Alejandro, This my complete code.    _worksAfterCreate: function () {        //debugger;         this.editor.templatePicker.on("selection-change", lang.hitch(this, function() {           var selected = this.editor.templatePicker.getSelected();           if (selected) {             var featureLayer = selected.featureLayer;             on.once(featureLayer, "before-apply-edits", lang.hitch(this, function(evt){             if(evt.adds && evt.adds.length > 0){                 if(evt.adds[0].attributes.hasOwnProperty('sfd_status')){                   evt.adds[0].attributes.sfd_status = "NOT FLUSHED";                 }                 if (evt.adds[0].attributes.hasOwnProperty('sfd_edit_by')){                   evt.adds[0].attributes.sfd_edit_by = StationShift;                 }                  if (evt.adds[0].attributes.hasOwnProperty('sfd_edit_date')){                   evt.adds[0].attributes.sfd_edit_date = convertUTCDateToLocalDate(new Date(Date.now()));                 }                 refreshLayers(this.map, this.map.graphicsLayerIds);                 this.editor.attributeInspector.refresh();               }             }));            }         }));        }, The section that may be most applicable to your situation is where I have a field called  'sfd_edit_by' that I am populating with my 'StationShift' variable defined elsewhere. if (evt.adds[0].attributes.hasOwnProperty('sfd_edit_by')){           evt.adds[0].attributes.sfd_edit_by = StationShift;    } ...

Alejandro, I did solve this issue using the code that Liz provided which Robert had suggested. Let me know if you have any questions on how I implemented this. Mele ... View more

Changed my code slightly as shown below: //added to convert UTC to local Time     function convertUTCDateToLocalDate(date) {     date = new Date(date);     var localOffset = date.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000;     var localTime = date.getTime();     date = localTime - localOffset;     //date = new Date(date);     return date;     }; ...

Yes, Robert,  that is what I was looking to do.    Add some text dynamically to the Header Controller Widget below.    I would like to add something at the end of 'Hydrant Maintenance Program'.    It looks like this is the Title which is set in the config.json file.  ... View more

Junshan Liu,   setting the timeout worked to get the panel to open.   It was an onscreen widget so that helped a lot!   Thanks. Robert Scheitlin, GISP,   I may end up using your solution as well,  but for now it is working.   You are both correct so I appreciate your help in solving my problem!    Can I mark both of your answers as correct? ...

This is very useful.   Thanks for the help!     I was able to create a widget with a combo box in it and then publish the data.     This looks to be the path I needed.  Right now,  I am hung up on how to retrieve the data from my custom widget's data store.  I did not understand the arguments for the onReceiveData  method so I tried fetchDataByName on the widget I was using to call the data from and was able to 'see' my data as I stepped through the code,   but was not able to 'get' the data. Is there  a good example for the onReceiveData or even the fetchDataByName methods? I saw the widget example for the communication between widgets,  but was not following it. ... View more

Thanks for the reply.  It sounds like I can do what I am looking to do.   Can you provide some details on how to open a widget at start?    I did take a look at the sample widgets and the life cycle events,  but I am not yet clear where to put a combo box within a custom widget. Also,  I don't know how to save the selection from the Combo Box to a variable which I can use in other widgets. If you can provide some more details,  I would appreciate it.     The documentation on custom widgets is very brief.   Is there something better out there to show me how to accomplish building a custom widget? ...
