Using the attribute inspector

Description

The Attribute Inspector is a widget that allows you to display and edit the selected features from one or more feature layers. If the data has subtypes or domains those are honored by the attribute inspector.

The attribute inspector provides the following:

  • Performs validation
  • Displays coded-value domains in drop down lists
  • Shows a date picker (calendar) for date values.

If you are using the attribute inspector outside of the editor widget you are responsible for applying the changes to your feature service. Modifying an attribute fires the attribute-change event which provides access to the updated feature, the name of the field that was edited and the new value. In this sample we store the changed value each time an attribute is updated.
