featureLayer.applyEdits ignores 3rd delete array

ViktorSafar — Thu, 22 Dec 2022 11:19:52 GMT

JS API v3

docs say the 3rd param is <Graphic[]> deletes, and the only specified requirement is "Array of features to delete. Must have valid ObjectId"

(my layer's objectIdField is called objectid (all lower case)).

I can see that the function makes the POST but ignores the [toDelete] parameter that was passed in. What am I doing wrong?

In order for the applyEdits operation to successfully process the deletes, the objectIdField must be set. Although I suppose you could manually set it, this ordinarily doesn't take place until the layer has loaded. Therefore, I would recommend something like the following change:

Waiting for the layer to load before calling applyEdits may also solve the problem you were having in the other thread.
