I am well aware of GPS metadata fields . However, I have inherited a service that I do not have permissions to add fields to. 

In this table, there is a field for location accuracy. The user is supposed to manually input it. 

Is it possible to grab device information from Arcade and calculate that information in?

Thanks!

Try:

$feature._capture.horizontalAccuracy

Form editor won't let me save it 😕 

It doesn't like the "capture". Thank you, though!

Worth a shot

I don't think it's possible then without metadata fields or using survey123

Super weird, though. I wish I were at UC this year haha. It'd be easier to ask someone there.

I'm lucky enough to be here and just asked @DougMorgenthaler directly.

Unfortunately not at this time but he would be interested to know if it's something you'd like to see!

I would love to see it. I've put in an Idea for it on the FieldMaps board here: Smart forms & Arcade: Grab Device information, suc... - Esri Community

Thanks for asking!
