Is it possible to print customTextElement in ArcGIS API for JavaScript?

Last Published: September 1, 2021

Answer

It is possible to print customTextElement by using the PrintTemplate() method in ArcGIS API for JavaScript. The customTextElement parameter is an array of name-value pairs required if a user wants to update text of a TextElement, which is not a DynamicText on the page layout. The values of customTextElement must be of type string.

The following code snippet describes how to print customTextElement using JavaScript:

var plate = new PrintTemplate();

 plate.layout = plate.label = ch;
 plate.format = "PDF";
 plate.layoutOptions = {
 "authorText": "Made by: Esri's JS API Team",
 "copyrightText": "<copyright info here>",
 "legendLayers": [],
 "titleText": "Pool Permits",
 "scalebarUnit": "Miles",
 "customTextElement": [{"<textElementName1>" : "<value1>"}]
 };
