attributeInspector in sidebar

TracySchloss — Fri, 16 Oct 2015 21:01:12 GMT

I've looked at the Editor widget, but it ties me to adding features by map click and places the attributes in the info tag. I want the point to originate with a geocoded address and attributes in the sidebar. I found an older example that has the attribute editing positioned there, but without any graphic editing. Right now I'm trying to select a point, open the attributeInspector and also let the user drag the point.

It works to select and drag the point, but it never opens the attributeInspector. I'm getting an error, which is of no help "unable to complete operation". It provides a line number in the init.js file. I hate these kinds of errors, I can never track down where the problem is.

Here's what I have so far:

Tracy,

It is a simple as wrong field name.

selectQuery.objectIds = [evt.graphic.attributes.OBJECTID];

Just to add to Robert's answer - if you want to determine in code the object id name you can do something like this:

var oidField = featureLayer.objectIdField;

selectQuery.objectIds = [evt.graphic.attributes[oidField]];

That's what I get for not paying enough attention to what I'm copying from another example!
