FeatureSetByPortalItem and FeatureSetByMap - latest updates impacts

hbontrager_dgco — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 18:09:37 GMT

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had any information about possible impacts to the functionality of FeatureSetByPortalItem and FeatureSetByMap functions in Arcade from the Feb 2026 AGOL updates. I can't find anything in their 'what's new' page but could have missed something.

I have a pop-up which relies on FeatureSetByPortalItem to count the number of unfiltered items - basically it connects to the item in portal and counts the number of rows in the item - and then FeatureSetByMap to count the number of filtered items -connects to the table in the map and counts the number of filtered rows.

These filtered vs non-filtered counts are compared within arcade to determine what should be seen in the pop-up when filters are applied to the layer within experience builder. Basically, if the ratio of filtered items to non-filtered items surpasses a certain limit it shows a different type of pop-up.

However, when I logged in this morning, I noticed that the number of features returned by FeatureSetByMap is no longer the number of filtered items when the pop-up is viewed in Experience Builder feature information widget. Both FeatureSetByMap and FeatureSetByPortalItem are now returning the number of items in an unfiltered layer.

Is this to be expected given the new updates?

Thanks for any insight people can give

Hello @hbontrager_dgco can you share the arcade expression that you are using?

I can’t share the main script I use for privacy reasons (I could probably message to it to you but don’t want to reply publicly and post it here).

However, I did create a simple script which replicates the problem that I can share below.

One note – in the script below I’m pulling in data from our arcgis enterprise into a map in arcgis online and then importing that map into an experience builder in arcgis online. I’ve also tried it using layers in arcgis online directly, but our publicly available data is in our enterprise portal (so using that layer for troubleshooting here).

To replicate:

In map viewer

Got to AGOL
Create a map
Add tax parcel layer

https://gis.dgcoks.gov/server/rest/services/Tax_Parcel/FeatureServer/0

Format pop-up > add arcade expression
Paste script below

////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// path to item in our portal

var portalPath = "https://gis.dgcoks.gov/portal"

var parcelAGOLID = "ae6cdfe2189c4b69985d38d952f97061"

var parcelAGOLsubID = 0

// name of item on our map

var taxParcelLayerNameInMap = "Tax Parcel"

////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// pull in the layers into arcade

var unfilteredParcels = FeatureSetByPortalItem(Portal(portalPath), parcelAGOLID, parcelAGOLsubID,['*'], false)

var filteredParcels = FeatureSetByName($map, taxParcelLayerNameInMap, ['*'], false)

////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// get counts of layer in portal and layer in map

var countUnfiltered = Count(unfilteredParcels)

var countFiltered = Count(filteredParcels)

////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// format and return to user number of filtered and unfiltered parcels

var tableHTML = '<table><tr colspan = 2><i><u>Filtered vs Unfiltered Counts</u></i></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><strong>Unfiltered Count: </strong>'+countUnfiltered+'</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Filtered Count: </strong>'+countFiltered + '</td></tr></table>'

return {

type : 'text',

text : tableHTML

}

In experience builder

Create experience builder in agol
Add filter widget
- Connect filter to map created in agol
- Set filter to filter by JOINPIN (see attached image)
Add a feature info widget
- Connect to tax parcel layer in agol map
Randomly select some parcels in the filter to filter layer
Previously, this would have updated the ‘filter count’ whereas the ‘unfiltered count’ would have remained the same (see attached image)

Other things I've tried

Adding a map widget in experience builder and having the feature info interact directly with the map
Reading in AGOL layers instead of portal layers

Thank you for your time,

Thank you @hbontrager_dgco !

I was able to reproduce and noticed there was no issue reflecting filters applied in Map Viewer, and that the pop-up in the Map Widget was also correct when the Feature Info widget was not. We are tracking this as BUG-000183086: Feature Info Widget in ArcGIS Experience Builder does not honor filters applied using the Experience Builder Filter Widget if the Web Map pop-up uses Arcade to return the map as a featureSetCollection.

I'm having this issue, too! I've copied/pasted a couple of Arcade expressions from an existing map layer's pop-up to a new map (I'm creating the next iteration of our Tool) and it works in the first version but not in the second. One uses the FeatureSetByPortalItem but the other doesn't; it's supposed to just concatenate fields:

var address = IIf(IsEmpty($feature.siteadd1), '', Concatenate($feature.siteadd1 + (IIf(IsEmpty($feature.siteadd2), '', TextFormatting.NewLine + $feature.siteadd2)) + TextFormatting.NewLine + $feature.sitecity + ", " + $feature.sitestate + " " + $feature.sitezip)) return address

Any ideas when this might be fixed?
