ... View more

Agreed. Time to give it some social media love! ... View more

Thanks Rene! I thought of that on my run yesterday, forehead slap. Another way of saying this: my code is just creating a plain old object that happens to have a type of "point" and lat/long values, not an actual full-blown point geometry object that the geodesic buffer requires. I'll update the code pen to demonstrate this. ... View more

Just tested on a Windows 10 laptop with a touch screen, using Firefox, and can't reproduce the behavior. Touches on the graphics reveal a popup and can pan as normal. Thanks for the idea to test on an actual device, I'm a lot less worried about this now! ... View more

I agree it's very strange! I've only tested it with the Firefox emulator. I just realized I have ONE physical device with a touch screen and a Firefox install, so I'm going to test it there. I'm glad to hear you couldn't reproduce, though! I'm thinking this is more a problem with the emulator than with the code. ... View more

Just curious if this is in 4.x now, or if I'm missing something. I do see several samples tagged with "TOC", including this one, but none that have the opacity slider. But I don't see anything about the legend in the layerlist properties or anything like that. Maybe I'm just not finding what I'm looking for? ... View more

Update for anyone struggling similarly to me, I got that method working: watchUtils.on(graphicsLayer, "graphics", "change", function (evt) { The reason it wasn't working was that I had graphics being added/created via app.MapView.graphics instead of the graphicsLayer. They are two separate containers! So the watch was working, but not detecting anything because I was adding graphics to the "wrong" place. Making sure each graphic creation took place within graphicsLayer did the trick. Of course, now I'm struggling to make sure I can detect creation of graphics from several methods. Search result graphics appear to be created in the app.MapView by default...I can override that, but then I need to customize each type. And it appears that featureLayer sources create additional graphics (probably in the app.MapView!) that I can't detect/clear!   ... View more

Dang. I don't remember what happened when I tried it in my code, which is a spaghetti mess of course. But I just tried it in the SketchWidget sample (clicking to create graphics is more like my use case) and it worked fine. watchUtils.on(graphicsLayer,"graphics","change",function(){ console.log("Graphics Changed!"); }); At least this confirms for me that I was on the right track with that methodology...now I just have to debug why it failed with my code at the time. Thanks! ... View more

I'm researching the same thing today. Haven't figured it out yet but hopefully will post here if I do. Trying to work off: JSAPI sample (more complicated than I need): Reference Arcade expressions in PopupTemplate | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.16  AGOL blog: https://community.esri.com/community/gis/web-gis/arcgisonline/blog/2017/07/18/conditional-field-display-with-arcade-in-pop-ups  GeoNet question: https://community.esri.com/thread/233503-can-i-eliminate-empty-values-using-arcade-in-my-pop-up  Some of the comments after the AGOL blog are leading in me in good directions but not quite there. Have you figured it out yet? ... View more

Here's the entire script for anyone interested - obviously it's called by another script so a bunch of the specifics are refactored out.
