JS API 4.5 new Graphic geometry set to null

[KyleDunaway1]

var tmpGraphic = new Graphic({
  attributes: {
    "objectid": someObjectID
    "someAttribute" : someAtrribute
  }
});

featureLayer.applyEdits({
  updateFeatures: [tmpGraphic]
}).then....

The applyEdits request shows the geometry for the graphic as null, thus overwriting the geometry on the feature layer.

I assume this is new as it hasn't been happening before...

Any ideas?

Kyle,

   ??? Why would not not get the actual graphic and just update the properties and then applyEdits that way the geometry is not null?

[KyleDunaway1]

Because I have 1000+ features in a table and am using a select to change an attribute.  No geometry, so getting the actually geometry would require returning it in the query and that would be wasteful performance wise.

Instead of passing in a Graphic to apply Edits, try just passing in an object like:

let graphicObj = {
  attributes: {
    objectId: 1,
    attr1: 5,
    attr2: "hi"
  }
}

featureLayer.applyEdits({
  updateFeatures: [graphicObj]
}).then(...)

You could also try getting the object by doing let json = graphic.toJSON() and then delete json.geometry.

Thanks, passing just an object worked.  I assumed it had to be a Graphic object.
