Editing Feature Layer Attributes
I've created a workflow that allows a user to choose a file using the File Picker, copies the file to another location, then places the name of the file in one of the attribute fields of my feature layer. This workflow works great if I use the Editor Tools to hand draw the geometry. However, I have another workflow that copies parcel(s) the user selects into this feature layer. When using my new workflow with the file picker on features added by the previous workflow, it will not place the file name in the attributes. Just wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts as to why this happens before I open a new support ticket with Latitude.
Thanks!

Hi Sara
any chance that you are prepared to share those workflows to get a better idea of your sequncing?

Hi Sara
my first suggestion is to see if you can untangle the flowchart to:
- simply the flow to a casual user
- ensure that all activities have sensible entry or exit points. see question marks in image below (use different entry points in the activites so that the loop backs are clear).
- if that are activities that are always going together then maybe put those into a sequence activity to 'simplify' the workflow visually at least. ie things that happen post-selection
That might help for a start.

The ones you have question marks by are just various things I was trying and just unhooked them but didn't delete them altogether.

Hi Sara
in your 'graphics' workflow you set link 1, 2 or 3 only if the field is nothing as compared to an empty string ie ""
(nothing is quite different from "")
You could try changing your PZCases dataset so that the deafult value for the link fields are '' and then you could change your set attributes sequence If statements to be along the lines of
graphic.Attributes("Link1") = ""
instead.
Does that make sense?

Hi again Sara
Have you also thought about combining the two workflows?

I will give that a try. I disn't want to put them in the same workflow because at the time the parcels are copied into this Planning & Zoning Cases Feature Layer, the links for meeting minutes and documentation have not been made yet. Those have to be added after the fact. I guess I could try putting it in the same workflow and give the user the option of skipping the step of copying the parcel to add to the feature layer.
Thanks for the suggestions!

Hi Sara,
Did you get this to work? I am trying to do the same thing, add a file name from the file picker to an attribute field. I've tried to modify the Service Request Responder workflow to update an existing feature, but it always errors out with an Unable to complete error. The file name is never written to the attribute field.
Just wondering if you came up with a fix?
Thanks,
Mike

Sara,
Thank you for the workflow.
Did you have problems when it came to updating the feature? This workflow and another that I'm using get hung up on the UpdateFeature activity. I can edit the data manually using the website, but I get an "Unable to complete operation" when I go through the workflow. Everything works great up until the UpdateFeature.
Thanks again,
Mike
