Create a feature in a layer with subtypes

mody_buchbinder

Hello all

I need t create a feature in a featureclass that has subtypes in Enterprise geodatabase with some other attributes.

Some of the attributes will be taken from the subtype default values and other will be taken from a value list.

As far as I understand, the way to create a feature with default subtype values is to use edit template (it looks like define subtype create edit template for each subtype automatically).

The only way I found to use it is to do editOperation.create(EditTemplate).

I have an option to add the geometry to the create method but no other attributes (if I am using template).

I need something like editOperation.Create(editTemplate, geometry, attribute dictionary)

The only way I found is to take the new record and use Inspector to update values.

Am I missing something?

Hi Mody, 

Use the Inspector from the Template object to provide temporary override values for field values prior to calling the EditOperation.Create method. 

Here is an example

// perform the creation
var op = new EditOperation();
op.Name = "Create feature";
// use template default field values
op.Create(template, geometry);

// to modify default template properties
var insp = template.Inspector;
insp["City"] = "Perth";

// create with the modified fields and a different geometry
op.Create(template, geometry2);

// reset the template fields back to original defaults
insp.Cancel();

// execute the operation
bool result = op.Execute();
