Apply Edits (Operation)

URL	`http://<featureservice-url>/applyEdits` (POST only)
Parent Resource	Feature Service
Required Capability	Create,Update,Delete //Create required to add features, Update required to update features and Delete required for deleting features.

Description

This operation is supported from 10.1 onwards.

This apply edits operation applies edits to features associated with multiple layers or tables in a single call (POST only). This operation is performed on a feature service resource. The result of this operation are arrays of edit results for each layer/table edited. Each edit result identifies a single feature on a layer or table and indicates if the edits were successful or not. If not, it also includes an error code and an error description.

You can provide arguments to the Apply Edits operation as query parameters defined in the parameters table below.

Parameters

Parameter	Details
f	Description: The response format. The default response format is html. Values: html\|json
edits	Description: The array of layers to be edited. Features to be added or updated to a feature layer should include the geometry. Records to be added or updated to a table should not include the geometry. For features that are updated, the attributes property of the feature should include the object id (and the global id, if available) of the feature along with the other attributes: "attributes" : { "OBJECTID" : 37, "OWNER" : "Joe Smith", "VALUE" : 94820.37, "APPROVED" : true, "LASTUPDATE" : 1227667627940 } Syntax: [ { "id" : <layerId1>, "adds" : [<feature1>, <feature2>], "updates" : [<feature1>, <feature2>], "deletes" : [<objectID1>, <objectID2>] }, { "id" : <layerId2>, "adds" : [<feature1>, <feature2>], "updates" : [<feature1>, <feature2>], "deletes" : [<objectID1>, <objectID2>] } ] Example: [ { "id" : 0, "adds" : [ { "geometry" : { "x": -143.501, "y": 57.043000000000006 }, "attributes" : { "datetime" : 1272210710000, "depth" : 31.100000000000001, "region" : "Andreanof Islands, Aleutian Islands, Alaska" } }, { "geometry" : { "x" : -72.865099999999927, "y" : -37.486599999999953 }, "attributes" : { "datetime" : 1272210142999, "depth" : "40.x", "region" : "Bio-Bio, Chile" } } ], "updates" : [ { "geometry" : { "x" : -149.450, "y" : 60.120 }, "attributes" : { "OBJECTID" : 50, "datetime" : 1272210710000, "region" : "Andreanof Islands, Aleutian Islands, Alaska" } } ], "deletes" : [ 19,23 ] }, { "id" : 1, "deletes" : [ 34,44 ] } ]
gdbVersion	Description: GeoDatabase version to apply the edits. This parameter applies only if `hasVersionedData` property of the service and `isDataVersioned` property of the layer(s) edited are `true`. If this is not specified, edits are made to published map’s version. Syntax: version=<version> Example: version=sde.default
rollbackOnFailure	Description: Optional parameter to specify if the edits should be applied only if all submitted edits succeed. If false, server will keep the edits that succeed even if some of the submitted edits fail. If true, server will keep the edits only if all edits succeed. The default value is true. Not all data supports setting this parameter. Query the supportsRollbackonFailureParameter property of the layer to determine whether or not a layer supports setting this parameter. If supportsRollbackonFailureParameter = false for a layer, then when editing this layer, rollbackOnFailure will always be true, regardless of how the parameter is set. However, if supportsRollbackonFailureParameter = true, this means the rollbackOnFailure parameter can be set to true or false on edit operations. Syntax: `rollbackOnFailure=true\|false` Example: `rollbackOnFailure=true`
