How to add geometry to a geometry-less feature?

Bud — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 17:37:31 GMT

I have a feature with an empty geometry in an Experience Builder app (point feature layer).

I want to select the feature in the attribute table and then add geometry to it using the editor widget. Is there a way to do that?

Note: The Add Marker tool in the attribute table doesn't do this. It adds a temporary, graphical pin to the map; it doesn't edit the feature.

I tested this in AGOL and it looks like the functionality doesn't exist within the provided Edit Widget. Any geometry tools are removed when the geometry-less feature is selected. I would recommend posting this in the Ideas forum.

Perhaps a custom widget would be able to accomplish this, but as a work around, I would suggest using Pro to add geometry. Hopefully this scenario isn't a common one for you.

Thanks for looking!

I submitted an idea just now: Add geometry to a feature that has no geometry.
