Enable Arcade for Near Me Results Display Field

I believe I've read that Arcade is coming to Experience Builder so perhaps this is already in the works. If not..

While using the Near Me widget, the analysis results have a display field which is used for the record's title in the results. Unfortunately, the designer must chose from an existing list of attribute fields and one cannot select an expression field that exists in the layer in the web map of interest *or* create an expression field in this part of the Near Me Widget Analysis options for use as the display field.

I work with census data and one of the attribute fields that stored the census tract or block group name is stored as text separated with semi-colons like this: "<Block Group>;<Census Tract>;<County Name>;<State>" and it would be very simple using Arcade to work with that string to parse out exactly how I want my label to be if I was able to use an Arcade expression rather than a physical field. Currently I'll have to add a new attribute field to my data in order to get the desired label for each record in the results.

In summary please either add the ability to define an Arcade Attribution Expression for the Display Field in the Near Me Analysis Widget *or* make attribute expression found in the webmap accessible in the display field list.

Hi @SteveCole

We are working on it, if everything goes as planned, this feature will be released Q2 this year.

@AzizaParveen1 any update on adding Arcade expressions in the display field? I am attempting to get a cumulative count of all the different filtered features across multiple layers after running the near me widget.

Seconding this - it would be immensely helpful to not be constrained to using a single field for the display text in the near me results.
