Apply many edits to a feature layer applyedits

Anonymous User — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 04:48:26 GMT

Hi all,

I am trying to batch insert features (parcels) into a feature layer using feature.applyedits. I am not successful yet. Any tips?

Here is what I got:

 on(dom.byId("createproject"), "click", function () {
                    $("#showattribute").css("display", "inline-block");
                    $("#gifspin").css("display", "inline-block");
                    projectarea.setAttributes({ "START_DATE": Date.parse($("#projectstartdate").val()), "FINISH_DATE": Date.parse($("#projectfinishdate").val()), "Name": $("#projectname").val(), "PROJECT_ID": $("#tesr").val(), "TREE_COUNT": $("#messages").text(), "ACRES": $("#area").text() });

                    
                    //Index array

                    arrayUtil.forEach(projectparcels, function (feature) {
                        feature.setAttributes({
                            "ID": $("#tesr").val(), "OWNER_NAME ": feature.attributes["OWNER_NAME"], "OWNER_ADDR": feature.attributes["OWNER_ADDR"],
                            "OWNER_CITY": feature.attributes["OWNER_CITY"],
                            "OWNER_STAT": feature.attributes["OWNER_STAT"], "OWNER_ZIP": feature.attributes["OWNER_ZIP"],
                            "PRCL_ID": feature.attributes["PRCL_ID"], "SITUSNUMBR": feature.attributes["SITUSNUMBR"], "SITUSSTRNM": feature.attributes["SITUSSTRNM"],
                            "SITUSSTRTY": feature.attributes["SITUSSTRTY"]
                        });
                        featurelayerParcels.applyEdits([feature], null, null, function () {
                            console.log("Parcel updated!");

                        },
                            function (error) {
                                console.log("Features not updated! ", error);
                            });
                    });

...});

Alex,

Projectparcels is a array of graphics so set your attributes like you are but don't do the applyEdits until after you are out of the forEach loop

featurelayerParcels.applyEdits(projectparcels, null, null, function () {
    console.log("Parcel updated!");
}

Alex,

What is line 582 of your code?

Re: Apply many edits to a feature layer applyedits

Anonymous User — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 04:48:32 GMT

                function queryCallback(featureSet) {

                    var symbol = new SimpleFillSymbol(
                        SimpleFillSymbol.STYLE_SOLID,
                        new SimpleLineSymbol(
                            SimpleLineSymbol.STYLE_SOLID,
                            new Color([0, 0, 0, 0.65]), 2
                        ),
                        new Color([255, 255, 0, 0.35])
                    );

                    featureArray = featureSet.features;
                    arrayUtil.forEach(featureArray, function (feature) {
                     
                        projectparcels = new Graphic(feature, symbol);
                        map.getLayer("GraphicsParcel").add(projectparcels);
                    });‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

It seems like my issue is that grphic array is null and returning no features. I think it is missing its geometry.

To answer your question, line 582 is this:

featurelayerParcels.applyEdits([projectparcels], null, null, function () {
                        console.log("Parcel updated!");

                    },function (error) {
                            console.log("Features not updated! ", error);
                        });‍‍‍‍‍‍

Alex,

The issue I see now is that projectparcels is already an array of graphics (i.e. a FeatureSet) so the fact that you are adding that to another array instead of using the code I posted earlier is an issue.

Your doing:

featurelayerParcels.applyEdits([projectparcels], null, null, function () {

I said this:

featurelayerParcels.applyEdits(projectparcels, null, null, function () {

Ha good point. I tried. no success. No errors anymore though.The layer does show any updated parcels.

Alex,

Are you updating or adding new parcels? If you are updating then the array of graphics goes in the second parameter instead.

featurelayerParcels.applyEdits(null, projectparcels, null, function () {

I am trying to add new parcels to a feature layer from a user selection. It

works for but not for the whole list of selected parcels.

Are you adding all the field in the feature class to the attributes?

No. I am leaving OBJECTID aside because It is not necessary. Is that a problem?

No that is not an issue if that is the only value you are not providing.

Alex,

Wait a second in your original code post projectparcels was an array of graphics and latter in your back and forth you have

projectparcels = new Graphic(feature, symbol);

Which means it is just one graphic. So I am not sure where your code is currently.

the feature I add:

feature.setAttributes({
                            "ID": $("#tesr").val(),
                            "OWNER_NAME ": feature.attributes["OWNER_NAME"],
                             "OWNER_ADDR": feature.attributes["OWNER_ADDR"],
                            "OWNER_CITY": feature.attributes["OWNER_CITY"],
                            "OWNER_STAT": feature.attributes["OWNER_STAT"],
                            "OWNER_ZIP": feature.attributes["OWNER_ZIP"],
                            "PRCL_ID": feature.attributes["PRCL_ID"],
                            "SITUSNUMBR": feature.attributes["SITUSNUMBR"],
                             "SITUSSTRNM": feature.attributes["SITUSSTRNM"],
                            "SITUSSTRTY": feature.attributes["SITUSSTRTY"]
                        });‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

the feature class fields:

query.outFields = ["OBJECTID", 
                  "OWNER_NAME", 
                  "OWNER_ADDR", 
                  "OWNER_CITY",
                  "OWNER_STAT", 
                  "OWNER_ZIP",
                   "PRCL_ID",
                  "SITUSNUMBR",
                 "SITUSSTRNM", 
                  "SITUSSTRTY"];‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

My current code:

function queryCallback(featureSet) {

                    var symbol = new SimpleFillSymbol(
                        SimpleFillSymbol.STYLE_SOLID,
                        new SimpleLineSymbol(
                            SimpleLineSymbol.STYLE_SOLID,
                            new Color([0, 0, 0, 0.65]), 2
                        ),
                        new Color([255, 255, 0, 0.35])
                    );

                    featureArray = featureSet.features;
                    arrayUtil.forEach(featureArray, function (feature) {
                        projectparcels = feature;
                        feature.setSymbol(symbol);
                        map.getLayer("GraphicsParcel").add(feature);
                    });‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Also, an array of features is returned to the map as shown below:

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 04:48:40 GMT

Alex,

So because you have:

projectparcels = feature;‍

That means the projectparcels is an individual graphic.

Another issue is that a graphic can only exist once, meaning you can not add it to a graphicslayer and add the same graphic to your FeatureLayer. You will have to clone the graphic for one of the layers you are adding it to.

You something like this:

var newGraArr = []
...
//update the attributes
...
newGraArr.push(new Graphic(feature.toJson()));
...
featurelayerParcels.applyEdits(newGraArr, null, null, function () {‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
