Change elevation profile widget slope units to percent instead of degrees.

Can the elevation profile widget units in ArcGIS Online Instant Apps 3D Viewer and experience builder be changed to percent instead of degrees? It seems slope percent is much more popular than slope degrees. ArcGIS Pro uses percent for the elevation profile tool, and Google Earth uses percent for the elevation profile. Please see the attached screenshots.

Both Experience Viewer and Instant Apps use the elevation profile component from the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript. I reached out to the team to see if there was a way for us to support slope percentage and with the current component there is not but they did say they will consider it for a future release.

Once its available in the SDK we can provide it in the applications.

Thanks Kelly! Looking forward to the slope percent in the future.
