Additional Information

The behavior is a known limitation where the Dashboard Data profile does not provide any profile variables such as $map, $feature, and others. The script must utilize the FeatureSetbyPortalID function instead, which will allow the use of the $feature profile variable. For more information, refer to https://developers.arcgis.com/arcade/profiles/dashboard-data/#profile-variables.

Workaround

  • Use Map Viewer to edit the records.
  • Use the FeatureSetByPortalItem function instead of the FeatureSetByName function.
