AttributeInspector requires a FeatureLayer when using graphics?

Question

I'm attempting to create a feature where a user is able to come in and create graphics to mark out excavation areas. The existing layers are all Dynamic layers. Through my research with the AttributeInspector (AI) it looks like it requires a FeatureLayer, which is a child of the Graphics layer. Is there a way to use the AttributeInspector without having to add a FeatureLayer? And if a FeatureLayer is required, can one create an "empty" layer just to satisfy the constraints of the AI? I've attached a sample file of how I'm currently attempting to achieve this and obviously it doesn't work at the moment. Any insight someone might have would be greatly appreciated. I've also included the code in the post for easy reference. [HTML] Maps Toolbar

You could create a feature collection based feature layer and use that with the AttributeInspector widget. Here's an example: Validate Attributes

Came up with a workaround to my issue. Instead of attempting to modify attributes of the Graphic with the AttributeInspector, I created my own form that allowed me to specifically designate the attributes to modify and then save/update accordingly. I would still be interested in finding a way through this problem, but it is no longer a stumbling block in my development.
