Hello, I'm looking for some advice for using a graphic with a featureForm in a widget I'm developing please.
The featureForm documentation says that you can use a graphic as the featureForm.feature property, but I have not been able to get the form to display if I use a graphic. What are the requirements for a graphic for the form to display?
The background is that I'm trying to replicate behaviour in the Edit widget, where a graphic? is created and then you can set the attributes in a form, so the user gets the option to save or discard before a feature is actually saved to the layer. All the featureForm samples I've looked at use features that have already been saved in a layer.
In my case I'm creating a geometry by copy/union features in other layers, putting that geometry in graphic to display on the map (using the default graphics layer). I would like to use the graphic with the feature form, but I haven't been able to get it to display - I've tried adding attributes, falsely associating the graphic with the target layer via its layer property, wrapping in a feature, etc.
As a work around I'm creating a temporary featureLayer for editing (copying fields etc. from my target layer), saving the graphic to the temporary featureLayer, and then querying the temporary layer to get a feature for featureForm.feature (which can then be discarded or saved to the target layer). Whilst this works ok, doesn't seem like the best solution!
Thanks for any help.
