Arcade Question

JeffHanson2 — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 13:46:01 GMT

I'm converting a VB Script Calculate Field expression to Arcade and can't get it right. The VB Script is:

Left([Control_Number__Control_Account___Control_Account_], 5) (Yes, it is a long field name)

The FarmCtrl field is set to the first 5 characters of field Control_Number__Control_Account___Control_Account_

I just can't get the Arcade syntax right, I've tried:

Left($Feature"Control_Number__Control_Account___Control_Account_", 5) but that doesn't work.

You have to encase the field name in brackets

Left($feature["Control_Number__Control_Account___Control_Account_"], 5)

feature

Thank you, that works. I'm learning Arcade now after years of VB Script and Python
