Using effects from web map in Field Maps

RoseN — Thu, 26 Jan 2023 21:32:40 GMT

I have a web map that I am editing in Map Viewer to use in Field Maps. I set feature-specific effects on a few of my layers, like drop shadow and blur, but it is not displaying in my Field Maps app. Are effects not supported in Field Maps yet?

I have exactly the same issue. Feature-specific effects, in my case used to emphasize already visited points, do not show. It would be super useful to be able to use it. Hope the answer or solution comes soon.

Has any work arounds been discovered for this? Am experiencing the exact same issue (Feature Specific Effects not replicating in Field Maps)

Same. Just trying to have drop-shadow effects displayed in the map in the Field Maps app.

@Tiff Were you able to resolve this issue? I am running into the same problem now and would rather use the shadow effect to indicate points already visited. I would rather do this than create a lengthy expression.

@VojtěchAndrš You can change symbology using the expression field however depending on your symbology already this can be a lengthy process .

Hello! Unfortunately no, but I'm glad I noted the enhancement # here. The enhancement case hasn't been updated since June 2024 and it is still under the status "In Review" with a "Low" priority.
