Concatinating fields on the fly into a virtual field for feature services

[LyonMNGIS]

Hello,

I have a 3rd party that would like me to add an attribute to a feature service layer.  This field can be calculated from other fields.  I don't want to add a field on the main dataset as this will only be used for a specific application.  Is there a way to add a virtual field within a hosted layer view?

Thanks!

Hi,

Assuming your software versions support it, then take a look at Arcade and the text functions there:

AFAIK, not directly.

You have a few options:

• use Arcade to show the virtual value in the popup
• create the field, but calculate it automatically using an attribute rule
• instead of publishing a feature class, publish a database view that contains the virtual field, calculated with SQL
