Snapping newly created point to another point feature layer in map

Question

I'm attempting to create a calculated expression within Field Maps where a newly created point snaps to the closest existing feature from another point feature layer in my map and fetches its attributes.

I've recently been able to create an expression that fetches the attributes of a nearest point feature using this arcade expression template  . However, I am still working out how to snap the newly created point to an existing point. Does anyone in this community have an example of a custom function which snaps a newly created point to a closest existing point?

Are you trying to actually move the location of the point by updating the geometry of the feature? That workflow isn't supported with form calculations - only attributes can be calculated.

If that is what is desired, you may want to look into Attribute Rules (which are only supported on ArcGIS Enterprise at this time). There's a post here with some related info and discussion.
