Unable to Enable Sync on Hosted Feature Service View

Question

As suggested by the title, I am unable to enable sync on a hosted feature service view. The feature service that the view is created from has sync enabled. Whenever I click on enable sync on the view i get an error saying: "Save wasn't successful. Try again later." When I look on fiddler I just see "Error 500".

Unfortunately, I cant republish the original hosted feature service as Users have it checked out for field work. This fix was suggested to me by Esri Tech Support. I hope there is another way to fix this.

Anyone ever run into this issue?

It may be because you need some sort of Global ID field in your data to enable sync.

Solution that worked for me (I was working with a .CSV):

--- I took the CSV into ArcGIS Pro

--- Added it into my geodatabase

--- Ran the 'Add Global ID' tool

--- Ran 'XY Table to Point' tool

--- Published the new layer to ArcGIS Online where I was able to enable sync

NOTE: at first, I simply created a hosted feature layer from my CSV and tried to enable sync, which did not work.

I wanted to do this as well, but found out that you cannot Enable the sync:

Hello Eveyone,

I also need to enable Sync on a vie because I need to take the Layer offline.

I found this: Manage hosted feature layer editing—ArcGIS Online Help | Documentation where it is stated "You cannot enable editing or synchronization on hosted feature layer views created as a result of running the Join Features tool."

But I really need to take a Layer Offline which must be a view between 2 Hosted Features. Is there a way to create such a View without using the Join Feature tool?

Thanks you very much for any suggestions!!
