Retain input fields after locator.addressesToLocations

EricErtl — Tue, 01 Aug 2023 17:54:31 GMT

I am running the addressesToLocation (JavaScript Maps SDK v4.27) method in the locator class and I am hoping to return attributes that were in the original dataset. In the returned AddressCandidates attributes response, the only fields that are returned are the geocoding result fields but no access to the original input fields (e.g., comments, alphanumeric uid, etc.) Is there anyway to access these attributes so they can be accessed for use in a popup, etc.?

locator | API Reference | ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.27 | ArcGIS Developers

Try specifying the outFields=* in the requestOptions of the params object.

Thanks @BlakeTerhune for the reply. I have tried using both the addressesToLocation (batch) and addressToLocation (single search) and it does not return the input fields (besides the address). The outFields parameter is only available on the addressToLocation method. I uploaded a csv with objectid, address, and comments for ~50 records but nothing in the response returns those fields (example output attributes object below).

Hi Eric,

I am too using JS 4.27 to geocode bunch of addresses via locator.addressesToLocations but promise is giving me the exception "<!DOCTYPE "... is not valid JSON`, need little bit of your help. I am using the following geocode service:

If possible please share code.
