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 use is inside Enterprise (we're at 11.5). I had a feeling that your response was going to be the suggestion.

The Web Editor has an address search capability but it defaults to ESRI's address locator. I would like to have the option to specify a custom address locator which would narrow results and be more accurate using my own organizations address locator.

My organization recently updated our Portal version which introduces the Web Editor. Wanted to give that go since I've been using a small JS 4.x API app to do some basic editing for a particular purpose. One thing I don't like is that if I'm sketching a new linear feature and need to pan the map, I have to use the directional pan buttons in the lower corner of the app. In the 4.X API editor widget, you can just right click with the mouse and use the hand tool to drag the map. This is much quicker and more direct than having to click the buttons in the lower corner. It would also be more consistent across ESRI applications.

My opinion is that this is a Survey 123 idea because this gets to a licensing issue with Survey 123 rather than a functionality issue. I don't think ESRI will change it because it will cut into their profit margin. This same basic issue also plagues the feature report functionality in S123 and I think there have been some Ideas regarding that for awhile now. The unpublished public survey is the workaround which works for many applications but obviously not all.

Ultimately we just live in ESRI's world and are subject to their whims so I would not solely rely on ArcGIS Ideas for change. Here is an ESRI post which describes how they want to be informed about accessibility issues.

I've given up on this because there's always some facet of ESRI tech that isn't up to parity and it's usually a crippling factor for what I want to do. From what I recall, you have to create and publish report templates in Pro using the process outlined in this ArcGIS Blog post. Further down in the EB Help for the Near Me Widget you'll see the Print Reports section which links to the above and some other info to cobble it all together.

You said you've already logged it so this is a little moot but someone from ESRI made a post yesterday about How to submit accessibility issues to Esri Technical Support

Assuming your data frame is defined using AR North State Plane, right-click on your layer that originated from the CSV file and choose Data -> Export Data. Choose the "Use the same coordinate system as : THE DATA FRAME" and specify the output location. Add the newly exported layer to your data frame. Open the attribute table and add two new attribute fields for the State Plane X, Y coordinates. Right click on each newly created attribute field and select the Calculate geometry option. For the X coordinate, choose the X coordinate of point option and use the coordinate system of data source. The units should default to feet. Repeat for the Y coordinate using the Y coordinate field you added.

I recall seeing this during some S123 searches. I've marked it as the solution because it looks like the best approach given the current options. Thanks..

Getting my feet wet(ter) with Survey 123 and not quite sure how to implement input validation for a specific section of my form. The form is for field data collection along sampling transects. As you see below, the user specifies the overall length of the transect, and the length of the transect that would be within wetland. Once the wetland length of the transect is known, I use a calculation to subtract the specified wetland length value from the total length value to derive the wetland buffer length. This all works but if I enter a wetland length greater than the total length of the transect, it will calculate a negative number as shown in my screenshot. I've added a constraint on the wetland length input but my understanding is that constraints are actually triggered when attempting to submit the survey rather than as real time data validation. Any suggestions? FWIW, here's my XLSForm:

Yes, that does work. It's not as streamlined as an option while building the map tour but it does work. It's made more complicated because ESRI has multiple versions of its basemaps-. It appears as though the basemap that is used inside the Map Tour Builder is the vector tile version but that is different than the topographic basemap found in the standard Map Viewer. Anyways, for my immediate need, I followed your alternative. I still support my idea, though.

The basemap used during a map tour doesn't change between the overview and a specific stop along the tour (using a custom extent rather than the default view extent). It would be nice to have the option to change the basemap that is in use at any given stop along the map tour. Many ESRI basemaps give a clean look at the full extent of the map tour but lack detail, if a more zoomed in extent is chosen. The ability to swap basemaps to the imagery basemap or one of the others (or custom / organization basemap) would add more context to the user working through the map tour.

My Ideas
