pass external variable to a field in popup: (arcgis-js-api)

Question

Here is my code in which I am setting and calling a popup in arcgis-js-api (4.xx) via one rest call... the problem I have an external variable I would like to populate within the field 'place' this external variable doesn't come from the same rest call, I have the value, not sure why it won't accept it in the field?

var place = 'something cool x';
........
   var popuptemp = {
          title: "Shake Intensity",
          content: [{
            type: "fields",
            fieldInfos: [{
                fieldName: "grid_value",
                label: "Grid Value"
              },
              {
                fieldName: "id",
                label: "id"
              },
              {
                fieldName: "place",
                label: "place"
              },
              {
                fieldName: "ObjectID",
                label: "ObjectID"
              },
              {
                fieldName: "url",
                label: "Url"
              }
            ]
          }]
        }

        fl = new FeatureLayer({
          source: gras,
          objectIdField: "ObjectID",
          geometryType: "polygon",
          fields: [{
            name: "ObjectID",
            alias: "ObjectID",
            type: "oid"
          }, {
            name: "id",
            alias: "id",
            type: "string"
          }, {
            name: place <--------------------- tried just calling the var here with no avail, no errors, just nothing displays
            alias: "place",
            type: "string"
          }, {
            name: "url",
            alias: "url",
            type: "string"
          }, {
            name: "grid_value",
            alias: "grid_value",
            type: "double"
          }],
          renderer: renderer,
          popupEnabled: true,
          popupTemplate: popuptemp
        });

        map.add(fl);

You will not be able to add external data like a field. But you could use a function to define the content. Take a look at this example that I made for you, in there author is the global value.

<html>

<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no">
  <title>ArcGIS API for JavaScript Hello World App</title>
  <style>
    html,
    body,
    #viewDiv {
      padding: 0;
      margin: 0;
      height: 100%;
      width: 100%;
    }
    .disclaimer {
      font-size: 14px;
      font-style: italic;
      color: white;
      background-color: black;
    }
  </style>

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://js.arcgis.com/4.15/esri/css/main.css">
  <script src="https://js.arcgis.com/4.15/"></script>

  <script>
    require([
      'esri/Map',
      'esri/views/MapView',
      'esri/layers/FeatureLayer'
    ], function (Map, MapView, FeatureLayer) {

      let author = 'by @cabesuon';

      const map = new Map({
        basemap: 'streets-navigation-vector'
      });

      const view = new MapView({
        container: 'viewDiv',
        map: map,
        zoom: 12,

          latitude: 32.7353,
          longitude: -117.1490

      });

      function toGraphic(lon, lat, ObjectID, title, addrs, url) {
        return {
          geometry: {
            type: 'point',
            longitude: lon,
            latitude: lat
          },
          attributes: {

Hey there, thanks for this; so could I define two 'content:' fields? I want to continue to add the fields which I had already working, but just add one custom item from a different rest call? do I simply add another content property i.e. 'content: customFunction,' under the content: with my fields?

Lieutenant Dan Over a year ago

or I have to redefine the whole things feeding the other standard fields into the next context as well?

Lieutenant Dan Over a year ago

anyway to pass it in without redefining the whole thing for others as well?

What is not working in the pen? ... Which variable are you trying to show that it doesn't?

Lieutenant Dan Over a year ago

Hey, I got that part - onto a new challege now; I am trying to write innerHTML inside the popup template title
