Change multiple values in a field of a pop-up using Arcade in ArcGIS Online

Summary

Custom expressions written in Arcade can be used to configure pop-ups in ArcGIS Online. These expressions can be used to generate new data with reference to a field with multiple values in a layer's existing fields.

This article provides the steps to change numerous values in a field of a pop-up via ArcGIS Online Map Viewer.

if (Count(Split($feature.<fieldName>, ', ')) > 0) {
    for (var i in Split($feature.<fieldName>, ", ")) {
        <variableName3>[<variableName2>] = <variableName1>[Split($feature.<fieldName>, ', ')[i]];
        <variableName2>++;
    }
