DistanceGeodetic not working in QuickCapture

Moff — Sat, 08 Feb 2025 00:10:57 GMT

DistanceGeodetic isn't working in QuickCapture. Will trigger in the designer, but blank on actual capture. The Distance function does work, but is not what I need.

Unsure if it's related to the same issue listed here: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-field-maps-questions/distancegeodetic-not-working-in-fieldmaps/m-p/1523237#M9323 Figured I would throw it out there as an issue.

Also - the help resource for the function within the Arcade editor has a different capitalization format than the current function.

The following worked for me:

var facilities = FeatureSetByName($map, "Medical");

var point_fs = Intersects(facilities, Buffer($feature, 2000, "meters"));

var min_dist = 99999;

var nearest_medicalName = null;

var geo = Geometry($feature);

for (var point in point_fs) {

var point_geo = Geometry(point);

var dist = DistanceGeodetic(geo, point_geo, "meters");

if (dist < min_dist) {

min_dist = dist;

nearest_medicalName = point.name;

}

return nearest_medicalName;

Note that following:

- DistanceGeodetic function only works between 2 points, not lines,

- The designer will run the expression on the first feature in the feature layer you are targetting.

Please share your expression if you need assistance in troubleshooting this.

Cheers
