It would be very beneficial if users had the ability to customize symbology of layers in the Layer List Widget. Changing Line Width/Color/Polygon Fills would assist our users with color vision deficiency. It would also help reduce cost in printing, as Black and White prints would become much more feasible.

Ideally this preference would be set in the cache. The framework is already in place; Some settings are already cached, like extent and layer visibility.

This ability already exists in the Query Widget, which is wonderful. Maybe it could be extended to the Layer List widget. See Idea: https://geonet.esri.com/ideas/12640-allow-user-to-modify-symbology-of-query-widget-results

This is not available at WAB 2.6

I would support to have this to option to switch between unique events, heatmap and clustering. This way, if I want to use , e.g., a filter I do not need to set the filter up three times.

Also not available at 2.7

I would also support to have this option available, this would be very handy to be able to analyse you own data based on attribute data

Why hasn't this been implemented yet!

It's almost 2020. How is this not available yet?

Because ESRI is on the the Next Big Thing

Oh great. Just really got into using WebApp Builder in the past 6 months and have a lot of time into building custom widgets. Hope my code is reusable with this Experience Builder.

FYI - I found out yesterday during an OZRI conference that the widgets in WAB are not directly transferable to Experience Builder, you will have to re-create the widget in EB using your existing code from WAB with some modifications

Thanks Scott. I saw the same after digging. Looks like EB is build on 4.x so WAB wigets would deinately need to be modified. I also read that EB will not obsolete WAB and it will continue to be maintained seperately.
