The configuration options for displaying an individual field within the FeatureTable widget.
Below are some things to consider when enabling/disabling editing in a field configuration.
Editing permissions can be broken down with the following levels of priority:
- Field - This is derived
from the FeatureLayer or SceneLayer. It takes what is set in the
Field.editable property. This
must always be
truefor editing to be enabled. This can be overriden using a field column configuration. - Config - The editable permissions on a field can be configured by setting the editable property of the FieldColumnConfig.
- FeatureTable - The editingEnabled property must be set on the table in order for any type of editing to be enabled.
For example, if table editing is disabled in the widget, i.e. enableEditing is not set,
it is still possible to enable editing for a specific column by setting the
editable property. Vice versa
is also true, if table editing is enabled, a field configuration can be used to disable editing
for a specific column.
Ultimately, if the service's field is not editable, it is not possible to override its permissions using one of the options above.

Example:// Typical usage for FieldColumnConfig. const fieldConfig1 = new FieldColumnConfig({ name: "FID", label: "ID", // This field will not be shown in the table initially visible: false }); const fieldConfig2 = new FieldColumnConfig({ name: "NAME", label: "School Name", // The table will be sorted by this column // in ascending order direction: "asc" }); // Apply field configs to feature table const featuretable = new FeatureTable({ layer: featureLayer, fieldConfigs: [fieldConfig1, fieldConfig2], container: "tableDiv" });
Property Overview
Property Details
-
The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as
esri.folder.className.
-
The field's description. The description is shown below the field.
-
Controls the sort order of the column. This property will only be honored on one fieldColumn in the FeatureTable widget. If direction is specified on more than one fieldColumn in the same FeatureTable, it will only be honored on the column with the highest index. For example, let's say the first column called
ObjectIdis set toascand another column later in the table order also has a set direction, the initialObjectIdcolumn's direction will be ignored for the last one with the set direction.Possible Value Description asc Sorts the column in ascending order. desc Sorts the column in descending order. null No sort is applied to the column. Possible Values:"asc"|"desc"

A reference to an Arcade expression that returns a boolean value. When this expression evaluates to
trueand the element is visible, the element must have a valid value in order for the feature to be created or edited. When the expression evaluates tofalsethe element is not required. If no expression is provided, the default behavior is that the element is not required. If the referenced field is non-nullable, the required expression is ignored and the element is always required.
