Symbology derived from an Arcade expression not permitting template usage in Field Maps

Anonymous User — Fri, 30 Sep 2022 18:34:00 GMT

I am developing a field map layer for us to record polygonal progress through a forestry unit. The symbology for the progress layer was complicated enough that it required the use of an Arcade expression to correctly display.

We have beta-tested the field map and identified a user need to incorporate templates in this layer. However, when we go to configure the form, template are unable to be added. The below screenshot is what is displayed:

My user account owns the layer, and I am able to change templates on other layers. Reading other help articles, it appears that it might not be possible to use templates if the symbology is derived from Arcade. I am not sure why, as it seems like the template should just ingest the layer's form to allow for default values. i also cannot configure the default values feature, however, there is a message posted indicating I can't do it.

Here is the Arcade expression I am using:

var type = $feature.Type var piling = $feature.Piling var covering = $feature.Covering var fireline = $feature.Fireline if (type == "Machine work"){ if ((piling == "Yes" && covering == "Yes" && fireline == "Yes") || piling == "NA" ){ return "Complete Machine Work"} else {return "Incomplete Machine Work"} } else if (type == "Handwork"){ if (piling == "Yes" && covering == "Yes" && fireline == "Yes") { return "Complete Handwork"} else{return "Incomplete Handwork"} } else {return "Other"}
