QuickCapture

Since version: 1.20

Arcade expressions can be written to calculate fields in records captured with ArcGIS QuickCapture. When the user taps a button in the project, a feature is captured and the app subsequently uses the Arcade expression to populate the value of one of the fields. Then the feature is sent to the underlying ArcGIS service. It is best practice to handle casting within the script for full control of casting behavior to Number, Date, or Text return types.
