Unable to calculate field values of selected features in ArcGIS Online

Description

Field calculations in ArcGIS Online allow the altering of fields in the attribute table of a hosted feature layer based on the calculation expression defined. However, after selecting the features of a layer and running field calculations, the attributes of all the features are calculated.

Cause

This is a known limitation. Field calculations alter the values of every row for a selected single column (field) in the attribute table of a layer. For more information, refer to BUG-000117674.
