Hello,
We have an EB app with a couple of edit widgets between two web maps. For editing, we want users to be able to add, delete, update only the attributes of a few layers NOT the geometry. I have the settings for one of these layers as shown below. However, in the app when I click on a polygon it has the pop-up for the polygon but also the polygon is selected (second screenshot) below allowing the polygon to be moved, resized...etc.? We need it enabled for editing but only to allow related table records to be added. How do we disable geometry edits while still allowing new related records? When I turn off editing altogether for the polygon layer we lose the ability to add related records. Are we missing a setting?
Thanks in advance!
Kathy
Also, we tried adding custom view layers that had Editing Capabilities restricted to only allow Attribute Only editing, but then the ExB Edit widget doesn't recognize them as editable, it says "The layer is in a read-only state." 😞
FYI, after more testing, it seems our issue was with user permissions. In AGOL, owners and some user types can edit layers even with editing turned off. Apparently the ExB Edit widget follows those rules. Users without those privileges are not able to edit geometry when it is turned off.
Also note that for feature layers with sublayers, you have to turn off geometry editing on each sublayer...!
