That's what I thought. Going that route really isn't a good option for me at this time. Perhaps Esri should consider bringing you on as a consultant. I know you did great work with Flexviewer and with WAB and I'm sure this one is just as good. On another note, I am thinking of going ahead and deploying my EB map and just not discontinuing the WAB until I am absolutely satisfied with the new widgets. Once that happens I can phase out my support of our WAB apps.

I'm not using Developer Edition though. Is it possible to use custom widgets in the ArcGIS Online version?

Josh, I appreciate that response. I didn't realize that a trigger had to be set in this case. The terminology used is not very intuitive. Even after finding the help, I still just guessed which trigger was the best and "record selection changes" is what I landed on. I'll keep working on this map and see if I can get it to do what I want. I actually have used EB for some other apps but this particular one just has extra requirements. To be honest, my post was more venting than anything because I feel that Esri is not as responsive to user requests as they used to be.

I am really struggling here. I am a Web App Builder hold out because the Experience Builder still lacks the functionality that I need. I need a search widget that gives me more options on what to do. The current search widget gives me a result but doesn't actually do anything, it won't pan to the result. It does add something to the url which when submitted will redirect. That is certainly less than ideal. There is also still no way to print a map which my users still want. I would love to be able to move to EB because I really need the grouping functionality that WAB does not offer, but I cannot make the move without these widgets. Its been several years now since the EB was developed and widgets are always promised. What ends up happening is these advanced widgets end up getting updated like Elevation Profile, Suitability Modeler which are great features if you need them but still not very helpful if the basic widgets are not working. Why are features like WAB that actually work not getting updated instead of developing new features like EB?

I would only need those after a certain date. As long as they satisfy that, then they should be symbolized. So, after reading through some of the ideas on the StackExchange thread I came up with a definition query. What's nice about that is I can either turn the query on or off as needed or can even simply have it as a separate layer just depending on how I need to display it. Thanks to all for helping me think this through. Symbolizing by date is still one of a my biggest wants from Esri and they don't seem to be moving anywhere with it.

I'm not sure if this is the best place for this but not sure where else to ask. I am working on my future land use map and I'd love to be able to quickly show where I have made changes. Is there a way to symbolize features that have changed differently? I have editor tracking enabled but as I've noticed before there is no way to symbolize features by date in ArcGIS Pro. For now I've been simply adding notes to each feature that I change in a new NOTES field and can select by edited date at the end of the project and do it that way but it's not exactly what I'm looking for. I'm open to any ideas.

Thanks Tom. I didn't think to activate the map frame in layout view. It is odd to me that the layer in map view doesn't come forward to the layout view. This is the case with virtually every other thing set in the map view. Typically the only thing I change in the layout view is the extent of the map in layout view. I'll have to remember this. Clearly there is still something a bit odd about my layer but this is an acceptable workaround.

I have a layer that was created in SDE and served up as a Hosted Feature Layer. It was time aware when I did it. Now the layer appears to be locked in a certain time frame. Even though I have certain features that have been added they don't display properly in layout view. I attached a screenshot. I am able to change the display and slider in map view including in the time menu at the top ribbon. I am not however able to change the time extent in Layer properties. In layout view the ribbon settings do not carry forward and the map seems to default to the layer properties adjusted time extent. Does anyone know how to overcome this? I'm guessing it has something to do with how the hosted feature layer was created. The layer does appear to display correctly in ArcGIS Online.

Could not agree with you more. However, in the time since you posted this, ArcGIS Pro has improved greatly.

This is absolutely insane. Labels are fine in the Android and IOS but not in the Windows version? This is a basic requirement. Why even offer the Collector app for Windows if basic labeling isn't even an option.
