Migrating from Workforce to Field Maps: Auto-Populate Address Field?

Pili

I have a client who is migrating from Workforce to Field Maps. They noticed that when creating a new point, there’s no way to automatically populate the Address field, although it is displayed correctly in the Field Maps app. This functionality used to exist in Workforce.

I would personally recommend using Arcade to handle this, but I wanted to ask: for those more familiar with Workforce, do you know a way to achieve this during the migration?

Thanks so much for your help!

Field Maps doesn’t auto-fill the address like Workforce did. The value you see is display-only. To store it, use an Arcade expression or attribute rule that runs a reverse geocode on the point:

var p = Geometry($feature);
var a = ReverseGeocode(p);
return a.Address;

 

That will automatically populate your Address field on save. If Arcade isn’t available, use a Python script or post-process workflow to fill addresses later.
