Hi Todd, As with most things ESRI, you tend to get most of the way there before stepping on a rake & get hit in the face. Your suggestion seems straightforward enough but it's not working either. I've designed the filter SQL query in the exact same way as what I've done with the Query widget but at runtime, there are no values to select in the pulldown. Query widget SQL design: Query widget runtime: Meanwhile, filter widget SQL design: and filter widget at runtime:

Apologize in advance for necro-replying to a topic but I'm currently dealing with this. You asked why not use the query output view and here's why I don't like/want to do this: I have the query widget hitting a feature class with 2 related tables. I have to keep drilling down by tapping the 4 dots to access the options pane and then select related records. This is a far more confusing UI than if the query widget would filter the table widget after selecting records. If it did that, in my example each table is its own tab which the user can quickly cycle through and then export the records via the 4 dot pane located on each tab. *That's* what I want to do but it does not do. You can select View in Table of Add to Table but the user has to select that option. IMO, the action should AUTOMATICALLY do this, if specified.

Thanks Jon for highlighting that Instant App as I wasn't familiar with it. I neglected to mention that I'm attempting all this inside Portal version 11.5. The Manager Instant App is available to me but, right now, I'm just getting a spinning circle when I launch the app. Clearly I'm doing something wrong so I need to read up on it. Only thing I don't like is it being map based. My S123 use isn't map dependent.

I'm probably dense because I just find EB workflows too confusing but I'm having difficulty getting an action to do what I want. Backstory- I'm developing a very simple EB based front end to allow my users to export S123 records to CSV. The S123 has a feature class with 2 related tables (there are 2 repeat sections in the survey). The EB project only has a Query widget and then a Table widget below it. The Query widget is associated with the S123 web map that contains the feature class and the Table widget also points to the same S123 feature class & related tables. Desired Workflow- Ideally, my users would select the desired records using the Query widget and then the Query widget would then select the same records in the Table widget using the Query Widget's Action. But it's not happening even if the Action pane infers that it *should* happen- I've tried developing this initially without a Map widget and now with a map widget (hidden behind the table widget since it's not needed visually) and I can't get the Query widget to auto update / filter the table widget contents. Before anyone asks, I know you can export records through the Query widget but I don't like how the actual export tool is buried in the interface, especially for the 2 related tables. At least with the Table widget, the user can just switch tabs and the export button is there.,

I don't know if I'm misinterpreting your question but this thread discusses deriving the M value using Arcade. This does work as I'm now using it in a map for my users to click on a road to determine the roadlog milepost location. Outside of this, you need to shell out some $$$ for ESRI's Roads and Highways product which introduces click for M value and zoom to M value functionality which has not made it into their standard web map products to date. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/get-route-m-value-at-point-clicked-using-arcade/m-p/542031/highlight/true#M23831

Yeah, as Tim links, it's pretty easy. Just copy the second URL I posted (the one that ends with a zero) and then in your map viewer, click the plus symbol in the upper left and select "Add Layer from URL" and paste in the URL you copied. That will then add it to your map and you can adjust symbology and popups as you see fit.

The state of MA does have a wards layer published so you could swap out the broken layer for this one- https://gis.data.mass.gov/maps/aec5130790814ace94438d3bcf23cf9a/explore Direct REST link: https://arcgisserver.digital.mass.gov/arcgisserver/rest/services/AGOL/WardsPrecincts2022/MapServer/0

At the UC in the Web Apps Road Ahead session, it was mentioned that there was a new community page for the Map Viewer. I assumed that it was already established but I guess it's still coming? Any time estimates for it appearing? I wanted to submit an Idea for it but wanted to do so *in* the community ideas section. Thanks!

Yeah, what I really like about Doug's approach is that it's just so much cleaner. You don't have to juggle the visibility of 3 group options and people can just type what they know and it should suggest it.

Doug, I marked your answer as the solution. While it's not exactly what I was looking for, I think this approach can work and since I have to export the S123 information and import it into Access, I can use the Split function to just break up the answer into its respective parts when I import it into Access. I follow up with a PM. Curious if you've tackled a particular need with your forms. Thanks guys!

Developing a form for field staff to go out and do plant surveys. Some staff are comfortable specifying a plant code, but others are more comfortable with common or scientific names. I've developed the UI to have a 3 option choice (Code/Scientific/Common Name) and then based on that choice a group appears where there is a pulldown for the user to type what they're looking for and then a PullData in the Calculation column then autopopulates the other two fields. All of this works just fine but there could be situations that a user may need to switch options, because they don't know the plant code or whatever. That could result in data loss so I have created three hidden fields which I'd like to populate with the relevant information as a "final" resting place for that information. So, is there a way to populate the UI as I am currently doing *AND* populate the hidden fields at the same time? The UI: The XLSForm: Thanks! Steve

I won't defend ESRI's decision making because I agree so I'll just link you to the NPS' symbology style that they have made available for download through AGOL.

Or just just copy/paste? Select 3 polygons. Ctrl-C or Copy on the Ribbon, then "Paste Special" and select the feature class to paste the features into. I hate that Pro is so reliant on the Toolbox..

Like Jon says, that is embedded functionality so there's no user setting to remove it. One alternative would be to use one of the Instant App templates which load popup content into a side column adjacent to the map rather than as a popup in the map.

I don't know if this comment was directed at me as well but I will just say that I have not pursued this further either. In my situation, I quickly discovered that reports in ArcGIS Pro only support a small portion of chart types and I simply cannot replicate what my JS API application produces based on the current ArcGIS Pro functionality. Given their product update cycles and timeframes, I have no hope that ESRI will ever update their product sufficiently before my eventual retirement so I'm just not going to bother with it. And, honestly, Experience Builder has been around long enough that I believe even ESRI might have to start thinking about its replacement so those deficiencies that still exist may never see the light of day in EB.

My Ideas
