Perform IdentifyTask within Edit operation and wait for Deferred to return

ShaneLim — Wed, 25 Jun 2014 13:27:43 GMT
I have a simple point editing javascript site. I am trying to get the topmost layer feature and unique ID from an identify to link the new feature to the feature it intersects when place. So if I place a new workorder on a hydrant I want the hydrant layer and the hydrants ID to populate in the workorder attributes. The problem is identifyTask is differed and the add function on "before-apply-edits" function finishes before the deffered returns the values. Is there a way to wait for the deferred or to move the differed into an update function to update the attributes with the values?

Below is my code. I appologize in advance its pretty raw right now and I had to cut some to get under the character limit.
