Has anyone been successful in implementing a method for editing an annotation feature class?

  Hi Rebecca,

   

  I don't think this is possible from the HTML5 viewer, but this is a limitation from the ArcGIS for Server side rather than from the HTML5 viewer side.  Annotation cannot be published as a feature service (http://server.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/publish-services/windows/author-feature-services.htm) , so it is not possible to edit it from its map service REST enpoint.

   

  The one attribute that should technically be possible to edit from the HTML5 viewer is the text string (label) for the annotation.  If the feature class that the annotation is associated with is published as a feature service, you should be able to edit whichever field is being labelled using the HTML5 viewer. Then the annotation text string would change along with it thanks to the underlying relationship.

   

  Hope this helps,

   

  Amanda
