Custom Widget Adds Layer But are not selectable on map

Question

Hi all,

I'm very new to experience builder. I've created a custom widget that when the user presses a button, adds a layer hosted on my ArcGIS Online. However, after adding the layer, despite being able to see it displayed on the map, I am unable to select / edit it using the select / editor tools. Is there some specific property I need to enable when I add the layer to enable selection / editing?

I can't add the layer in as a datasource on the map beforehand, since I plan on adding functionality to create and add custom layers based on user input.

Hi Jeffrey, thank you so much! This repo has a lot of valuable examples. I realized that the issue was that while I was creating a data source, I was adding the layers to my map via: jmv.view.add(layer). When I added the layer via jmv.addLayerAndCreateJimuLayerView(layer, datasource), I was able to select and edit.

Thank you for providing your add/remove layer tool - I was only able to notice this after looking through your code.
