Is there a plan to enable the arcade ide to auto-indent like other languages( python )?

[RPGIS]

Just a basic question but is there any plans to update arcade so that ide indents like it does for other languages? I don't know if this question has been asked but I have been using other ides( Code Writer ) to write the code needed simply due to syntax and indentation.

Specifically regarding ArcGIS Pro.

What is this "indent" you speak of??

[HaydenWelch]

It doesn't count as gratuitous nesting of you never indent!

[AustinAverill]

I attended an Arcade workshop from ESRI and it was suggested that you should avoid code being in more than one continuous line.....

[HaydenWelch]

I'm going to be charitable and interpret that as "keep your Arcade scripts short" and not "who needs whitespace"

[RPGIS]

I mean it adds a few spaces so you can identify when a new line or working with dictionaries or arrays.

'un-indented code'
{
  'Indented line of code'
  }

You can apply standard linting rules (which includes indenting) to your code with Shift+Alt+F or right-clicking and selecting Format Document.

Is that something you'd need to do each time you open the Arcade element?

[RPGIS]

Your suggestion unfortunately does not work in pro. In either arcgis online and enterprise portals it does indent but the pro version does not.

[KenBuja]

Esri does plan to upgrade the Arcade editor in ArcGIS Pro, but it doesn't sound like it's going to be in the next release.
