Allow a Single Return Arcade Expression in the Layout as a Dynamic Text Option

Currently, within the Layout a user is able to embed an ArcGIS Arcade Expression as an Insert Table Attribute, this is great for returning multiple delimited items but not great when they just want a single item returned.

The following image shows a single return that was created by isolating the result to a single OBJECTID; however, this approach requires a user to know/verify that a single OBJECTID exists ahead of time because you cannot write a SQL query like: OBJECTID = MIN(OBJECTID)

For this example, we are tallying up votes in a protest map. Without a definition query to a single record, we'd end up with the results per record or per visible record.

Ideally, we could use a Table Statistic to set to an Arcade Expression

That's it!
