Search by Custom Attribute Expressions in WAB Developer.

[Anonymous User]

I have created a map in AGOL and have included a custom attribute expression using Arcade. I have then imported this map into WebAppBuilder Developer Edition. I would now like to be able to use the Search Widget to search by this custom attribute expression, but the field is not visible to search by when configuring the Search Widget..

The custom attribute expression is visible in the popup through WebAppBuilder Developer Edition and in the attribute table but that is about it. I'm thinking that maybe it just isn't possible to use custom attribute expression fields when configuring widgets in WebAppBuilder? But maybe there is a workaround? 

Thanks in advance!

Hi Siona:  I have the same exact question.  I noticed that no one replied to you r question.  Have you found a workaround?  This seems so basic.  I hope we can find a way to do this.
