Editor Tracking fields hidden in attributeinspector

JeffPace — Thu, 15 Dec 2016 20:59:34 GMT

I am trying to display (but not edit) the editor tracking fields of a layer in a feature service. If editor tracking is disabled in the database, they show up fine.

However if i enable editor tracking in the database, the fields disappear in the attribute inspector. They exist in the data, and in the json response, they are just not shown.

Is there any way to display them? i have them set as isEditable = false; in the code.

I just ran a quick test and the editor tracking info shows up for me. Here's my test app:

Thanks for the reply,

I get a cannot create map when i click on your link.

I made a fiddle

Edit fiddle - JSFiddle

username:util

password:utilities

click on a blue dot, you will see some fields, but not the editor id fields. Editorid is set in the database on, UTC time.

When I test your JSFiddle I can see the editor tracking info in the popup. Here's a screen shot showing what I see.

Exactly. There should be six fields displaying.

{'fieldName': 'BUSINESS_N', 'isEditable': true},
{'fieldName': 'ADDRESS', 'isEditable': true},
{'fieldName': 'CREATOR', 'isEditable': false},
{'fieldName': 'CREATIONDATE', 'isEditable': false},
{'fieldName': 'EDITORNAME', 'isEditable': false},
{'fieldName': 'LASTUPDATE', 'isEditable': false},

If i make the lone change of disabling editor tracking in the database, the fields immediately show up in the attribute inspector

jeff.pace‌ I am pretty sure that this is by design. If you look at the image I shared you can see the editor date and owner info is displayed as text rather than an editable field. If editor tracking is enabled those fields will be auto populated based on the logged-in user and date/time.

Right, so we can see lastupdate and editorname. I understand that, but what about creatorname and creation date?

Check out the getEditSummary help in the JSAPI. The attribute inspector uses this info to populate the editor tracking div. There's some info that explains when you'll see the Created info.
