Add support for repeating labels for polygons

[NicolasGIS]

I am just hitting the limitation of labeling polygons which cannot be repeated:

https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/api-reference/esri-layers-support-LabelClass.html#re... 

I have very long and narrow polygons (tunnels) and for this use case, having a single label at the center of the polygon is really not convenient. This property for lines has been added at 4.22 so a while ago.

It would be great if this support could be added.

Thanks for listening as usual !

Best regards,

Nicolas

Hi @NicolasGIS, thank you for posting your idea here. I think it makes sense, and we will place it under consideration. I will update this idea when we have an update to share.

Hi Esri Community, @Noah-Sager 

I’d like to contribute to this discussion, as I’m currently working with a utility client who manages a large, elongated polygon representing a critical gas zone. The current limitation around labelling polygons has a direct impact on operational visibility and, more importantly, on Health and Safety. In high-risk areas like this, clear and consistent labelling is essential for field teams and office operators to quickly identify and respond to potential hazards. This makes the lack of repeat labelling for polygons not just a technical gap, but a safety concern that needs to be prioritized.

Many thanks for considering this idea in the near future.

Kind regards,

Tanya
