Hello All,

I'm using Web App Builder 2.2 Developer Edition.

Once feature is captured using Edit Widget, I want to apply attributes from the spatial query before apply edits. I have written my code as below to achieve this but query gets completed after attribute inspector is opened.

_canDeleteSelectionFeatures: function () {
// return ture if all features can be deleted,
// else return false.
var canDeleteFeatures = true;
var selectionFeatures = this._getSelectionFeatuers();
if(selectionFeatures.length === 0) {
canDeleteFeatures = false;
} else {
array.some(selectionFeatures, function (feature) {

var featureLayer = feature.getLayer && feature.getLayer();

//I have written below line 
on(featureLayer, 'before-apply-edits', lang.hitch(this, this.onBeforeApplyEdits))

if (!featureLayer ||
!featureLayer.getEditCapabilities({ feature: feature }).canDelete
) {
canDeleteFeatures = false;
return true;
}

}, this);
}
return canDeleteFeatures;
},

and then onBeforeApplyEdits, I have done spatial query to get the required attribute as below:

onBeforeApplyEdits: function (evt) {

if (evt.adds != null) {

var selectionFeatures = this._getSelectionFeatuers();

array.some(selectionFeatures, lang.hitch(this,function (feature) {

var queryDivsionName = new Query();
queryDivsionName.returnGeometry = false;
queryDivsionName.outFields = ["division"];
queryDivsionName.geometry = feature.geometry;
queryDivsionName.spatialRelationship = Query.SPATIAL_REL_INTERSECTS;

var queryDivsionNameTask = new QueryTask(divsionLayer.url);

execute(queryDivsionName, lang.hitch(this, function (featureSet) {
console.log(featureSet);
divisionName = featureSet.features[0].attributes.division;
}));
}));


evt.adds[0].attributes.division = divisionName ;
}

Please suggest how to spatial query for attribute and apply to feature before apply edits.

Regards,

Krish

Kirsh,

   Something like this:

onBeforeApplyEdits: function (evt) {
  if (evt.adds != null) {
    var feat = evt.adds[0];
    var queryDivsionName = new Query();
    queryDivsionName.returnGeometry = false;
    queryDivsionName.outFields = ["division"];
    queryDivsionName.geometry = feat.geometry;
    queryDivsionName.spatialRelationship = Query.SPATIAL_REL_INTERSECTS;
    var queryDivsionNameTask = new QueryTask(divsionLayer.url);
    execute(queryDivsionName, lang.hitch(this, function (featureSet) {
      feat.attributes.division = featureSet.features[0].attributes.division;
      feat.getLayer().applyEdits(null, [feat], null);
    }));
  }
},

The way you were attempting to do it was not working because the spatial query is a deferred and the attribute was being set to null before the deferred was returned.

HiRobert Scheitlin, GISP‌,

Thank you so much! Now, it is working...

But below line is giving error.

feat.getLayer().applyEdits(null, [feat], null);

Please find the screenshot below:

Hence, I have commented below line:

Try:

evt.target.applyEdits(null, [feat], null);

Hi Robert Scheitlin, GISP‌,

I said working as It is now working as expected after commenting below line. I'm getting the required name inside the attribute inspector. Hence I marked your answer as correct. feat.getLayer().applyEdits(null, [feat], null);

As suggested by you, I have added below line:

evt.target.applyEdits(null, [feat], null);

But after adding this line, I'm getting below error. I'm not sure why I'm getting this error:

Krish,

  So is the value saved to the feature if you leave it and come back and select the feature?

Hi Robert Scheitlin, GISP‌,

Just now I have observed that value is not saved.

When trying with this line, evt.target.applyEdits(null, [feat], null);

I'm getting below error.

Please suggest how to proceed.

Regards,

Krish
