In Web App Builder, it is frustrating the Group Filter widget does not have the same expression capabilities as the Filter widget. Please make the same or at least support the same capabilities.  The filter widget operators appears to be context specific to field data types where as the Group Filter seems to be applying a generic set of operators.  For example for dates there is no "is between" expression in Group Filter which exists in Filter. So if there are a number of layers which need to be filtered by a date range & unique value it is impossible unless you add multiple Filter widget which confused the end-user and results in a bad user experience. Other examples for string fields include "is blank" or "is not blank"  ' Thanks for this consideration ... View more

It would be really helpful if the overview tab or alternative tab could be customized for each dataset. Ideally everything has a default view but many datasets such as tables and specific spatial datasets could really benefit by charts or embedded web maps residing on the landing page of the dataset.  Open data serves many different user communities and for the executive or average citizen user populations they do not want or care about much on the overview or data page. They want to see a visualization immediately so they can gain information about the dataset and how it relates to them. I see a number of agencies using ESRI Open Data for spatial and other solutions for tabular. Maybe supporting custom visualizations natively in the overview or another "tab" as the default view could solve this problem for many.  ... View more

Using the arcgis python API, is it possible to restrict search results to exact matches by title? My query is title:City_Boundaries and owner:username and the search is returning other "City_Boundary" matches and would like to restrict to exact matches. I reviewed this search documentation and could not find anything related to exact matches ArcGIS REST API  ... View more

In Pro 2.0 it does not appear it is possible to create a new map within the project. Please consider adding a method to the ArcGISProject object with the ability to create a new map with a name from arcpy. Alternatively a copy map method on the existing Map object would be a workable alternative  You can copy/paste maps manually in a project so this functionality seems like a necessary addition for additional project automation.  ...

Hosted Feature Services in Portal/AGOL seem to create feature records without respecting the data model behind the feature class. Please fix this functionality so the platform does not commit a database record unless all constraints are dealt with by the user. At this time both Portal and AGOL platform's allow the creation of feature records when NOT NULL constraints exist. This defeats the purpose of data integrity and the very reason we want to set NOT NULL constraints. Feature Class definition - prior to publish Hosted Feature Layer The current experience is ArcGIS Online will prompt the user for fields which are NOT NULL with an exclamation icon indicating the value is required, however the user can just close the window and the record is saved. The result is a "space" is saved in the NOT NULL field. This goes around the entire data model and is not desirable as it leads to messy data collections and allowing users to by pass required fields. Granted they could type a space in as well but the platform should not do this by default. The experience is the same in Portal 10.5 except it does not show the exclamation point to the user in the fields window. Tracing the activity in Portal shows the record is actually created in the database once geometry is defined (applyEdits) and then an edit window pops up for the end user which then passes another applyEdits. Querying the hosted feature service rest end point shows the records are being created with spaces in the NOT NULL fields even if the user does not interact with the feature.  Please fix this so no records are saved in the database unless a user has completed entering values, do not bypass NOT NULL fields with automatic space values which by passes the feature class field constraints.  ...
