Arcade expression: $map not recognised

FrankHerbert — Thu, 13 Feb 2025 21:17:36 GMT

I'm getting a new error message that has never happened before. Please help!

In January 2025, I published a QuickCapture project for offline use. The user carries out a brief survey, and the new point feature is intersected with a vector polygon layer from the project MMPK. The vector polygon layer is very simple - just five regions covering the country, and the name of the intersecting region is passed to the new point feature. Here is the expression:

var regions = FeatureSetByName($map, "Regions");

// Filter the features where 'Type' is 'Ops'

var filteredRegions = Filter(regions, "Type = 'Ops'");

// Find intersections with the filtered feature set

var GEOGRAB = Intersects($feature, filteredRegions);

if (Count(GEOGRAB) == 1) {

return Text(First(GEOGRAB).Region);

} else {

return "NA";

}

I was able to publish the project, and it still works to this day in the field. I am trying to replicate the process for a separate project and that's when I noticed I couldn't publish the expression. I receive this error message:

Test execution error: Compilation error - Line : 1, 31: Identifier not recognized. Verify test data.

So there's is something wrong with the $map identifier, but I'm not sure what it is.
It might be worth mentioning, to publish the expression last month, I needed to use a dummy web map that was a replica of the MMPK. This allowed me to publish the expression and subsequently swap out the web map for the MMPK. This is a know bug to ESRI hence why I used this workaround.

Perhaps ESRI have released an update that will not let me publish the expression... I'm not sure.

Any help/advice would be appreciated.

When you add the project basemap, just make sure to save and then refresh the QC project. Otherwise, QC doesn't seem to realise there's a project basemap containing the layers you want to query. Once you have done this, it will recognise the $map function in the expression and stop throwing out error messages
