Hi,

It would be useful if you could configure the query widget to allow end users to create their own custom queries. Similar to the way you can set this up for the filter widget. I'd like the option to have the expression builder interface displayed by default.

Thanks

Yes, absolutely would like to see this!  Even after creating videos and help docs, the Filter is too hidden away for many users to find or remember how to get to. And easy to forget to turn off. (no badge indicator in LayerList or Att. Table that it's on still) The Query Widget is more 'visible' and intuitive and this would be great to see.  This would open up a lot of possibilities if users could create their own Queries. Especially if we let users use their own SQL for advanced users that know how. It already shows SQL now it just needs to let users create their own query by GUI like Filter or manually with SQL. Jianxia Song

I completely agree with this.  I have one web map with nearly 10 query expressions for a single layer because my users want to slice the data in multiple ways.  It would make the map much easier for them to use, and much easier for me to maintain, if users could build their own query expressions.
