Change default layer in operations dashboard web map

Question

The web map that I'm using to build my dashboard has multiple layers.  When I load the dashboard it uses the layers that were turned on when saved as the default display layers.  For this dashboard, I want to display a different layer in the web map as the default. I can add the layer to the layer selection, but then I have to change the layer whenever the dashboard.  I would prefer to not save a new web map with that as the default layer as the workaround.

I'm also interested in this functionality. We have a number of dashboards compiled in an Experience Builder, but each dashboard has to run off it's each web map, which creates a lot of duplication. The ability to toggle default layers would be hugely beneficial--- the kind of functionality in a StoryMap where you can edit a map in place to show a different default view/layer.

Hello,

I am trying to do something similar: have two dashboards with different default visible layers based on the same webmap. Can you advise how you were able to do this without duplicating the underlying webmap?

Thank you

Chris,

I just got off the phone with Matt from ESRI support and the issue is related to a bug in ArcGIS Server 10.3.1 that is now fixed and not an issue with Operations Dashboard.
