In the Text Widget/Dynamic Text is there a way to hide the variable and the curly brackets until something is selected? Or a way to write an expression - i.e. If {County} = "" Then "" Else {County}? Seems like this should be easy but I'm not seeing anything. Thanks.

Hi Melissa, we just released the second week of April and our next release will be at the end of June. The option to use selected features with the Feature Info widget I mention above is in the current release. 

 

Cheers,

I miss read the workaround, my scenario is akin to an asset viewer, so to select the first in a default view as a default value would end up misrepresenting what is on the map/expbuilder app and cause confusion to the user, UX would essentially be poor. is there a way to just show a default text of ""/nothing until clicked or when nothing is selection rather than the curly bracket {fieldname} as described above?  Thanks for your time, 

Cheers
