Can I add a feature action to a context menu to clear all results?

Hello, 

Is it possible to add a "remove results" feature action to the context menu on the map? I want to add a right click option to remove all results highlighted. I tried to add a custom command to the context menu with the code copied from the remove results, but it did not work.

Basically I want to be able to remove all the blue highlights that you get from tools, and selections all at once without closing my tools that I have created for selecting something (in this case parcels).

Not sure if I am making sense. In the screen shot below I want the right click menu to be able to clear tall he highlights from the results panel.

Thanks

Larisa

  It is, but it looks like you are using an item picker from workflow to show results. results.clear/remove from web cmds only works on Web's results list/table.
  
  I tend to avoid item pickers and showing results through them.  Your best bet is to send your parcel results to web's results list/table.

  Thank you Andrew.

  I appreciate you responding to this. Unfortunately that is they way we have to use this. I can't change the item picker.

  Do you know if this can still be done with this in mind?? or how to do it? I can't seem to make anything work

  thanks

  Ehh i think the item picker has its own logic to handle highlighting and I'm not sure if we have access to disabling the highlighting from that.  What about using a listbox? Not 100% sure if that has auto highlighting when geometry is provided.
  
  Easy way would be to remove geometry from your features that get appended to the item picker - item picker has nothing to highlight since geo is missing but then you loose the ability to zoom/pan/change extent with any of those features.
  
  Maybe not the best solution and a little more complex but you could store 2 copies of the selected parcels:
   - featureSetParcelsNoGeo: Remove geo, use these to append to item picker
   - featureSetParcels: Same as 1, but has geometry.
  
  On item picker change, you could create a value where you filter the selected feature(s) from the item picker back to featureSetParcels. If you allow multiple selects in the itempicker, you'd have to do this in a for each, but assuming only 1 selection:
  
  Activity - Get Form Event Data
  Name: getFormEventData1
  
  Activity - Create Value
  Name: selectedParcel
  Value: $featureSetParcels.featureSet.features.filter(ms => ms.attributes.FIELDTOJOIN === $getFormEventData1.value.items[0].data.attributes.FIELDTOJOIN)[0]
  
  Check if selectedParcel is not undefined, if its not, you found the selected parcel and now have the geometry for the selection.  From there you could store for later use or use to zoom/query/graphics/append to another featureSet/etc

  Larisa Johnstone ... I'd start by trying these existing tools. One of them, or a combination of them, should be able to clear the stuff you are trying to clear. 

  Clear Drawings

  [
      "map.clear-markup"
  ]

  Clear all Highlighting

  [
      "highlights.clear"
  ]

  Clear all focused items

  [
     "highlights.clear-focus"
  ]

  Clear active set of results

  [
     "results.clear"
  ]

  Thank you very much for getting back to me! You have given me a lot to think about and work with. I appreciate your time. I could not have come this far if it were not from help from people like you.  These are the answers I need! I will let you know how this all plays out. 

  Thanks
