Arcade for Creator field

[FrankHerbert]

This one should be easy for most people out there...

I have a Field Maps survey for offline use. There is only one feature layer that I wish to populate during data collection. I have a field called 'Contractor' and I want it to auto-populate the same as the Creator field. Editor tracking is enabled on the target feaure layer.

So in other words, I can record the name of the person collecting the data without worrying about losing the info if editor tracking is disabled.

I have tried the following:
$feature.Creator

Text(GetUser().username)

$user.username

And a few others. Most of them return the Creator field inside the arcade expression preview pane, but then they fail inside Field Maps. I can do this easily in QuickCapture but for some reason, Field Maps won't let me.

Hi @FrankHerbert 

I just tested the following Arcade expression and this works offline

var userInfo = GetUser($layer);

return userInfo.username;

Information like the FullName does look like it requires an online connection though,

Let me know if you have any other questions about this one

Thanks

Alex
