Editing Related Records

DavidBuehler — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 01:07:06 GMT

I am working on phase two of a project that requires users to log progress on a reported incident or concern. I know it is possible to edit related records via the javascript api as the api has this section on it: Query and edit related records | ArcGIS API for JavaScript . I also know the collector has this ability, but not all of my users will be in the field needing to update their progress. I have figured out how most of the example works, but I am not sure how to modify it to get it to what I need it to do.

My goals are to have the users only be able to search for a particular incident by an incident number, then add related records to track their progress on that incident, and finally edit only one field on the feature itself to signify if it is closed.

Below is what I have come up with so far. I am just trying to get the edit a related record to work, by taking the example and modifying it. I know chunks either need to come out or be modified especially part with the "numPeople" to make it work. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

David,

I think you forgot to attach your code.

Re: Editing Related Records

DavidBuehler — Mon, 27 Apr 2015 13:24:01 GMT

Sorry about that. Thanks for the catch Robert. The code should be there now.

Re: Editing Related Records

DavidBuehler — Thu, 25 Jun 2015 16:12:41 GMT

Has anyone successfully made a web map that supports not just an up vote using a related records? Or is Collector the way to go until they add that functionality into web app builder or another template?
