Editor Widget issue when setting no attributes updatable - geometry only

ChristopheS — Mon, 07 Jun 2021 14:21:13 GMT

Hi All,

I have to modify features, but geometries only, attributes should not be shown nor updated.

So, as by default Editor fieldConfig is exposing all attributes, I tried to empty it with null, [] or [{}].

Unfortunately all these values are causing many issues and errors in the javascript console.

Is there a way to edit only geometries with the Editor widget ?

Regards

Chris

How about leaving the fields in but not allowing them to be edited, such as:

fieldConfigs: [{ name: "HazardType", label: "Hazard Type", editable: false, direction: "asc" }, { name: "descrip", label: "Description", editable: false, direction: "asc" }, {...

There is also a 'showNoValueOption' setting that might work (not much help on it). Or maybe the 'visibilityExpression' that ties to an Arcade expression that is always false?

Actually, with something like I made it work :

const pointInfos = { layer: pointLayer, fieldConfig: [{ name: "HazardType", label: "Hazard type", editable: false, visibilityExpression:"1==2" //Here is the Trick not to have any attributes editable nor shown ! }]

BUT, after reviewing my codepen code, I also made it work with a regular fieldConfig: []

So, may be there was a bug in my original codepen.

Thank you Jeffrey

That second option looks a lot simpler 😁
