Add Feature Failed

Question

Hi, I'm having an issue with my web map. I have the editing feature enabled, but when I try to add a point to the map, it says "Add feature failed". However I am able to edit existing points successfully. I have another layer that I've used with testing and that one works fine. The only difference I can think of between that one and this one is that that I have this new one move the edits to base when I registered it as versioned. So that way the edits show up in SQL Server. Could that cause this issue?

Thanks.

**UPDATE**
I tried unregistering it as versioned and registering as versioned again without checking the box to move edits to base, and that did not help. I'm relieved actually, I kind of need to be able to view the changed in SQL Server. Any thoughts are appreciated.

I did have a thought however. I have some of the fields not allow null values with no default value. Could this be the issue?

There are a few things that can lead to this problem. The shape field needs to be visible, the objectID field also needs to be visible, and there are some issues with having z values in the data. To fix I made sure that shape and objectID fields were visible and recreated my feature class to not have z values. This was done using flex 2.4 and ArcGIS server 10.0. Not sure if the same rules would still apply with 10.1.

is your 'shape' field visible in your layer?  I think ArcGIS Server needs to be able to see this field for editing to be successful.

I am having a similar issue. I am unable to edit a feature in the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex. I get the same error "Add Feature Failed". I checked and the 'shape' field is visible. Any thoughts?

Hi,
@philipp37 thanks for reply.
I solved the problem. That was my mistake. I mixed the layer sources (test and production servers).
Thanks,
