"Zoom to" behavior when using two maps with different scale limits

In experience builder, I have two map widgets. The main map (Map 1), which is what the user will be interacting with, and a smaller, "extent" map (Map 2) that has a scale limit set. There is a "Zoom to" message action set on Map 1 when the extent changes, so Map 2 essentially acts as an overview map. I do not wish to enable the overview map tool on the main map widget because there is no customizability, and it is practically invisible unless the user activates it. 

I want the user to have a simultaneous small scale and large scale view of their specific area of interest. This is especially because they may be selecting features from a List widget, which will sometimes instantly "snap" to the feature instead of smoothly transitioning to the next selection. (Shown below...)

Selecting from this list produces the expected behavior. However, if I manually zoom to a scale on Map 1 that exceeds the limit set on Map 2, the second map does not respond to any stimuli until I zoom Map 1 out to a scale that falls within the scale limit.

I was hoping Map 2 would still pan around to match the location of Map 1, while retaining its maximum scale so that the user has an immediate idea of where they are at. It is likely that users will want to utilize both the manual navigation and the list navigation options, so it's frustrating that the extent change on Map 2 is only fully respected when the feature is selected from the list (even when Map 1 is zoomed in past the limit set on Map 2!). Is this behavior possible (or will it be)?

Hi @MackenzeOriger,

Question 1: Overview map: There is no customizability, and it is practically invisible unless the user activates it. 

Initially expanding the overview map tool was available in ArcGIS Online and will be available with ArcGIS Enterprise 12.1. There is currently no customization available for this feature.

Question2: Cannot zoom/pan in Map placed within a Map

Please track this issue BUG-000175526 Map widget configured as a child component to another Map widget disables panning & zooming

If the extension is for the overview map tool, are you hoping to be able to change the base map and set the zoom scale?

 

Thanks,

Ke
