Sharing some functions that could be added for further arcade enhancements

The functions below work for ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8 and later. I have used these two functions quite often since these automatically account for matching field names but don't account for field types.

// Get matching field names found in both lists function GetMatchingFields( FieldListA, FieldListB ){ var MatchingFields = Null var separator = ',' // Loop through the list of field names in list A for ( var a in FieldListA ){ for ( var b in FieldListB ){ if ( FieldListA[ a ] == FieldListB[ b ] ){ MatchingFields += FieldListA[ a ] + separator } } } if ( IsEmpty( MatchingFields ) == False ){ MatchingFields = split( MatchingFields , separator ) } return MatchingFields } // Get field names from input features function GetFieldNames( InputDictionary , OmitFields ){ var FieldNames = Null var separator = ',' for ( var field in InputDictionary ){ // Populate the specified list with the field name var keep = True for ( var i in OmitFields ){ if ( field == OmitFields[ i ] ){ keep = False ; Break } } if ( keep == True ){ FieldNames += field + ',' } } if ( IsEmpty( FieldNames ) == False ){ FieldNames = split( FieldNames , separator ) } return FieldNames }

The functions below were updated to use on Enterprise 10.9 and later.

// Get matching field names found in both lists function GetMatchingFields( FieldListA, FieldListB ){ var MatchingFields = [] // Loop through the list of field names in list A for ( var a in FieldListA ){ if ( Includes( FieldListB , a ) ){ Push( MatchingFields , a ) } } if ( Count( MatchingFields ) == 0 ){ MatchingFields = Null } return MatchingFields } // Get field names from input features function GetFieldNames( InputFeature , OmitFields ){ if( TypeOf( InputFeature ) == 'Feature' ){ InputFeature = First( InputFeature ) } var FieldNames = [] for ( var field in InputFeature ){ // Populate the specified list with the field name if ( !Includes( OmitFields , field ) ){ Push( FieldNames , field ) } } if ( Count( FieldNames ) == 0 ){ FieldNames = Null } return FieldNames }

It would be nice if functions like these were added to the library of functions in arcade since it is fairly standard and would be easier to use.

Hi @RPGIS - I'm assuming these work with the datastore profile, but otherwise where are you using this? As an attribute rule? Does this set up a field map for an append or data load op?

I use this as part of an attribute rule for the most part but it I have yet to test it in other places such as dashboards. It's mostly a data load operation, similar to using append with field map.
