I need to create an app where clients can copy a selection of multiple features and copy those features into another layer. . This collection of features should be added to the target layer as a single feature. 

I have seen a way this might work with Web Editor, but we need additional features available in Experience Builder. 

I am trying this workflow as described here, using the Survey widget:

https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/experience-builder/real-time/using-experience-builder-and-...

This works when selecting a single feature, but I can't find a way to use this to select multiple features and add them to my target layer

Also, when adding a single feature, I can navigate to the source web map and see it there, but it will not appear in the Experience Builder session, unless I refresh the page. Is there a setting in Survey123 I am missing to refresh the data after saving an entry? This would be a dealbreaker if I can't fix it.

EDIT: I edited this post to clarify that the copied features should be added into the target layers as a single feature.  I have tried this in Web Editor, but there too I can only select a single feature at a time.

Any new news on when this functionality might be added to Experience Builder?

Teams are working hard to get copy-paste into ExB for the first release of 2026!

@JasonFitzsimmons Please it would be helpful if you could also create an idea with this request in the Web Editor community? > ArcGIS Web Editor Ideas - Esri Community

All new copy-paste functionality is being built into the Web Editor and will then make it into Experience Builder eventually. Copy multiple and paste as one multi-part feature is something that we support in the Smart Editor widget in Web AppBuilder, and if this is functionality you still require, we should request it as part of the new copy-paste toolkit.
