ArcGIS Pro- Layouts- Dynamic Test- Issue with Table Attribute Arcade
Hey ArcGIS Pro team,
We're seeing an issue with dynamic text in our layout. When using the Table Attribute expression builder, it appears inserting text (" " or ' ') in the Arcade expression builder thows an error:
Even tested the Text() function with no luck.
When reading the documentation, it appears that adding text is supported in the expression builder:
https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/layouts/add-dynamic-text.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_C11EE36EE13...
also the expression help:
Is this a bug or is there a reason we're getting this error?
Also please let me know if I'm missing this functionality somewhere else. We have 50-100+ maps that we're producing in Pro project's Map Series and not every map needs to have the same text iterated over it. We'd like have the functionality to to display dynamic text in the Map Series Layout but only if they meet the demands for the query.
Thanks,
Amanda Huber
Hi @Amanda__Huber,
There are no specific issues that I'm aware of that would cause this not to work. I was able to do this successfully using 3.4. In the screenshot below I was applying a "Custom query". I was also successful with "Visible rows" and "Map series rows". I noticed that the error stated that no features were found (with, I presume, the custom query). I tested this as well and found no problem.
There could be an issue specific to you data. Could you contact support? They are better equipped to handle troubleshooting steps and gather bug data. They can be contacted at https://support.esri.com/en/contact-tech-support.
Thanks,
Tom
