Hi, I am trying to change the default unit for

They are currently set to Miles and I want to change it to KM.

My organization is set to Metric

In Widget.js -> _switchToAnalysisTool, I also tried to set the unit via the arg which works for create buffer.

Any suggestions?

@VictorTey,

I have not tested this but it should be as simple as adding these lines to the same function:

if(this.currentToolSetting.title === 'summarizeNearby'){ args.units = "Kilometers"; }

Hi @RobertScheitlin__GISP I have not idea how you know that but it works. I had a break point on the submit hoping to see it in the argument but I don't see units there. Did you know to use units from the rest endpoint ? Again thank you so much 🙂

@VictorTey

I just looked at the available properties for the tool in the documentation.
