Getting $feature attribute using brackets and variable not working.

[omar-marji]

Trying to access a feature's attribute using the bracket notation does not work when using a variable (unless it is accessed at least once using a string.

If you take a look at the snippet below. This gives an error

var fldName = "ASSETTYPE";
Console($feature[fldName]);

The error message is :

Invalid expression.
Error on line 2.
Field not found ASSETTYPE

While If I try to use the snippet below. It works without an error

var ftrValue = $feature["ASSETTYPE"];
Console(ftrValue);
var fldName = "ASSETTYPE";
Console($feature[fldName]);

Any ideas how I can work around this restriction? I have a dynamic list of fields that I am trying to use to get values from the feature.

One thing to note is that if I use OBJECTID for the first snippet, it does not give any errors and works without having to access the field first using an inline string!

I'm sure there are more elegant solutions...

var attributes = Dictionary(Text($feature))["attributes"]

var field_names = ["ASSETTYPE", "OBJECTID"]
for(var i in field_names) {
  Console(attributes[field_names[i]])
}

Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately, this still has the same issue and I am starting to think it is in the way the "verify" function works when creating the attribute rules.

Check the below scenario:

Console(Text($feature));

This results in the following object

{
  "geometry":{
    "x":####,
    "y":####,
    "z":0,
    "m":null,
    "spatialReference":{"wkid":####}
  },
  "attributes":{
    "GLOBALID":"{443094DA-F564-47D2-A07E-F47EA9B1C03A}",
    "OBJECTID":5
  }
}

While this scenario (although the attributes was accessed after the console call)

Console(Text($feature));
var assetType = $feature["ASSETTYPE"];

Results in the following

{
  "geometry":{
    "x":####,
    "y":####,
    "z":0,
    "m":null,
    "spatialReference":{"wkid":####}
  },
  "attributes":{
    "ASSETTYPE":101,
    "GLOBALID":"{443094DA-F564-47D2-A07E-F47EA9B1C03A}",
    "OBJECTID":5
  }
}
