Editable field with calculated expression

Hey there folks,

Is it possible to have a calculated expression on a field, and still let it be edited?

The case is: When a user create a new feature, there's a field that contains data that needs to be inputed manually (needs to be editable), but it would be very useful if the user received an "sugestion" on what needs to be writen.

That "sugestion" is obtainable with a Arcade expression, but when I use a calculated expression on a field, and mark it as editable, the expression doesn't get executed, only when it's not editable.

Appears to me that the field can't have both capabilities, am I right? Or there's a workaround?

Thanks.

Hello! I ran into this issue today and ESRI has a solution in case you are still struggling with this. It requires adding a new field to your data. It's simple and works great!
