Feature not being created due to date field type

Aeseir

Very simply I am trying to enrich a feature on creation by adding a createdAt datetime. However when I add this additional attribute, the feature does not get created.

I am learning how to add this attribute so that in future I can filter features by date and/or create heatmaps.

 

Code is very simple:

//feature layer setup
 const featureLayer = new FeatureLayer({
      geometryType: "polygon",
      title: "Test Feature Layer",
      source: [],
      objectIdField: "UniqueId",
      spatialReference: {
        wkid: 102100
      },
      fields: [{
        name: "id",
        alias: "UniqueId",
        type: "guid"
      }, {
        name: "description",
        alias: "Description",
        type: "string"
      }, {
        name: "createdDate",
        alias: "CreatedDate",
        type: "date"
      }],
      outFields: ["*"],
      popupTemplate: popupTemplateDetails,
    });

// adding feature
var polygon = this.addPolygonGraphic({ id: e.id, description: e.description, createdDate: new Date(2019, 4, 25) }, rings);

this.areaFeatureLayer.applyEdits({ addFeatures: polygonFeatures });


function addPolygonGraphic(attributes: { [key: string]: any }, rings: any) {
    var polygon = new Polygon({
      rings: rings,
      spatialReference: {
        wkid: 102100
      }
    });

    var graphic = new Graphic({
      geometry: polygon,
      attributes: attributes
    });
    return graphic;
  }

 

What am I missing here?

I don't know about the Javascript API, but in Arcade (which seems to share a big part of the feature set declaration with the JS API), you have to supply an integer (epoch, number of milliseconds since 1970-01-01) to the date field.

This is how it would look in Arcade:

 

Number(Date(2019, 4, 25))
