Add feature by WKID coordinates

PiotrCienin — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 16:19:49 GMT

Hello everyone

I have a question that maybe someone already knows the answer to, as the topic is well-known, but unfortunately I can't find the forum.
Does anyone have or know where I can find a widget that will insert an object based on WKID coordinates?

Ideally, it could be configured to connect to the map's edit data, but if it were a temporary object, meaning it could be inserted on the map, for example, as a pin, I'd also appreciate it. Experience Builder 1.19 (Dev Edition)

This is how I see this widget working:

The user enters:

X = 123124.66

Y = 434343.46

WKID = 2177

Click "Add point"

The point:

is saved to Enterprise GDB

appears on the map

The attribute form opens automatically

identical to the "Edit" widget

The user fills in the data and saves it

Best regards, everyone

Hi @PiotrCienin

There might be a solution with the coordinates and ensuring your map is the desired coordinate system, please see the link below which you might find helpful

How To: Create a Point on a Map by Entering Coordinates into the ArcGIS Experience Builder

Something like the following JS might work

//Create a point Geometry

const point = new Point({
x: xValue,
y: yValue,
spatialReference: { wkid: wkidValue }
});

//Add the feature to the target layer

layer.applyEdits({
addFeatures: [{ geometry: point, attributes: {} }]
});

Thanks for the tip. However, I have a question. In which file and where in this pre-built widget should I add your script?
