Editing a shared hosted feature layer

MarkCederholm1

I'm experimenting with a hosted feature layer in AGOL. When it's shared to everyone, if I open it in a new map with full edit control, the add feature tool doesn't work, and any edits I make won't take. When I unshare it, then everything works fine. Is this normal behavior?

Hi pierssen - are you using Google Chrome for your browser when you see this? Can you try a different browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox) and see if you are able to reproduce the behavior? It sounds like a bug Chrome introduced with version 52.

Thanks,

Chris

Hello,

Are you given write permission to all open users or only you have..
Please check for feature services permission issue..

its depends upon your feature layer security permission(R/W).

Editing is not enabled. I'm editing it as an administrator.

can you share your layer URL...

Here it is: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=bc6bf5d505994ff58c3b3bc41e841faa

I tried creating another layer and ran into exactly the same problem.

if you see on the rest end point

the editing capability is not enabled

Publish again the layer as hosted feature service enabling the editing capabilities

see the result here

I don't want editing enabled: that is by design. However, I should be able to edit through AGOL as an administrator. Again, read my original post. Editing works fine for me when the layer is not shared to Everyone.

I went ahead and tried it in IE, and it worked! I went back to Chrome again, and the same bad behavior. What I don't understand, if this is a Chrome bug, why would editing still work when the layer is not shared?

Thanks for confirming. Requests are a bit different with a layer that is shared publicly vs one that is not. When shared publicly, the requests trigger this issue in Chrome (essentially the browser does not correctly handle certain types of request responses).

The Chrome team has acknowledged this as a regression and is planning to patch the current version (this issue is already fixed in future versions of Chrome, yet to be released). Should be available as a browser update fairly soon.
