I am able to access and query a DataSource just fine from a custom widget. But I need to insert/update some records programmatically as well. When I try to use ds.updateRecord() I get an error "Editing source is not ready yet". Any ideas how to make it ready? I confirmed the DataSource is coming from the Feature Service and the capabilities say "Query,Create,Update,Uploads,Editing" //Get update data source const ds = DataSourceManager.getInstance().getDataSource(props.useDataSources[1].dataSourceId) as FeatureLayerDataSource //Get record to update ds.query({ where: "UserId='" + props.user.username + "'" }).then((result) => { if (result.records && result.records.length > 0) { //Get record data and change const record = result.records[0] const dat = record.getData() dat.TypeCode = "New Value" //Process update --ERROR HERE: Editing source is not ready yet ds.updateRecord(dat).then((success) => { }) } }) Examples seem to show creating an editor widget. I am just wanting to call the service on the backend and do some edits though. In this case for a non-spatial table even. Worst case I suppose I could use the JS API or call the service endpoint directly, but assuming I am missing something with ExB objects. Thanks for any help! ... View more

I am trying to get the current state of an out of the box widget (filter) but not finding a way to get it. I can easily set the state of that widget with: getAppStore().dispatch(appActions.widgetConfigUpgraded("widget_65", config)). But how can I get the current state from "widget_65" (which is inside a sidebar and navigation section if that matters)? getAppStore().getState().widgetsRuntimeInfo?.["widget_65"]?.state state is never set. The runtime info only has one property for isClassLoaded which is true. getAppStore().getState().widgetsState["widget_65"] widgetsState does not contain the widget, it only has a list and the sidebar. Neither which seem to expose their state either. getAppStore().getState().appConfig.widgets["widget_65"] I can get the state from this, but it is not the current state and is the initially loaded one, which makes sense coming from appConfig. WidgetManager.getInstance() not seeing any option in it to get the state. Can I use getAppStore().subscribe, not seeing how to get the state though. I feel like I am missing something simple, any advice is greatly appreciated!   ... View more

Two questions about setting the time extent in an ExB app using the Timeline widget. 1. I am using the "Customize time settings" in the Timeline widget as it allows nice control over setting the min/max date range based off today (+/- 3 months). But from what I can tell there is no way to initialize the time to today. It always starts at the start time. Am I missing something to set the initial slider time? 2. How I handled this in WAB was in a custom background widget I would just set the initial time to today. Trying the same in ExB while it does set the initial map time, the Timeline widget does not update. Is there a way to get it to refresh to the time extent? Some event I can fire to tell it to update? Is it even using the maps time extent?   //Set initial map date to today var currentDate = new Date(Date.now()); currentDate.setHours(0,0,0,0); map.view.timeExtent = { start: currentDate, end: currentDate } //Timeline does not refresh to show this time and upon opening resets the map's time to it's own.     Thanks for any thoughts! ...

We have a use case where we want to allow users to set geometries on features which are missing them. The records are already existing and can be selected from a table or list view. But from what I can tell the Edit widget can only either insert new records or update existing geometries. Not seeing how to place the geometry for an existing record when it is missing. Hoping maybe I am missing something and if not, maybe someone has ideas for a workaround? Or an easy means to extend the current Edit Widget? Thank you for any thoughts or ideas! ... View more

Years ago we created some widgets and hosted with Portal for ArcGIS 10.6 (not AppBuilder directly). Recently we upgraded Portal to 10.8.1 and thought everything was fine. But just found a temperamental issue with our off-panel widget that is set to open on web app startup from the Anchor Bar. In IE the issue is very noticeable and in Chrome and Edge it is more subtle but still there. Please see the attached screenshots for what the issue looks like. The widget works fine when toggled off and on, or if not set to open on startup. But we want this widget to open on startup as it does a query to set the maps initial time extent. Things tried and didn’t work: Different initial event functions: startup, postCreate, setPosition, onOpen, etc. Making sure map created events trigger first Dynamically injecting the widget’s html at runtime innerHTML html.place Dynamically injecting html after an asynchronous delay causes no visuals to be rendered Striping out CSS and other position related styles Another newer widget also has the same issue when set to open on load, so its newer uses on dojo dijit not helping Potential workarounds (not crazy about any): Place the widget in one of the non Anchor Bar slots Could create a separate widget with no visuals that initializes the maps time. Then the user would need to open this Time Slider window manually Also, I know there is a Time Slider widget out of the box from ESRI and wish we could use it. But needed this custom version to set the maps initial time and also the slider notches based off a lookup from a mosaic dataset. The dates need to be dynamic over a 2 year period based on the data. Thanks for any help or ideas! ... View more

Using Portal 10.6 and its built in WAB which I think is 2.6. Trying to add a FeatureLayer to a 3D scene but getting the mentioned error that multipoint geometries are not supported. That's a bummer. Each record in this dataset has two points. Short of creating a new feature class and duplicating data that would need to stay in sync, anyway to tell the API to just plot the first point and ignore the other parts? Thanks much! ... View more
