Web AppBuilder Smart Editor - Can't move point

JamesS1 — Fri, 22 Sep 2017 18:19:41 GMT

When trying to edit the geometry of an existing point, it can't be moved. When I create a new feature, I can move the point, but once I save, I can no longer move it.

Any thoughts?

James,

are you the author of this feature service? When you go to the rest endpoint what are the allowed capabilities for the service

i.e. Capabilities: Create,Delete,Query,Update,Uploads,Editing

It is a feature service from AGS with the data in an enterprise geodatabase. The endpoint has the following capabilities:

I can edit the attribute data without issue. I can edit polyline and polygon geometry without issue. I just cannot update a point geometry. When I check the box to "Edit Geometry" and hover over the selected feature, the cursor does not change to a pointer from the arrow as it is supposed to. Perhaps this is a smart editor widget issue?

James,

What version of WAB are you using?

WAB 2.5 and also AGOL. Both have the same issue with the widget.

Update: It works in WAB 2.4 - so it is an issue with 2.5 (and AGOL)

I would call esri tech support to confirm this is a known bug.

This has been an issue: https://community.esri.com/thread/170820

If you set the symbology to Location Only and use a standard ArcGIS Online symbol it works better

This behavior will occur if there is another layer on top of the point layer. Not sure if this is the cause in your case.

What Keith describes was the exact issue I recently experienced. Even though the layer on top of my point layer was not editable, it still interfered with editing the point layer underneath.

Thanks!

Henry

Keith's solution worked for me too. I just turned off the layer above the one I was trying to edit and it was fixed.
