Hi Devs,<br>
<br>
I'm continuing my upgrade of my old vector editing implementation
from the Geomoose 2.6 old editing tools to Geomoose 2.8 WFS-T
editing tools.<br>
<br>
In my old 2.6 version I used a Geomoose Custom Input Type
extension to set vector attributes in my "create polygon" service (I
hacked some JS to to get an ID value from a drop-down box and set
the polygon's hidden input value).<br>
<br>
But 2.8's WFS-T editing does not use a service defined in the
mapbook to create a feature (it relies on OpenLayers), so no Custom
Input Types for WFS-T. It <i>does </i>allow the configuration of
attributes in the mapsource so they are listed in a dialog for user
input, and it is possible to give them a type of "hidden" and a
default value so they are not shown to the user (looking good!) <br>
<br>
However, there is no Geomoose API method to change the attribute
values programmatically like there is for mapsource params
(UpdateParams). Thoughts? Comments?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
