skech widget is ignoring availableCreateTools property

I am trying to create a sketch widget in esri javascript. I am using the 4.30 libraries. I am setting a property called availableCreateTools and giving it 6 or 7 tools but the api just does not render the tools I am providing. It goes back to default values.

Here is my code, attached is the screenshot from the debugger.

sketch = new Sketch({

layer: graphicsLayer,

view: view,

availableCreateTools: ["point", "polyline", "rectangle", "freehandPolygon", "multipoint", "freehandPolyline", "polygon"],

creationMode: "update"

});

Is this a server side setting that needs to change or a bug in the api or is there a different way to achieve this?

Any insight is appreciated.

Best

Rakesh

The Sketch widget overrides the value of availableCreateTools supplied in the constructor. Whether that's a bug or not is debatable (I would suggest that it is), but whatever the case, you should be able to set it after the constructor instead:

sketch = new Sketch({ layer: graphicsLayer, view: view, creationMode: "update" }); sketch.availableCreateTools = ["point", "polyline", "rectangle", "freehandPolygon", "multipoint", "freehandPolyline", "polygon"];
