https://community.esri.com/t5/developers-questions/arcade-how-to-use-overlaps-function/m-p/1307532#M6668 <P>I have an app where the user is digitising the lines and want to display a message when the line they are digitising (at least partially) overlaps with the existing lines.&nbsp;</P><P>I have to display a message when the feature the user is digitising intersects with other features as well - and the Intesects() script works ok.
