Watermark not working as it should

ALBJORGUI — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 16:15:29 GMT

Hi everyone,

Here I am asking for help again regarding watermarks.

I attach the xls of the form I am trying to sort out.

What I have

An image question called nameplate_image.
A calculated text field nameplate_image_wm_test that contains the watermark text.
A debug field nameplate_image_debug which correctly contains the same watermark text (so the calculation itself seems OK).
I’ve tried editing bind::esri:parameters for the image question and done basic testing there, but I can’t get the watermark to show.

What I want

The nameplate_image image to show the watermark defined by the calculated field nameplate_image_wm_test.

What I’ve tried

Confirmed the calculated value via nameplate_image_debug.
Edited bind::esri:parameters on the nameplate_image question.

What am I missing? I have lost hope and done basic testing in the bind::esri:parameters...

Please help 🙂

Hi @ALBJORGUI,

Am guessing here I haven't tested it yet

For your nameplate_image row for now without any extra parameter, set: bind::esri:parameters: bottomRightWatermark=${nameplate_image_wm_text}

For your test_photo row (if you want a static test watermark), set bind::esri:parameters :
bottomRightWatermark="STATIC TEST"

Hope this helps!

Try this out, I moved the color and size from the bind parameter field to your name calculation inside the concat(). Then set the bind::esri: parameters to: bottomRightWatermark=${nameplate_image_wm_text} and it appears to work.

You also need to add the number of digits you would like to round to in your true bearing if statement inside your "nameplate_image_wm_text" calculation

It worked Neal!

Thank you so much! 😄
