Feature Layer Refresh not working in IE

RaviKonaparthi

Hi All,

When i update any feature the REST endpoint is updated but the featurelayer which is already present on the map is not getting updated. I tried featureLayer.refresh(), but this works fine in firefox but dosen't work in IE. Can anyone help me on some workarounds if any?

Regards,
Ravi.

I'm also seeing the same behavior with updates to Feature Layers hosted in an organizational AGOL account.  When the Feature Layer applyEdits command is updated, the REST endpoint data store is updated, but the Feature Layer on the map does not immediately update its renderer (I'm changing a unique value renderer using a domain list in the attribute inspector).  When I zoom in and zoom out on the map, the renderer and layer DO refresh, but I really don't want to have to refresh all the layers and tiles in the map just to change the renderer and data for a single Feature Layer...

This is all using JSAPI 3.14 (in Web App Builder Developer edition 1.2) and ESRI AGOL hosted Feature Service / Feature Layers.

Would love to know if there is a graceful work-around...

[EDIT]

Turns out the features were being updated, but I needed to call the .refresh() method on the AGOL web map Feature Layer after the deferred object from the .applyEdits method is returned.  The following code worked for my particular situation (updating attributes on a custom generated FeatureLayer but displaying the graphics in the Map from an AGOL web map FeatureLayer with editing turned off):

                          var saveButton = new Button({
                              label: "Save",
                              onClick: function () {
                                 updateFeature.getLayer().applyEdits(null, [updateFeature], null).then(function(){

                                // this block is to check for "duplicate" layers that reference the same URL REST endpoint but use different symbology renderers
                                      dojo.forEach(thisWidget._operationalLayers, function (oLayer) {
                                          if (oLayer.url == webMapGLayer.url) {
                                              queryString = "$.operationalLayers[?id=$1]";
                                              var webMapLayerObject = jsonQuery(queryString, theMap.webMapResponse.itemInfo.itemData, oLayer.id);
                                              webMapLayerObject[0].layerObject.refresh();
                                          }
                                      });
                                  });                                                                                                 }
                          });
                          saveButton.startup();
