Add a multi-layer view to a webmap using add_layer adds layers individually in reverse, not as a group layer

Dirk_Vandervoort

webmap_item = gis.content.get(webmap_id)
view_item = gis.content.get(view_id)
# interrogate webmap_item to get a specific lyr to remove
wm = WebMap(webmap_item)
wm.remove_layer(lyr)
wm.update() # success
wm.add_layer(view_item)
wm.update() # partial success, partial fail
# item is added but as individual layers in reverse order

The result of line 7 is that each layer contained in the view gets added to the WebMap individually in reverse order, not as a single GroupLayer.

I would like to add the hosted feature layer view as a single GroupLayer to the WebMap.

TIA

Python API 2.4.0 now supports Group Layers

 

Edits to your code for this to work in 2.4.0:

webmap_item = gis.content.get(webmap_id)
view_item = gis.content.get(view_id)
wm = Map(item=webmap_item)
wm.content.remove(0) #index of layer to remove
wm.update()
wm.content.add(view_item)
wm.update()
