Update FeatureLayer using applyEdits() sample error

luckachi — Tue, 17 May 2022 14:17:40 GMT

Working with 4.23 - I am currently using a copy of the "Update FeatureLayer using applyEdits()" sample but I am running into an issue where every time I click the "Update" button after creating a point I receive an error message (below) in the console.log

Uncaught (in promise) l {name: 'feature-layer:unsupported-operation', details: undefined, message: 'Layer does not support updating features.'} details: undefined message: "Layer does not support updating features." name: "feature-layer:unsupported-operation" [[Prototype]]: c

The graphic point is created just fine but none of the information I type into the feature form is saved. Also, if I click on an existing point and try to update those attributes nothing works. The only attributes that are saved are the ones that I have set in the graphics layer when the point is initially created.

// Create a new feature using one of the selected template items. editFeature = new Graphic({ geometry: point, attributes: { KINGDOM: attributes.KINGDOM, ADD_DATE: Date.now(), LATITUDE: event.mapPoint.latitude, LONGITUDE: event.mapPoint.longitude, LATDIR: "NORTH", LONDIR: "WEST" } });

My hosted feature layer has Add, Updated and Delete all selected.

I have not made any changes to the sample code so I am not quite how to get this to work the way I need it to.

Hi,

Are you able to edit the service using a different client, like the REST endpoint or ArcGIS Pro?

Re: Update FeatureLayer using applyEdits() sample error

I am able to add/update/delete through ArcGIS Pro. I can add via the REST endpoint. Testing Update and Delete right now

Update I receive an error (not sure if I am doing this wrong - not very knowledgeable with REST

"attributes" : {
"OBJECTID" : 139,
"OBSERVER" : "Claire"
}

{
  "error" : 
  {
    "code" : 400, 
    "message" : "Cannot perform operation. Invalid operation parameters.", 
    "details" : [
      "'updates' parameter is invalid", 
      "Invalid JSON primitive:  {   \"OBJECTID\" : 139,   \"OBSERVER\" : \"Claire Peterson\" }."
    ]
  }
}

When I try to delete a record I was able to add, I get an error message.

deletes=140

{
  "error" : 
  {
    "code" : 400, 
    "message" : "Cannot perform operation. Invalid operation parameters.", 
    "details" : [
      "'deletes' parameter is invalid", 
      "Input string was not in a correct format."
    ]
  }
}

Can you post the entire chunk of code for making your edits?

I am able to successfully update and delete a record using the following payloads.

That error you're getting means the layer doesn't support editing, but could you try using your layer in this simple sample and see if you can edit the features

https://codepen.io/odoe/pen/dydvvaB?editors=1000

Try to edit, add, delete, and see if it works there.

I am able to add just fine but when I click on Select under Edit Features, I am unable to make a selection.

These are my settings on the hosted feature layer which contains 4 separate layers.

For the testing or in my actual javascript file?

And this may not even be easiest way to go about this but my main goal is when people create a feature, I would like certain attributes in the Feature Form or Editor to be already filled in - the ones that I have populated in my Graphic Layer in the initial post.

Then when they select a species from a drop down, I have a query going off to grab the matching attribute information from a table and I would like to bring back the Genus and Species attributes from that table and have those values populate the associated boxes in the form.

Instead of querying for related attributes have you looked into setting up contingent values? - https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/js-api-arcgis/developers/contingent-attribute-values-in-the-arcgis-api-for-javascript/

Re: Update FeatureLayer using applyEdits() sample error

I am not sure this would really work in this situation. The fields that I am trying to populate with the applyedits and with the query are not shown to the user nor will they be editable by the user.

Has anyone else encountered this issue?

I am using the code exactly as is from: https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/sample-code/editing-applyedits/

Below is my JSON from the hosted feature layer that contains all 4 editable layers.

"capabilities" : "Create,Delete,Query,Update,Editing,Sync", "syncCapabilities" : { "supportsAsync" : true, "supportsRegisteringExistingData" : true, "supportsSyncDirectionControl" : true, "supportsPerLayerSync" : true, "supportsPerReplicaSync" : true, "supportsSyncModelNone" : true, "supportsRollbackOnFailure" : true, "supportsAttachmentsSyncDirection" : true, "supportsBiDirectionalSyncForServer" : true, "supportedSyncDataOptions" : 4 }, "supportsApplyEditsWithGlobalIds" : true, "supportsReturnDeleteResults" : true, "supportsLayerOverrides" : true, "supportsTilesAndBasicQueriesMode" : true, "supportsQueryContingentValues" : true, "supportedContingentValuesFormats" : "JSON, PBF", "supportsContingentValuesJson" : 2, "advancedEditingCapabilities" : { "supportsSplit" : false, "supportsReturnServiceEditsInSourceSR" : false, "supportsAsyncApplyEdits" : true, "supportsReturnEditResults" : true

The point is created, I am able to see the fields and edit them but as soon as I click the "Update Incident" button in this example I receive an error in the console.log and nothing happens on screen. The point shows up in the layer but only the attributes I pass with the graphic is included, none of the attributes that the user can modify get saved.

Hi,

When you click the "Update Incidents" button, what is the response from the applyEdits request?

Here is an example of a failed request. In this case the error description is pretty helpful. Although, it sounds like applyEdits is succeeding, if the point is being added to the layer.

Can you also check the request parameters to confirm that all of the user submitted attributes are making it into the payload?

I get no response when I click on the "Update Incidents" button. All I get is an error in the console log

Yes, it seems like the add is working just fine but the update isn't. In reality, it shouldn't be submitting the point until all the information in the form is filled out. So the only information being saved with the record is the attributes here:

// Create a new feature using one of the selected // template items. editFeature = new Graphic({ geometry: point, attributes: { KINGDOM: attributes.KINGDOM, LATITUDE: event.mapPoint.latitude, LONGITUDE: event.mapPoint.longitude } });

I also get a similar error message in the console.log if I try to delete a record even though Add, Update and Delete options are enabled in the layer settings.

@JillianStanford - I was finally able to get the a test update to work via the REST API. So updates should work but I am unsure what in my code is preventing the updates. Do I need to add an API key to this?

Re: Update FeatureLayer using applyEdits() sample error

I ended up opening an ESRI ticket for this issue. As it turns out, all the settings were correct and somehow the hosted feature service must have gotten corrupted. After republishing, everything works as it should.
