Indicator Text Size

SnappedToGrid — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 21:10:58 GMT

The June update has removed the ability to set a consistent text size for indicators. This was a simple but important feature that allowed text formatting to remain consistent across all indicators.

As a result, multiple dashboards have been affected and are no longer presented in an accessible, consistent format.

Is there a fix for this issue other than manually editing 50+ indicators across multiple dashboards using Arcade expressions?

This new ENH may be relevant for this issue:

ENH-000185944: Restore Rich Text formatting support for the "No Data" label in the ArcGIS Dashboards Indicator widget, allowing dashboard editors to customize the appearance of the message across all statistic types in ArcGIS Online.

This was raised yesterday 1/7/26 and is currently listed as 'In Review'

Hi @SnappedToGrid The update included a feature to drag sizing on indicator text by using shift + click. You can also hold shift to select multiple indicators at once to configure them the same way. If this feature is not working for you I encourage logging a Support case so we can take a closer look.

Thanks for information about drag sizing, but the ability to set the text size should be a standard feature. I need my indicators to be evenly distributed, and the current text is far too large. I've created custom expressions as a workaround, but this isn't an ideal solution. A simple text size option within the indicator settings should be reinstated, as a basic and useful feature has been removed.
