I am part way there, but still having difficulty opening a separate attribute inspector for the related table. I'd like to use the attribute inspector because it can handle the valiation for me. From the documentation, it looks like you should be able to open the attribute inspector in a div outside the map. As I understand it, the attribute inspector requires a feature layer and selected features in that feature layer. Therefore, I query the related records using queryRelatedRecords, and then select them using the selectFeatures method on the featureLayer for the related records. When I create the attribute inspector for the related records I assign it to a new div, but still the related records show up in the attribute inspector associated with editor widget and the primary point feature layer. The div that it is supposed to show up in says "No features selected" (screen shots of app and debugger values attached). This doesn't work, because I need to add a save button to the attribute inspector for the related records. Is it possible to have two separate attribute inspectors open at the same time? Is there some other better way to do this?
//global variable for the related record feature layer
relatedRecordMaintLayer = new esri.layers.FeatureLayer("https://myserver.net/ArcGIS/rest/services/internal/Sanitation_Inpsection/FeatureServer/1", {
mode: esri.layers.FeatureLayer.MODE_SELECTION, //QUERY_SELECTION is working as well
outFields: ['OBJECTID','PointID','Date','MaintType']
});
.......
//I am able to display the key field for the related record in a table, and this is the function to show the attribute inspector for the related record that is clicked on in the table.
function showRelated(objID){
var flQuery = new esri.tasks.Query();
flQuery.where = "OBJECTID = " + objID + "";
flQuery.returnGeometry = "false";
propMaintLayer.selectFeatures(flQuery,esri.layers.FeatureLayer.SELECTION_NEW,function (selection)
{
var layerInf = [{'featureLayer':propMaintLayer,
'showAttachments':false,
'isEditable': true,
'fieldInfos': [
{'fieldName': 'OBJECTID', 'isEditable':false, 'tooltip': 'Object ID', 'label':'Object ID:'},
{'fieldName': 'Date', 'isEditable':true,'tooltip': 'Inspection Date MM/DD/YYYY','label':'Date:'},
{'fieldName': 'MaintType', 'isEditable':true, 'label':'Maintenance Type:'},
{'fieldName': 'PointID', 'isEditable':false, 'tooltip': 'Foreign key', 'label':'Foreign Key:'},
]}];
attInspector = new esri.dijit.AttributeInspector({
layerInfos:layerInf
},
dojo.create("div",{id:"relateDiv"},"liRelate" + objID,"last")
);
}
);
}
}
