Smart Editor widget to intersect with tolerance distances in Editor widget

AurélieFONTEYNE — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 13:23:36 GMT

Can we have a smart editor widget that is functionally identical?

How can we implement the function to intersect a layer?
How can we have a choice of tolerance distances and be able to select the values associated with this tolerance in a window?

@AurélieFONTEYNE There are no plans to implement the smart widget in the Web Editor.

Depending on what you were performing using the Smart Editor widget, the capabilities have been replaced by Forms and Arcade. These two blog articles provide some examples:

If you're trying to replace other workflows that are not covered in the blog articles, please let us know what they are. If they're not possible now, we can provide information on when or if they are planned.

Thanks @CraigGillgrass.

I had discovered the blog. The most interesting feature of the smart editor is missing.

It included the concept of tolerance on the intersected layer and the ability to enable the intersection value selector in the action settings.

(Action Settings > Enable Intersection Value Selector)

In the blog example: the user could choose the priority 1 or priority 2 polygon in the field.

Today, the user will have to type everything. There will be no more help.

Not everything depends on the nearest value or the strictest interest rate in the real world,
