Will MapImageLayer ever support Arcade label expressions?

Andy_Morgan

Would someone from ESRI please tell us if MapImageLayer will eventually support Arcade expressions (and therefore TextFormatting.NewLine) via LabelClass?

Currently LabelClass labelExpressionInfo : { expression: .... } is only an option for FeatureLayer, but I really need it to be available through MapImageLayer in order to have multiple field and multiple line labeling. Otherwise, the only workaround to my knowledge is to create a duplicate FeatureLayer from a MapImageLayer's sublayer, add it to the map, hide feature graphics, and then apply labeling. This is not a viable solution.

Hi Andy, it's a great question. We will investigate and consider. In the meantime, you can do some fancy things with SQL (e.g. multiple fields and multiple lines) like this:

labelExpression: '[STATE_ABBR] CONCAT " State, \\n" CONCAT [STATE_NAME]'
