Hi @OwenGeo Any news on tables? Is it still planned for the first half of 2022?

Unfortunatley layer grouping probably never will be possible in WAB. You can't publish a hosted feature layer, and layer grouping is not supported by the old web maps based on ArcGIS API for JavaScript v 3.x You have to use the new web maps based on v 4.x of the API, and use those maps in Experience builder. I believe ESRI consider this solved even though Experience builder still lacks o lot of functionalty that WAB has, and just don't care about all of us who therefore has to stick to WAB.

Hi, Maybe one of theese two widgets would work for you? https://community.esri.com/t5/web-appbuilder-custom-widgets-documents/traverse-widget-2-5-11-14-2017/ta-p/905069 https://community.esri.com/t5/web-appbuilder-custom-widgets-documents/measure-widget-2-15-for-web-app-builder/ta-p/906397

It works for me now, thanks for quickly deploying this fix!

I hope you guys find a solution soon @OwenGeo and I'm glad to hear it's high priority. Here's links to a few of my stories that have this issue and are public. https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/c70b5b510fb04261906912e4b31b024a https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/ac0cd9dddf1242bbbd65c0518a5e071d https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/90c7647fcf8f433cb5c325fb1001289c

I also have this problem. Even before this, my stories became slower and slower to edit as they grew, but lately it has been much worse.

Maybe this is a whole different idea, but if the technical challenges are mostly related to the "connection" between the story map action and the actual feature in the data source. Another route would be to be able to add a simple sketch layer to the map from a map action. Then you could point out you feature with an arrow, ring och something and maybe even add explaning lables. Of course that solutions has it's downsides but it could also be useful for a lot of other stuff, but I don't know, it might come with other even more challenging technical issues 🙂

When first reading this, I just thougt that the sketch tool already exists in the web map. But the I looked in to it and realized that the sketch tool in the express map is more advanced/flexible than the sketch tool in the new map viewer. That's really wierd since express maps is supposed to be very simple, I think it is a matter of course that the sketch tool in the map viewer should have at least the same functionality as the sketch tool in the express map.

When configuring a web map in Story Maps (or creating map actions), map image layers are treated as one single layer when setting the visibility as layers. I'm using map image layer a lot in my web maps for several reasons and it's annoying to not be able to toggle visibility of all my layers individually. What I do now is to create several copies of the web maps with different visibility settings for the map image layers, or adding several copies of the map image layer with different visibility settings in the same web map. The latter workaround could be used with map actions while the former cannot. But the latter workaround is cumbersome as the map layers need to be configured several times.

Thanks for the workaround tip Aaron (and Owen). This can be useful for a few features, but say you have 20+ features you want to describe and highlight with map actions then it's too much work... So I'm hoping the technical challenges are solved soon and we'll see a built-in highlight option in a future release.

‎02-22-2022

I've been working on some map actions lately and I feel they're too limited. I would like to be able to not just zoom to a specific feature, but also highlight is some how. By make it selected or set a custom symbol or something else to make it stand out more. If I describe several near by features in my story and want the user to be able to identify the corresponding feature in the map, I need some kind of highlighting function.

‎02-22-2022

@OwenGeo-- I did some more testing and this is a story map with my test: Test bullet lists (arcgis.com) I'm usually pasting text from a word document and then it wasn't as easy as just hitting ENTER twice to create new blocks to make it seperate list. But if I copy one item at a time I can achieve this with new blocks for each item. But then I do end up with not one list, but many list with one item each and it looks visually good, but my concern is that this solution is inappropriate from an accessibility point of view.

‎02-22-2022

@OwenGeo I agree that for most list with just one line, you often don't want that extra space. But in cases with long multiline lists as in this case it would be great if I could add the extra space/line with shift+Enter. And of course we want the edit mode to look as much like the result as possible, so however blank shift+Enter lines is handled it should be the same in edit mode as in viewing mode.

‎02-21-2022

I would like this, and it seems logic to set a property in the theme. But I would like to be able to use "compact lists" as the first tree in the example above together with lists with more space as the last ones in the same story map. I thought the introduction of "single-spaced text using Shift+Enter" in the january release maybe could solve this by allowing a shift+enter linebreak within lists. It looks like it works that way in the edit-mode, but when publishing thoose spaces disapears. @OwenGeodo you think it would be possible to allow theese shift+enter linebreaks between bullets? as well as changing default spacing in the theme?

The text on that button is translated based on your browsers laguage, for me it's in swedish for example. But you can force the site to use some other language by inlcuding an URL parameter for that. For french just add ?locale=fr to the URL.
