Edit Widget - Clicking on the map loses your edits

Tiff — Mon, 06 Nov 2023 15:05:57 GMT

I have a few Experience Builder apps with the editor widget. I am only now realizing that if you click on a feature to edit, and you start typing in your edits, and accidentally/intentionally click elsewhere on the map, the editor widget resets and you lose your edits. This is not ideal when I have my app to be set up to reference pop-ups of other layers to help with editing.

In Instant Apps if you click on the map, the editor widget keeps your place and you do not lose your edits.

Is this intended behavior and is there a way to resolve this?

I do believe it is intended behavior as the same happens for my applications. Could be a good idea to post to that board.

Hi @Laura, I submitted a technical case for this, identified as BUG-000167606. Looks like it is in the product plan with medium severity. Last updated June 2024, but hopefully it is resolved soon.
