Each pro project might use a lot of little python, javascript, vb script...etc snippets. Just provide a folder in the project catelog so that we can easily find and organize these snippets. Bonus if the scripts are editable in a syntax highlighted text editor ... View more

The api seems to be missing a default behavior for popups. By default, I think it would be very convenient for all popup templates on features layers to have a default fieldInfos. This would be similar to the behavior in desktop apps like Pro, where you click on a feature, and it automatically shows you the table of fields that are visible. No config necessary.  ... View more

I'm confused on how I can use dynamic layers in the 4.4 api. I have a group of layers published from arcmap like this: By default, all of the group layers are off, some of the child layers are on, and nothing is visible until the user toggles a group layer on. (this is how it works in 3.x). In 4.4, I set up some layer like this:  {                 id: 'assets',                 url: `${url}/internal/assets/MapServer`,                 // sublayers: [{                 //     id: 12,                 //     visible: true                 // }, {                 //     id: 13,                 //     visible: true                 // }],                 popupTemplate: {                     title: 'cid: {cid}'                 }             }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ When the map loads, all of the child layers that are visible are displayed. The map looks crazy busy.  So just to test what happens I uncomment the above code to show only sublayer 12.  This works, only sublayer 12 is shown: Now if I uncomment both sublayers 12 and 13 from the block above, it stops working. I get no image from the server. I checked the network logs. In the version with no sublayers, the network image request looks like this: layers:show:43,44,51,50,36,37,38,1,2,3,53,54,6,8,9,10,55,13,14,15,16,17,22,58,59,25,30,31,32,33‍ With one sublayer: layers:show:12‍ With two sublayers:  dynamicLayers:[{"id":13,"source":{"mapLayerId":13,"type":"mapLayer"}},{"id":12,"source":{"mapLayerId":12,"type":"mapLayer"}}]‍ My questions are:  Why does providing no sublayers display the layer incorrectly (ie ignoring group layer visibility)? Why do the parameters change from layers to dynamicLayers when switching from one sublayer to two sublayers? - a similar problem is observed here: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/zdpGLL?&editors=100 ...

One thing I've missed in ArcGIS Desktop is the ability to quickly create custom layouts using dynamic text that can display feature information. Use cases would be primarily in Map Series (pro's data driven pages equivolent) but would also apply to static layouts in some cases as a quick way to create automatically generated text blocks from feature layers.   Example: Map Series Show text blocks for each feature in the current extent:     Possible Dynamic text code: <dyn type="iterator" layer="Properties"> ID: <dyn type="field" property="id" /> Address: <dyn type="field" property="street_num" /> <dyn type="field" property="street_name" /> Dept: <dyn type="field" property="department" /> </dyn>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍   In this hypothetical example, the important part is the `dyn type="iterator"` The block of text inside here would be repeated for each feature visible in the current extent. I know this functionality is possible using a custom python arcpy.mp script but this method would integrate with existing tools to allow the data and the framework to do the work. I wouldn't have to re-run a script if the data changes, all we need to do is re-export the map series and the layout would be updated.   This could also apply to static layouts, for instance if we just quickly want to build a list of features like the one above, a simple block of xml is all we would need to insert. The Insert Dynamic Text dropdown could insert a quick snippet with the required text block for easy modification. ... View more
