EditTool Autopopulate Fields

Question

Hi,

Is there a way to autopopulate fields in the attribute editor when creating and editing features? e.g. inserting the current date into a date field.

Cheers,

Shannaka

For anyone using the method above, you will need to add the following code to update the layer:var updates:Array = [ feature ];
event.featureLayer.applyEdits(null, updates, null);

I found that I could autopopulate fields in the Attribute Inspector of the Edit widget using

private function featureLayer_selectionComplete(event:FeatureLayerEvent):void

This works for both adding new features and editing existing features.

I hope there is someone who will correct me, but everyone that I have talked to has said that you have to use code to autopopulate the Date field in FlexViewer. I don't have the experience to help you write the code but possibly someone else who reads this can.
