I would like to be able to manually grab device information and GPS metadata in Field Maps forms using Arcade.

My use case is: I inherited a table whose schema I cannot make changes to. There exists a field in it ("ACCURACY_FT") for the user to manually input device accuracy while collecting a point. 

I would like to simplify and streamline things for the user by calculating this information with Arcade, rather than only being able to capture it via the GPS metadata fields.

Thanks!
