Allow saving Arcade expressions across layers

Tiff — Wed, 05 Apr 2023 16:56:07 GMT

I would like to be able to reuse Arcade scripts for calculated expressions in Field Maps Designer and Map Viewer across layers. This is essential for most if not all of our layers where we calculate the intersecting polygon boundary for assets. By allowing Arcade scripts to be usable across the map and across different layers, this will be tremendously helpful in speeding up workflows and Field Maps configurations.

I believe that this idea was mentioned as a future enhancement, that Arcade expressions could be saved to the portal as their own items. Not sure where it's at on the roadmap, though.

Ah, thank you @jcarlson - that is true it would be extremely helpful across the AGOL environment not just Field Maps.

I've had similar thoughts about being able to save Arcade expressions to an AGOL-wide library for reuse across layers and maps. Good to see it's already on the roadmap (somewhere).
