I have posted some test Vector Tile Packages to AGO.  Does anyone know if there is a way to get attributes in a popup?  It sounds possible in the help but only for a custom web app.  I see that you can now add a popup for a map service or cache tiles by pointing to a Feature Service but I do not see this option for Vector Tiles.

I think the ability to change color is still in development correct?

Also please add the ability to see Vector Tile packages and/or Vector services in ArcMap!

Thanks

KGerrow-esristaff‌, any updates on this follow-up question from a.hirschi-wyssesri-rw-esridist‌?  It has been about six months, and from what I can gather poking around Esri sites and Google, there isn't much to report on.  I am hoping there is, and I am just missing it.  Thanks.

Hello Kelly,

Do you know if this is something in the roadmap ?

It seems to be a very promising when looking at it:

Get features under the mouse pointer | Mapbox 

Thanks,

Nicolas

Nicolas‌, while we're waiting for an answer from Kelly and/or Katie, you might vote for this: Vector Tile Popups  (if not yet done).

Hi Nicolas,

There is currently some work being done on a project to include some functionality. I'll update this post when i have a more specific timeline.

Kelly please consider posting early prototype to the ESRI Github page, as was done with heatmap layer, so we can begin to experiment with this feature before it is included in main JS API.

Are there any updates on this? We had a use case where we want to get some attribute information on mouse over such as the name of the location they are hovering over.

I believe this information exists in the Esri tile layers, it just isn't exposed by hit test. To demonstrate this I include two samples both using the same Esri Tile layer (they look different because one is styled one not). Once using the open layers API and the other using Esri JSAPI

Open layers

JSAPI
https://codepen.io/davidwilton/pen/RwVXgva?editors=1000

With open layers I not only get the name of the item but also the NLS

With Esri I get nothing but the layer name

This is clearly indicated as a feature in ESRI help doc, but I'm unable to get anything working. See this posting:https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-questions/vector-tile-layers-and-querying/m-p/1092495/hi...

I love how nobody can get this working but esri claims it's a supported feature. ESRI STAFF - please provide an update on this with clear instructions that ACTUALLY WORK. Thanks

I have run into the same issues being expressed here. I have published my vector tile layer from ArcGIS Pro 3.3 and published an associated feature layer so that I can leverage the attribute querying functionality. In ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1, when I try to configure attribute queries I just get the generic 'Unable to configure the attributes at this time'. This bug - BUG-000146829 for Portal for ArcGIS (esri.com) - is lodged for Enterprise 10.9.1 but it seems as though this has not been resolved even for newer versions... Very frustrating.
