Utility Network Trace Results – Table Selection Does Not Trigger Related Table Actions

[RG2]

Utility Network Trace widget in ArcGIS Experience Builder (Enterprise 11.5)

After running a trace:

• The Table widget correctly displays and highlights the traced records.

• However, the configured action (for example, selecting related records in another table) does not trigger.

• If a record is manually clicked in the table, the action fires immediately and the related table updates as expected.

Seems that the selection created by the Trace widget is visible but does not behave like a real selection event within Experience Builder.

Am I missing something in the configuration, or is this a current limitation of the Trace widget?

Hi @RG2 ,

Have you configured a Message action between the Utility Network Trace widget and related layer data source, to select the related records when a trace is returned? Message actions only go one level deep, so you'll need to configure the action between the Utility Network Trace widget and the related layer itself, rather than between the Table widget and the related layer.

Message action example below (this is not utility network data):

Steps:

1. Go to the Action panel in the Utility Network Trace widget settings
2. Under Message action, click Add a trigger
3. Select a target: Record selection changes
4. Select a target: Framework / Data
5. Select an action: Select data records
6. Trigger data: the layer being selected by the Utility Network Trace widget when trace results are returned
7. Action data: the related layer, related to the trigger data layer above
8. Conditions: Use layer's relationship (note: you can also mimic relationships based on common field values)
