ArcGIS Online Experience Builder - Select Tool

AstridF — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 03:03:41 GMT

Is there a way to add to an existing selection using the Select widget in Experience Builder?

When I use the Select widget, I can’t add to the current selection — holding Shift doesn’t work. However, if I enable selection directly from the map’s own selection tools (instead of the widget), adding to the selection works as expected.

Is this a known limitation of the Select widget? Ideally, we’d like to use the Select widget only, without having to enable both the map selection tools and the widget controller.

Thanks!

Hi! Thanks for the response. Would it be possible to include it as future improvement - adding to the current selection using the widget?

Cheers
A
