Table empty selection view not working

BerndtNording — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 21:51:29 GMT

I'm building a simple Experience app that allows the user to edit a few fields of a selected feature. I used map, table, and select widgets to do this. The app works as it should so the triggers are al set as they need to be except for one problem: The table is showing all the records when there is no selected feature. In the Data panel for the feature class in question I checked "No Selection View" and configured a view for "ObjectID is Blank". The table preview in the dialog where you configure the view shows that the filter returns no records.

However, when running the app the table is still showing all records - I must be missing something somewhere...

Initially I wanted to use a list widget instead of a table widget for this but concluded there was no way to show values for several fields of a record, nor make anything editable in there. Did I conclude wrongly?

In the Table Widget Settings, make sure your Data is set to Selected Features.

I guess I spoke too soon. While setting the data to selected features did solve the initial problem, it also broke the application, and I had to rebuild the app piece by piece several times before I finally found the culprit . Switching to Selected Features also sneakily changed the Configure Fields section to Use Layer Settings, and for some reason that also eliminates editing capabilities. I can't think of any logical reason why it would do that, is this a Bug???

It might have something to do with Experience Builder being incapable of making simultaneous edits to multiple features. As the Selected Features group could have multiple features in it.
