Set attributes in featurelayer edittemplate

PrashantKirpan — Tue, 02 Mar 2021 07:08:50 GMT

Hi,

I've created feature layer from featureservice. I've almost 73 predefined edit templates and want to add couple of attributes to each template after layer is getting added on map.

I got all templates using below code but not sure how to get predefined attributes and set values.

Any help would be appreciated.

Did you try template.GetDefinition() to and then loop through each key value pair in CIMFeatureTemplate.DefaultValues , edit the definition, then call template.SetDefinition?

Prashant,

Take a look at the following help topics for some concepts and examples to get you started

I'm able to assign values for CIMFeatureTemplate but when I call SetDefinition, values are resetting again and showing empty.

Here is my code:

IEnumerable<FeatureLayer> featLayers = theMap.GetLayersAsFlattenedList().OfType<FeatureLayer>(); foreach (FeatureLayer item in featLayers) { foreach (var template in MappingExtensions.GetTemplates(item)) { CIMFeatureTemplate featTemplate = (CIMFeatureTemplate)template.GetDefinition(); featTemplate.DefaultValues["fieldname"] = "SomeValue"; //Values are updated template.SetDefinition(featTemplate); //template.Defaultvlaues are empty here } }

This works for me:

private async Task UpdateTemplates(FeatureLayer fLayer) { // set the default value for the DisplayName field // to whatever the name of the template is await QueuedTask.Run(() => { var layerDef = fLayer.GetDefinition() as CIMFeatureLayer; var featTemplates = layerDef.FeatureTemplates?.ToList(); if (featTemplates == null) featTemplates = new List<CIMEditingTemplate>(); foreach (var t in featTemplates.OfType<CIMFeatureTemplate>()) { if (t.DefaultValues == null) t.DefaultValues = new Dictionary<string, object>(); Debug.Print(t.Name); foreach (var kvp in t.DefaultValues) Debug.Print($"\t {kvp.Key} : {kvp.Value}"); t.DefaultValues["DisplayName"] = t.Name; } layerDef.FeatureTemplates = featTemplates.ToArray(); fLayer.SetDefinition(layerDef); }); }

Thank you KirkKuykendall1,

Perfectly working.. used t.Defaultvalues["FieldName"] = "SomeValue" to update attributes in collection.

Really appreciate your help,

Prashant
