Thanks for the response, John. I see in reading your original answer more carefully that you had specified the collection of continuous points. As you note, it doesn't make any sense to have that variable for a line/polygon. I will mull things over as I start testing and let you know if I have any questions. Another option for my use case is simply to collect points at the surface change locations and manipulate my existing lines (generally from aerial photos) instead of trying to collect centerlines at the same time. ...

Hi JHasthorpe-esristaff I'm interested in the Direction of Travel variable you reference. In the documentation, I only see direction of travel as a variable for point features. The only ones listed for lines and polygons are  Variable Description Compatible field type username Currently signed in user name. Text positionSourceType Category of the position source. Potential results are Unknown (0), User (1), System Location (2), External Device(3), and Network Device (4). Integer startTime Date and time the button is activated. Date endTime Date and time the button is deactivated. Date Can you confirm that having a field for Direction in a polyline layer will record a direction? It seems like you might have to collect continuous points instead? How would this work? My use case is collecting road centerlines. The driver could be in the right lane fully, or for some of the narrow back roads, actually on the centerline. We would be using QC buttons to distinguish surface types for lines and I was thinking I could specify whether there is an offset. Thanks, Heather ... View more

Chris, can you give an update on radial curve support in the Parcel Drafter? I'm looking at implementing this and I'm not sure I can get what I need without it. Thanks! ... View more

I can confirm that I see the Attribute Transfer tool in the Tools Gallery at 2.4 and you can transfer attributes between feature types. Thank you! ... View more

I think this is a great idea. It has a name that could be used in a dynamic text tag. Please implement. ... View more

That's the error I got when I tried to use a source that was not a hosted feature layer (it was a map image layer published from ArcGIS Server). It doesn't have an object $map because it's not the right kind of source. ... View more

I tried the same thing. It doesn't work with Map Image Layers. I haven't tried it with hosted Enterprise feature layers. ... View more

I was led astray by old documentation, I guess - not the first time. Thanks for the tip! I decided not to do the multiple results for other reasons, but here are my two pop-ups, consisting of two expressions drilling down from one polygon layer to another.   ... View more

Thank you, Xander. I was able to use the negative buffer example you provided in your blog - very helpful! Also, I created an if... else to determine if more than one polygon was intersected and return different expressions. var buff = Buffer($feature,-10,'feet') var intersectsLayer = Intersects(FeatureSetByName($map,"Zoning"),buff) var intcount = Count(intersectsLayer) var expr = '' if(intcount>1) {     expr = 'Multiple regulations apply. Contact appropriate Planning Department.' } else {    for(var f in intersectsLayer){       var zone = f.ZONING       expr = Proper(zone)    } } return expr You could also return multiple values by iterating and adding to the expression before returning it, but the lack of a new line capability in AGOL makes this unworkable for me. ...

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you Kelly Gerrow!‌ ... View more

I am very excited to see this listed:  Attribute expressions now support referencing other layers in your map. When configuring pop-ups for a feature layer in your map, you can create Arcade expressions that reference other feature layers. You can also reference other layers when performing field calculations using Arcade. However, none of the links gives any explanation or examples for doing this. I'd like to reference another layer in a pop-up so that the user doesn't have to find and click the tiny arrow in the pop-up box. I am only an Arcade beginner, so I usually follow examples. I'm not finding anything. Can someone point me in the right direction? ... View more

Very helpful for a total Survey123 beginner. One question: in the above calculation if(selected(${violations},'10'),1,0), where do the values '10','20' etc. come from? Are they the index values for the choices? Are they set somewhere else? Thanks. ETA I found it in another blog post on multiple choice items. They are set in the list choices' "name" column.  ...

@esri Any update on the roadmap for simple linear referencing tools? Also, please upvote this idea I found: Port "Identify Route Locations" and "Set From/To" Linear Referencing Tools from ArcGIS 10.x to ArcGIS Pro  ... View more
