Editing - Auto populate custom fields

RichardMoussopo

I am trying to auto populate the custom fields in the editor but no luck.

here is what I thought would work by assigning the value to the textBox but nothing...

   
var someValue = "My value";
var myTextBox = new dijit.form.TextBox({
        id: "firstname",
        value: someValue 
       
          });
          
          var txtEmail = new dijit.form.TextBox({
        id: "email",
        value: "my email here" 
       
          });
       
        var layerInfos = [{
          'featureLayer':featureLayer,
          'showAttachments':false,
          'showDeleteButton':true,
          'fieldInfos':[
            {'fieldName':'name','label':'Name','customField': myTextBox},
            {'fieldName':'email','label':'Email','customField': txtEmail}
          ]
        }];

If you want to set default values for new features you can do this using the feature layer's before-apply-edits event.  If you set the default values there they will appear when the popup attribute window displays for new features.  Here's an example:

        requestLayer.on("before-apply-edits", function(g){

            var features = g.adds;

            for(i = 0; i < features.length; i++){

              var f = features;

              f.attributes.name = "Jane Doe";

            }

        });
