Can you change the font color by dynamic data?

ChristenWatts — Thu, 20 Aug 2020 21:14:43 GMT

I am building out some cards, and using the Dynamic Text feature, is it possible to build an expression that would do an If, Else with the dynamic data? I'd like to color code the data by the attribute. So If Status is "green" then the font color would be green. Is something like this possible? Thanks for your help!

Hi Christen,

Currently there may not a better way to do this than manullay changing the font color, but we'll look into this.

Thank you,

Shengdi

Hey @CalebAnderson no, I didn’t figure it out. Let me know if you do!!

Thanks @ChristenWatts. It's not as elegant as being able to do this directly within a text box but one of our GIS developers, @PeterDalrymple, pointed out that by referencing the web map within exp. builder, the 'feature info' widget passes in the pop-up from the web map. If a custom HTML pop-up is built using arcade expressions for changing color, this carries through into exp. builder. It's a different application concept than yours but I can share the link once complete if you're interested.

Oh that’s really smart. I love arcade. Thanks for the great idea.

The text widget supports dynamic styles in the June 2025 AGOL release. These styles will be set on the entire widget content.

If you only want part of the content to use a dynamic style, you can insert an Arcade expression into the text.
