I have been working on a few custom widgets for the Web App Builder, but I would like some input as to what widget/functionality people are wanting most.

The WAB has several great OTB widgets but what (realistic) widgets are missing and would be (in your opinion) great to have?

Huge huge fan of this.  Doesn't have to be an identify though but on any popup box of a point.

I have added right click functionality to the out of the box widget. I have to give credit to David Spriggs as he has this functionality in his configurable viewer.  I used this to update the directions widget for the web app builder.  One thing to mention is the Directions pane has to be active to get the right click functionality.  May be close to what you are looking for.  Replace the Widget.html and the Widget.js in your directions widget folder with these.  Make sure you clear your cache to see the updates.

Robert,

I'll put my vote in for an Elevation Profile widget like the one available for Flex.

We need an IDENTIFY tool, please.  It is one of the most basic tools that defines a GIS.  Users want to know the attributes associated with the geospatial features.

I very strongly agree with Joe about the dire need for an Identify Widget.  Without one, WAB is completely useless for my needs.  All other widgets are secondary IMO.  Other than the (current) lack of an ID widget, out-of-the-box WAB capability is quite good (including TOC/layer switching, bookmarks, measure, draw, legend, attribute widget, and more).

I already was wondering about an ID widget in WAB:

Will there be an Identify Widget for WAB

Since Robert has invited a widget wishlist, I am dreaming about a tool/option for a WAB ID widget that would import custom Flex ID widget XML!    My Flex ID widget XML is 1554 lines long!
