Assign Label Color Using Arcade Expression in ArcGIS Pro

Hi Everyone,

I used this arcade expression $feature.Name + TextFormatting.NewLine + "<CLR red = '255'>"+ $feature.Address +"</CLR>"

The issue is that some labels have the red color will others show the whole expression. I am lost on what could be the issue.

The feature name contains special characters (& or <), which causes the formatting to fail. You have to replace those characters with their equivalent character codes (& and <)

replace($feature.Name, "&", "&") + TextFormatting.NewLine + "<CLR red = '255'>"+ $feature.Address +"</CLR>"
