Pop-ups in Web Editor Template (Instant App)

Bud — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 21:10:37 GMT

I've created an AGOL instant app from a web map using the Web Editor Template.

I want to view the attributes from a hosted feature layer point in a pop-up while creating a feature in a different hosted feature layer.

As far as I can tell, there isn't pop-up/identify/explore functionality in the Web Editor Template instant app. Could that functionality be added?

Hi @Bud,

Thanks for sharing your idea. Pop-ups are supported in Web Editor. To view a pop-up:

Select a feature
Open the Selection pane
Click the options menu next to the feature name (...) and choose Show pop-up.

Hope that helps!

@EmilyGeo

Thanks! I wonder if this idea is still valid. Could a single-click pop-up button be added to the main UI?

Would it help if I changed the title of this idea to something like "Pop-up button in main Web Editor toolbar"?

Hi @Bud,

Yep, the idea to access a pop-up with less clicks is totally valid, and something we're considering. It would be great to post the idea on the Web Editor board so folks can give it a thumbs up it there as well, and we can get an idea how important this is to Web Editor users.

Thanks again for sharing your idea!

@EmilyGeo Feel free to close this idea.

I created a separate Web Editor idea: Pop-up with fewer clicks

@EmilyGeo the workaround does not work when the pop up comes from an imagery layer such as the World Elevation GMTED. I want the user to click so as to get the elevation from the popup and populate the Z field of a feature layer. Is there a way to support this workflow? Thanks.

@IanWittenmyer On a side note, I think you should be merging duplicate ideas instead of closing them. That's how it's done in other Esri idea communities.
