Using ArcGIS API for Javascript 4, I want to create a drop-down list in the view that is dynamically populated based on the values available in a layer. When users select a value from this drop down and click a button, I want to query those features matching the value in the drop menu and have them appear on the map.

I've combined some elements from the following two tutorials for this:

https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/sample-code/tasks-query/index.html https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/sample-code/featurelayer-query/index.html

I can get the attributes to populate in the drop down list. However, clicking the button to query returns the following error message: "Promise rejected: Cannot perform query. Invalid query parameters."

I'm hoping this is just something simple I've overlooked, but I can't seem to find the issue. I am copying and pasting the complete code in case that's easiest to drop into CodePen or elsewhere to work with.

"MajBasin" is the name of the field in the attribute table containing the basin names that are visible in the drop down.

When setting params.where, the field name before the attribute value was missing. Thus, the updated code that builds a working query is:

params.where =
            "MajBas =" + "'" + basinTypeSelect.value + "'";

I populated the dropdowns by reading a json file.
