Custom WAB Template : Feature creation is disabled for all layers.

AndyAston — Wed, 20 May 2015 16:06:05 GMT

I’m stumped...I setup a custom WAB app (Dev Edition), including the out of the box Edit widget and a custom widget. My Feature Layer has editing enabled and it's functional in the Web Map. When I share it to my custom WAB template and click on the Edit widget I get this message: Feature creation is disabled for all layers. No issues with a standard WAB template. Ideas?

Update: This has been isolated to an issue with the WAB Export As Template and the Edit widget. It's identified as a bug with Esri now. The short-term solution is to build the app with a defined web map. More to come on a long-term resolution with a template-based workflow.

Glad you are figuring it out. It sounds tricky.

This is a reported bug (BUG-000087970). It's been "in process" for a year now, but the status shows as "In Product Plan" and it's now ranked as a "High" priority. Hopefully that's in line with your timeframe.

Andy Aston,

Did this bug ever get fixed? I have the same problem, too.

If you get the error in the web map too, it may be related to z-aware layer published from ArcMap:

This still appears to be an issue (at least in Enterprise 8.1). I had to disable z-values in my data and re-publish to allow editing.
