Attribute inspector in popup problem

BenFousek — Fri, 10 Dec 2021 23:35:57 GMT

I have feature layers for which the features are created in ArcMap but the attributes can be edited through the web app. Previously the user would initiate full editing through an editor like layers with geometry editing. To simplify things, I'm switching to an attribute inspector in the popup for these attribute edit only layers. Using the attribute inspector sample as inspiration I have it up and running.

The problem is the inspector is shown only on the first click/feature selection. Subsequent clicks return no content, i.e. the attribute inspector, in the popup content for the same or any other feature. The popup title updates but no inspector. Why?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]28199[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]28200[/ATTACH]

This is the config object used to create the layer; it is variable l in the code below:

{
  url: 'http://URL/arcgis/rest/services/Control/FeatureServer/0',
  token: true,
  tokenType: 'base', //base or custom
  tokenCustom: '',
  source: 'feature', //feature or map
  name: 'Control',
  id: 'fl_control',
  mode: 1,
  outFields: ['*'],
  visible: false,
  opacity: 1,
  minScale: 0,
  maxScale: 0,
  legend: true,
  infoTemplate: {
    type: 'inspector', //inspector, text, function or table
    titleText: 'Control: ${PROJECT} - ${POINT_NUM}',
    contentText: '${*}',
    contentFunction: function (graphic) {},
    contentInspector: {
      isEditable: true,
      showObjectID: false,
      showGlobalID: false,
      showAttachments: false,
      showDeleteButton: false,
      fieldInfos: [
        {
          fieldName: 'PROJECT',
          label: 'Project',
          isEditable: true
      }, {
          fieldName: 'POINT_NUM',
          label: 'Point No.',
          isEditable: true
      }, {
          fieldName: 'NORTHING',
          label: 'Northing',
          isEditable: false
      }, {
          fieldName: 'EASTING',
          label: 'Easting',
          isEditable: false
      }, {
          fieldName: 'ELEV',
          label: 'Elevation',
          isEditable: false
      }, {
          fieldName: 'DESCRIPTION',
          label: 'Description',
          isEditable: true
      }, {
          fieldName: 'PROJECTION',
          label: 'Projection',
          isEditable: false
      }, {
          fieldName: 'NOTES',
          label: 'Notes',
          'stringFieldOption': 'textarea',
          isEditable: true
      }
      ]
    }
  },
  identify: true,
  query: true,
  queryLayer: 0, //same as feature layer TO DO: extract from url instead
  queryParams: {
    //query params
  },
  edit: true,
  editParams: {
    //editor params
  },
  info: true,
  infoType: 'text', //text or href
  infoContent: 'Layer info...' //info text (html) or url
}

This is the info template portion of the code that creates a feature layer; layer is the feature layer.

var it = new esri.InfoTemplate();

if (l.infoTemplate.type === 'inspector') {
  var layerInfo = {
    featureLayer: layer,
    isEditable: l.infoTemplate.contentInspector.isEditable,
    showObjectID: l.infoTemplate.contentInspector.showObjectID,
    showGlobalID: l.infoTemplate.contentInspector.showGlobalID,
    showAttachments: l.infoTemplate.contentInspector.showAttachments,
    showDeleteButton: l.infoTemplate.contentInspector.showDeleteButton
  }
  
  if (l.infoTemplate.contentInspector.fieldInfos !== undefined) {
    layerInfo.fieldInfos = l.infoTemplate.contentInspector.fieldInfos;
  }
  
  layer.inspector = new esri.dijit.AttributeInspector({
    layerInfos: [layerInfo]
  }, dojo.create('div'));
  
  dojo.style(layer.inspector.layerName, 'display', 'none');
  
  layer.inspector.on('attribute-change', function (result) {
    var feature = result.feature;
    var atts = feature.attributes;
    for (var i in atts) {
      if (i === result.fieldName) {
        atts = result.fieldValue;
      }
    }
    layer.applyEdits(null, [feature], null, function (a, u, d) {
      console.log(u[0]);
    }, function (error) {
      console.log(error);
    });
  });

  it.setContent(layer.inspector.domNode);
  
  it.setTitle(l.infoTemplate.titleText);
  
  layer.on('click', function (evt) {
    var query = new esri.tasks.Query();
    query.where = 'OBJECTID = ' + evt.graphic.attributes.OBJECTID;
    //console.log(evt.graphic);
    layer.selectFeatures(query, 3, function (features) {
      console.log(features);
    });
  });
  
  app.map.infoWindow.on('hide', function () {
    layer.clearSelection();
    console.log('infoWindow hidden');
  });
  
} else if (l.infoTemplate.type === 'text') {
  //text
} else if (l.infoTemplate.type === 'table') {
  //table
} else if (l.infoTemplate.type === 'function') {
  //function
}

layer.setInfoTemplate(it);

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

This is driving me crazy.

As is, the layer is selecting a feature every time a feature is clicked. When inspecting the html of the popup, after the first click the attribute inspector node is there and populated; on subsequent selections the node is still there but its div is empty. For whatever reason the inspector is not getting updated with the new selection.

I have thoroughly dissected the inspector object and I can't see any method for manually setting the inspector with a feature or through the feature layer object.

If I create a div somewhere else in the app and set it as srcNodeRef it works fine.

layer.inspector = new esri.dijit.AttributeInspector({ layerInfos: [  layerInfo ] }, 'temp-attributes' /*dojo.create('div')*/);

Any ideas? Derek? Kelly? Anyone?
