Subtypes in Popups not working Flex 2.5

KenCarrier — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 14:15:16 GMT

Can anyone help me figure out why subtypes are not displaying properly within Popups using the 2.5 API?

The tech I was working with referenced this bug.

#NIM073464 Enhance the Pop up's to show coded domain value descriptions instead of coded values in flex viewer

I am not entirely sure this relates to my issue because my domains are coming across just fine in the popups, but the Subtypes are showing up as numbers/integers and not the description.

I know Robert Scheitlin was able to figure out how to make this work in his widgets.

Am I doing something wrong here

Popup_WaterHydrant.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<configuration>

<title>
Water Hydrant
FACILITYID = {FACILITYID}
</title>
    
    <description>

While this might not be the exact issue, I do know that the description tag or title/field tag do not work together. It is either one or the other.

Glomar,

Respectively I would have to disagree, in order to get dates to work correctly in some cases you must specify how you want the date formatted within the field tags otherswise they can show up as a bunch of jumbled numbers that make no sense to the end user.

Esri and Robert Scheitlin pointed this out to me as a workaround for a known bug. So if you specify a date in the description tag and the values that come back make no sense, specify how you want the date formatted in the field tag and they will be formatted as such.

Hope this helps!
