Attachment Viewer Instant App - No "Hide Features without Attachments" option

Question

I am using the Attachment Viewer Instant App to share point feature locations and attached site photos. There use to be an option to "Hide Features without Attachments" so that you only see sites with photos, but I can no longer find this option in the app set up.

This blog refers to the fact that this option exists, but I can not find the option in my set up (see attached screen shot that shows the options in my "Interactivity">"Modify" and the fact that empty attachment squares are being displayed in my app).

Am I missing something?

@RyanLibed  can you use Arcade to prevent deletion of attachments as the feature service settings (where delete is turned off) are not being honored.

I think the workaround would require a manual update. The setting has been deprecated due to performance taking a hit when enabled, however, we are looking into an alternate approach on hiding feature without attachments, out of the box, through a lightweight operation. I will post any updates here.

Thanks,

Thanks for this update, Ryan.

This workaround will do for now, but the functionality of being able to remove from the Attachment Viewer any sites without an attachment was a very useful part of that tool.

Do you have any recommendations for ways to automate the attachment field calculation, or do I manually have to go in regularly to update this? I am working with live data that is constantly getting updated, which is why I appreciated the functionality of automatically removing using the previously available setting.
