I would recommend against using ObjectID as a primary key field because those can get recalculated. Using GlobalID is a "set it and forget it" kind of thing. Just enable GlobalIDs in your feature class and the geodatabase takes care of the rest. You don't need to create the value yourself.</P> Mon, 03 Jul 2023 15:08:08 GMT BlakeTerhune 2023-07-03T15:08:08Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-javascript-maps-sdk-questions/usage-of-globalid-field-type/m-p/1304831#M81592 <P>How do you use the field type global-id when using editor widget to create/updated/delete features?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I cannot see any examples on how to apply it appropriately.</P> Fri, 30 Jun 2023 12:35:51 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-javascript-maps-sdk-questions/usage-of-globalid-field-type/m-p/1304831#M81592 Aeseir 2023-06-30T12:35:51Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-javascript-maps-sdk-questions/usage-of-globalid-field-type/m-p/1304998#M81600 <P>The GlobalID field is read-only and managed by the geodatabase.
