Copy Features Function Missing from Experience Builder Edit Widget

[JeremyBrown4]

I have been searching the community site for a while looking for an answer to this question, but every time I see it asked there is no response from ESRI. I will go ahead and @AlixVezina , since she wrote the last article I read on the new Edit widget in ExB. 

My question is, are there any plans to updated the new Edit widget in ExB to include the Copy Features functionality that the WAB version currently has? If not, will there be some combination of features or Arcade functionality to accomplish this task, or will it simply be unavailable in ExB?

Is there still no functionality for Append / Copy / Paste features in ExB?

Is this because Esri wants to reserve this functionality for users at Creator level (ie building it exclusively into Web Editor?)

[AlixVezina]

The copy paste functionality is planned for Experience Builder and is currently a work in progress.

Will this be available as a patch in 11.5 before Enterprise 12 comes out?  It's pretty important functionality that is keeping us on WebApp Builder as there are no viable alternatives.

Thanks!

That's great to hear Alix! Thanks for the update!

Hi Alix - Do you have an ETA for this enhancement? Despite being 6 months (or less) from WAB retirement, I'm finding myself building a WAB app just to get this functionality.

My use case is similar to many of the others mentioned in this thread. We need it to manage incident-specific road closures for the San Bernardino County Office of Emergency Services.

Many of the mountain roads cannot be easily traced into the Road Closures layer (per the Road Closures solution instructions) and we need a way for non-technical EOC staff to copy large numbers of complex road segments into the closures layer. The one-at-a-time Survey123 workflow does not come close to the ease of use and functionality of Copy Features in the Smart Editor.

Hi @AllisonMuise2 , support for copy/pasting multiple features between layers is planned for the October update of the Web Editor app in ArcGIS Online. For now, Web Editor is where you'll be able to achieve this workflow. Copy-paste for Experience Builder is still in progress, and we do not have a set timeline yet.

Attempting to build workflows that empower my users to own their own data and not rely on power users for editing.  Need this functionality!
