How do I save graphic to feature service?

MStayner — Mon, 11 Nov 2013 14:53:43 GMT

I would like to draw a sketch using graphics (see this example) and save to a feature service. Any thoughts on how to take the entire sketch (all graphics) and save to feature service?

as long as the graphic geometry type matches what is published in your feature service you can call featureLayer.applyEdits() and pass it in within the 'adds' parameter.

check out this sample for an example of the method in action.

I see what you are referring to in the sample: selectedTemplate.featureLayer.applyEdits([newGraphic], null, null);

I am able to add the graphic to the map but it isn't saving to the feature layer. Am I missing something??

I am trying to combine the Draw Graphics on the map example with the example you posted a link to Above.

        var map, toolbar, symbol, geomTask;

Brandon,

i'm not sure i understand what you're asking. are you attempting to save new features to your redline feature layer published using ArcGIS Server? if so, at some point in your code you will need to make a call to RedlinePointLayer.applyEdits() instead of calling RedlinePointLayer.add().
