Hi guys,
I would like to know how i can efficiently handle changes to feature layer outfield names. Currently when i'm querying any feature layer i'm hard coding the outfield parameters for any given query. eg query.outfields = ["Code,RName"]. I've dealt with two particular REST services already for a current application and i've noticed that certain outfield name changes when it gets republished which obviously causes the querying to stop working properly. Do i have to manage this process via an external db or can i make a case with the data management guys to make sure the fields stay constant or have a constant alias of some sort of which i can then compare and extract the required fields.
Regards,
Ryan
Ryan,
I am surprised that the field names change so frequently, that doesn't look like a good business procedure.
Is there a way you could use ["*"] as your outfield?
