Add Text to the Sketch Widget

[MichaelBoschert]

Hey,

i would like to offer the users the possibility to add some text to the map.
I tried with the following code https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-javascript-questions/how-to-add-draw-widget-along-with-...

That's works fine but it's done for API4.9, not 4.21. When changing to 4.21 in the "<script> part" it runs into an error or several functions don't work well.I tried to figure out the difference for a while but didn't find any solution.

Can someone help me? Maybe someone also finds an easier or another way to realize my issue...

What is your goal? You can use Map Notes to quickly add text to the map:

You can also extend the Sketch widget using the ViewModel, and assign a TextSymbol to the pointSymbol property:

Thanks @Noah-Sager  

My goal is to create a sketch widget with the possibility to add notes to the map using the API 4.21 - not 4.9 as it was used in my example.

All in one exactly what your example does... Thanks a lot, this will work for me!
