Adding user info in the Attribute Table

Question

Good Day,

I would like some advice please. I want to store the app user's name/info in the feature service table when a feature is added. This is simply so that I can identify who added the feature to the table. How can this be done? I have tried adding information using Secure Storage and then retrieving the info to be stored as the attribute but that did not work.

Thank you in advance.

The "manual method" is just simply adding another field(s) to your feature layer, then when you do addFeature or applyEdit, make sure to include that new information to the new field(s).

I think you meant to show more code in your previous comment?

I enabled the editor tracker as well and I was able to see who is making an edit (in this case it was me) however majority of the app users will be the general public with no ArcGIS Online account. Would I still be able to see who added a feature?

Hi, thank you for the reply. I was not aware of the editor tracking I will take a look at that. Can you further explain the manual method? Thank you.

Also,

there's no error message, what I did was include this piece of code

retrieveData.text = qsTr("Value: ") + SecureStorage.value(key.text)

in this part of the Add Features Code:

// create attributes json for the new feature

var featureAttributes
