Losing popup and widget configurations after republishing

Question

Hi all,

I have an experience builder app that uses a map image layer added to AGOL from a URL from portal. So I publish in Pro to portal, then use the portal URL for that image layer to add the item to AGOL. I save as a web map and then add it to experience builder in AGOL. The problem is when changes are made in the project and I republish I lose all the preconfigured popups and widgets such as 'near me' in experience builder lose all the analysis configuration. I have to re-enable popups in the AGOL webmap( even though they are enabled and configured in the project) and reconfigure experience builder widgets. No problems with layer ID's are discovered in 'analysis' before republishing. This is a long running project and the layer ID's are no longer is sequential order in the project, they dont go 0-1-2-3-4 etc. down the layer list, but there are no duplicates or error/warning messages at the republishing stage. Is this down to the image layer being added from a url to AGOL? I have read the configuration is recorded in a JSON and that is not transferred across when using a url to AGOL. I assume thats the problem but I have read lots of things! Does anyone know whats going on here and have a solution?

Thanks

Dave

Do your popups look correct in Portal after republishing?

Hi Michael,

Thanks again for your help. I guess what I am hoping for is for someone to tell me why this happens in the first place. That way I might be able to fix the workflow to prevent it happening at all!

Regards

Maybe you can make a copy of the Experience Builder and then compare json settings between the copy and the original Experience Builder app in AGOL Assistant after changes are made and it is republished.  Then where you see changes, you can try to copy the json from the copy to the original to see if the settings are maintained.

Hopefully this makes sense.
