Identify widget strange behavior

LeoLadefian5 — Wed, 21 Sep 2016 21:00:57 GMT

I'm having an issue with one of my layers depending on if it's toggled on or off in the layer list.

Here is the example, when the below configuration is selected, the identify widget works fine:

When the below configuration is used, the identify widget fails to return any values.

When they are both selected the identify widget works as it should.

Can anyone replicate this? here is my app:

Leo,

The issue is that you have a highly unusual configuration in your map service. Have a group layer and a sublayer named identically is Highly unusual and the cause of this issue.

Thanks, I'll make the change, I created the service with only one layer and it still created a grouplayer, I guess this is normal behavior?

Leo,

Hmm. I am not sure I have seen that behavior.

The name of the service is Plat Archive, then the layer within the published mxd or is also called Plat Archive. Therefore it creates the layer with subgroup.

Robert, I changed the name of the service and it's still exhibiting the same behavior, any ideas?

Leo,

does the layer list widget reflect the name change?

Leo,

Hmm. I will have to dig into this then.

Hi Robert, I was able to replicate this with my other grouped map layers, but not all of them, only the Environmental and Plat Archive so far. Turning on the parent layer without any of the grouped layers seems to cause it. I did have the layer list expanded by default using your code, but took it out and it didn't seem to change the issue.

Leo,

I have found the issue(s) and will have it fixed in version 2.1.1 of the widget. The widget now Truly respects layer visibility based on scale and layer checked state.

Thank you so much, can I use the new widget in wab 2.0? or do I need to upgrade the app.

You will need to upgrade.
