Convert a time field to UTC inside of a pop-up

RyanBohan — Thu, 17 Feb 2022 21:19:06 GMT

Working on an issue with an incorrectly displayed time field. I need to a field from a rest service to UTC to get the correct date/time (below should be 7/10/2020 12:00am). I don't own the rest service or I would just change it there.

I have tried to use arcade, but because of the way I am building the pop-up, I am getting issues with the calculation.

Any help would be great, thank you!

Can you describe which issues you're seeing with the UTC calculation in Arcade? Was this the expression you used?

ToUTC($feature.data_project_create)

Hi @KristianEkenes

It's very possible I am applying the arcade in the wrong way. I am getting this in the pop-up

Thank you for your help

Ok. I see the issue, you'll need to reference the expression in an expressionInfos object, which will assign it a name. Then you need to refer to that name within the popup content in the following format: {expression/expression-name}. It's the same syntax as referring to field names except you need to prefix the expression name with "expression/".

This is the live sample: https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/sample-code/popuptemplate-arcade/

Hopefully that helps.
