Save edits for a single feature class in an Edit Operation with edits in multiple feature classes

KarenMeinstein

Let's say I have an edit operation going and there are edits in multiple features classes, but I only want to save the edits in one of the feature classes.  Is there a way to do this?  Project.Current.SaveEditsAsync() saves the edits to all of the feature classes, which I don't want to do.

Hi KarenMeinstein,

If you are using Edit Operations on Pro SDK, you can use the Execute() method to save edits.

Sample Code:

 

   var polyLayer = MapView.Active.Map.GetLayersAsFlattenedList().First((l) => l.Name == "Polygons") 
      as FeatureLayer;
   var polygon = .... ;  //New polygon to use

   //Define some default attribute values
   Dictionary<string,object> attributes = new Dictionary<string, object>();

   attributes["SHAPE"] = polygon;//Geometry

   attributes["Name"] = string.Format("Poly {0}", ++count);
   attributes["Notes"] = string.Format("Notes {0}", count);

   //Create the new feature
   var op = new EditOperation();
   op.Name = string.Format("Create {0}", polys.Name);
   op.Create(polyLayer, attributes);
   if (!op.IsEmpty)
   {
     var result = await op.ExecuteAsync();
     if (!result) //Can also use if (!op.IsSucceeded)
      //TODO: get the op.ErrorMessage, inform the user
   }

You can also use inspector class if you are editing attributes of selected features.

To get more familiar with how editing works in Pro SDK, you can read some text here: https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-pro-sdk/wiki/ProConcepts-Editing

You can also look at some code snippets of the editing functionality here.
