Property Details

dataType Property dataType Stringreadonly

The type of data displayed by the field input. Possible values are listed below.

Value	Description
number	Input represents a number.
text	Input represents text.
date	Input represents a date.
unsupported	The field represents an unsupported value. A `blob` field type is an example of this.

Possible Values:"number" |"text" |"date" |"unsupported"

declaredClass Inherited Property declaredClass Stringreadonly Inherited from Accessor

The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className.

description Property description String |null |undefinedreadonly

The input's description.

distinctValues Property distinctValues Array<(number|string|null|undefined)>readonly

Returns an array of distinct values of the field input. If all features have the same value, this property returns an array with a single element containing that value. If the features have different values, this property returns an array containing all distinct values of the field across the features.

domain Property domain CodedValueDomain |RangeDomain |InheritedDomain |null |undefinedreadonly

The input value's domain. This is used to constrain the allowable values of the layer.

editType Property editType String

The type of edit operation the form is being used for. This can influence whether a field is editable or not (e.g., the layer only allows certain edit operations)

This is also the value that will be set for the Arcade variable $editcontext.editType in the Arcade context used to evaluate form expressions.

Accepted values are "INSERT", "UPDATE", "DELETE", and "NA".

For FieldInputs with value expressions, this property is also used in determining whether or not the value expressions should be applied. Per the href="https://developers.arcgis.com/web-map-specification/objects/formFieldElement/">https://developers.arcgis.com/web-map-specification/objects/formFieldElement/ Web Map Specification, value expressions are ignored if the associated layer field is not editable. Determining whether the layer field is editable must consider whether the specific type of edit being attempted is allowed. For example, if a layer has the supportsAdd capability but does not have the supportsUpdate capability, then the value expression will be applied if editType is INSERT but ignored if editType is UPDATE.

For the purposes of determining whether or not the layer allows the current edit type, a value of "NA" is always considered allowed.

Possible Values:"INSERT" |"UPDATE" |"DELETE" |"NA"

Default Value:"NA"

editable Property editable Booleanreadonly

Indicates if the input is editable.

editable Property editable Booleanreadonly

Indicates if the field is editable. The field must be editable for all layers associated with the input for this property to be true.

existsInAllLayers Property existsInAllLayers Boolean

Indicates whether the input pertains to all the features in the BatchAttributeForm in which the input belongs.

Default Value:true

featuresHaveSameValue Property featuresHaveSameValue Booleanreadonly

Indicates whether all features have the same value for this field.

field Property field Fieldreadonly

The associated field.

fieldName Property fieldName Stringreadonly

The field name as defined by the feature layer.

group Property group GroupInput |null |undefinedreadonly

The group containing the field input.

includeTime Property includeTime Booleanreadonly

Indicates whether time information is included for date and time inputs.

includeTimeOffset Property includeTimeOffset Booleanreadonly

Indicates whether timestamp information is included for date inputs. This property is always false for field types other than timestamp-offset.

Default Value:false

invalidFeatures Property invalidFeatures Graphic[]readonly

An array of features that do not have a valid value for this field.

label Property label String |null |undefinedreadonly

The input's label.

An array of layers included in the BatchAttributeForm. Each layer must support feature editing and field access.

The following layer types are supported:

FeatureLayer
GeoJSONLayer
SceneLayer (with featureLayer property)
SubtypeSublayer
OrientedImageryLayer
KnowledgeGraphSublayer

maxLength Property maxLength Numberreadonly

Restricts the input length. For fields that have no maximum length specified, this property will be -1.

minLength Property minLength Numberreadonly

Restricts the input length. For fields that have no minimum length specified, this property will be -1.

required Property required Booleanreadonly

Indicates whether the field is required. This property will be true if it is required for any of the layers associated with the input.

type Property type Stringreadonly

The type of input.

For FieldInput the type is always "field".

userHasChangedValue Property userHasChangedValue Booleanreadonly

Indicates whether the user has changed the value of this field.

Default Value:false

valid Property valid Booleanreadonly

Indicates whether the field has any validation errors. Evaluates to true if and only if the value of this field is valid for all features.

visible Property visible Booleanreadonly

Indicates whether the input is visible.

Method Overview

Return Type	Summary	Class
	Adds one or more handles which are to be tied to the lifecycle of the object.	Accessor
Boolean	Returns true if a named group of handles exist.	Accessor
	Removes a group of handles owned by the object.	Accessor

Method Details

addHandles Inherited Method addHandles(handleOrHandles, groupKey) Inherited from Accessor

Adds one or more handles which are to be tied to the lifecycle of the object. The handles will be removed when the object is destroyed.

// Manually manage handles
const handle = reactiveUtils.when(
  () => !view.updating,
  () => {
    wkidSelect.disabled = false;
  },
  { once: true }
);

this.addHandles(handle);

// Destroy the object
this.destroy();

Parameters

handleOrHandles WatchHandle|WatchHandle []

Handles marked for removal once the object is destroyed.

groupKey *

optional

Key identifying the group to which the handles should be added. All the handles in the group can later be removed with Accessor.removeHandles(). If no key is provided the handles are added to a default group.

hasHandles Inherited Method hasHandles(groupKey){Boolean} Inherited from Accessor

Returns true if a named group of handles exist.

Parameter

groupKey *

optional

A group key.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	Returns `true` if a named group of handles exist.

Example

// Remove a named group of handles if they exist.
if (obj.hasHandles("watch-view-updates")) {
  obj.removeHandles("watch-view-updates");
}

removeHandles Inherited Method removeHandles(groupKey) Inherited from Accessor

Removes a group of handles owned by the object.

Parameter

groupKey *

optional

A group key or an array or collection of group keys to remove.

Example

obj.removeHandles(); // removes handles from default group

obj.removeHandles("handle-group");
obj.removeHandles("other-handle-group");
