Experience Builder - Edit Widget/Tables Domains showing/not showing what determines?

kmsmikrud — Fri, 02 Dec 2022 23:29:31 GMT

Hi,

What determines if the label/domain shows in the table/edit widgets in EB? We have a few apps set up and some tables show the labels and others show the code.

In the edit widget, for editing records the widget shows the label which is great, but if you select a value, an error message, "Value should be one of the listed values." shows and you can't edit? This is probably related to the text label not being an integer value for the field.

We can't find any setting to enable values/labels (coded domains) in either the table or edit widget.

Appreciate your help in advance,

Kathy

I am also having this problem right now. The domain labels appear when I view them in table view in AGOL but when they are in a table in EB it only shows the code.

Also having the same problem here. Edit widget only shows domain values (numbers) instead of the feature labels as it shows in Legend and Layers widget.

Experience builder is proving to be very disappointing as its Edit widget is not configurable.

Hi Cathy, thanks for your feedback. This issue is under our radar and we're working on it actively with our team - it is a limitation of maps SDK which Experience Builder is developed upon. We'll keep you posted and let you know when there are any updates. Thanks!

Hi @Shen_Zhang any updates on this issue? Our Edit Widget is showing the code value as the label and is not showing the display value. This makes our published application look unfinished, as we use underscores in the code value.

Hi @Shen_Zhang Is there any update to this? Exb is still showing domain codes rather than the descriptions

We encountered the same issue. What we did is to overwrite the layer in Pro version 3.4.0 and it resolved the issue.

I am also having this issue AND have Pro version 3.4 but it DIDN'T fix the issue. I am publishing to Enterprise 11.4. What environment are you overwriting the layer in?

Hey y'all, I was having the same issue, but I think I managed to figure out a workaround. I'm working in Enterprise 11.3 Portal. To make sure the Edit widget in Exp Builder shows the labels you want:

1. open the layer in Map Viewer Classic

2. click the edit button at the top

3. click manage at the bottom

4. select the layer from the dropdown at the top

5. click the dropdown symbol next to the code that the edit widget in exp builder is currently showing, and select "Properties"

Here you should be able to change the name of the label shown in the Exp Builder widget. I hope this helps! Very frustrating that this doesn't exist in Map Viewer!

Couldn't seem to find the "manage" button you described. Also working in 11.3. Any advice?

Hello--has a solution been developed for this issue? I still cannot get domain labels to appear in the edit widget. Thanks!

I'm seeing this in ExB as well (ArcGIS Online, not Enterprise)—specifically using a "filter" widget that asks the user to choose values from a dropdown list. The options show the codes rather than the labels. The datasource for the filter is coming via a web map. I have noticed that if I add the hosted feature layer as a datasource directly, rather than going through a web map, then the labels are displayed as desired. This isn't a good work around, however, if you need the filter to interact with a map widget.

I also noticed that the issue only happens on a specific field within my source layer. If I build the filter on other fields that have domains (regardless of whether the datasource comes through a web map or goes to the hosted feature layer directly) they show the labels instead of the codes, as desired.

To me this seems to indicate there may be an issue or setting set in the web map causing this—but I've been unable to find what. Very weird.

See my response below this one. Does that work for you?

Hello--I cannot seem to find the "manage" button you described when in editing mode. The only thing I'm allowed to do, it seems, is add a feature to the map in that mode.

I had this same issue and we found a way to fix it!

From ArcGIS Pro, select the layer, Edit tab-->Manage Templates (Manage Edits section)

Double-click one of the symbols in the Manage Templates pane to open the Template Properties for that symbol, make any change to the Name-->OK-->change the Name back to how you want it to display-->republish service (Overwrite)

After doing this, my Edit Widget symbols were updated with the coded domain description and not the individual integer values.
