Plug for Analysis widget issues to be next please. 

Esp the issue with the Search widget is causing us so many user support calls.  

Search widget auto popup cannot be used as input to the Analysis widget.

Very keen to see Parcel Drafter added to future releases of Experience Builder.

When will the filter widget add spatial filtering capabilities, or a spatial filter be built? Near me and query are too complex for the type of experience I am building. This looks like this has been a reoccurring ask for many years, and it has never been addressed in a simpler form. 

It's specifically for user-friendly, simpler click experiences that need the capability of filtering points or features within a specified polygon layer. The user is not being given the choice to render or build their own queries or filters as it would render it too complex and confusing.

I am working on updating a very outdated web app builder into a streamlined, modern Ex B app for our municipality, and spatial filtering would level up the capability of this app. This is a public-facing app, and my users need something as simple as a 1-click filter (which I have built, but it only filters the points based on the project application type)... that when you filter to a polygon (Wards) it will select and filter points (development projects) inside of the polygon. Adding the ward information into the point feature layer is not possible as I am limited to only being able to pull data from our plan portal.
