I am developing an app in Experience Builder Developer version 1.17 and have added a Draw widget. The selection tools in the widget
don't do anything and I need to know if this is a bug. The source web map and data are hosted on our Enterprise Portal and I am not finding any settings in the map service that would prevent feature selection. I read through the documentation and verified that there are no widget settings that I am missing that would affect the selection tools other than making sure the map widget is selected, which it is. Also, I can add the Selection widget to the map (as well as the map tool) and both work as expected, so I'm sure it's not the data.
If I have to, I can add css properties to remove the elements and add the Select map tool, but would rather not unless it is in fact a bug.

I think you might be misunderstanding the purpose of these tools. They are for selecting graphics made by the Draw Widget so that they can be edited, not a general purpose select function like the Select Tool in the Map Widget.

Ok, that makes perfect sense, thank you. It is confusing however that the tools show up in the toolbar when there is nothing selectable in the map. The problem is that they are selectable which gives a false impression that they are actually functional when there are no selectable graphics. It would alleviate confusion if Esri hid them or render them non-selectable until there are actually selectable graphics.
