Some features of web layer don't publish to AGOL

Question

Hello All,

I have a created a simple map in Pro -- with one point layer and two polygon layers -- that is part of a StoryMap Tour. One of the layers consists of 61 polygons, but when I publish the map and layers in AGOL, only 56 of the polygons make it over. I tried creating a feature class of the missing 5 polygons and adding them to the layer within AGOL, but only one polygon was added. I cleared my browser's cache and tried again, but again only 56 of the 61 polygons showed up.

All of the polygons in this layer are buffered streams, some being more complex drainages that are multipart, and some are singular streams. But both singular and multipart features have made it over, so I haven't been able to figure out why only these 6 are omitted every time I publish. No filters have been incorporated. I'm using Pro 3.4.2, and this happened before the June update.

Any thoughts on why this might be happening? I was looking for some documentation about features that AGOL doesn't like...but didn't find anything to clarify. Any insights would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

Janet

If you can share the data with me I can take a look. You can DM me a message with a zipped gdb.

thanks!

@RussRoberts  Thanks for that, Russ. This is creating an even greater mystery!

I ran Check Geometry, and it showed 4 features that were "non simple"...however only 2 of the 4 were ones that didn't show before. Weird. I ran Repair Geometry and published the layers again. This time in AGOL, the attribute table indicated all 61 features were there, but when I looked at some of the problem ones, their geometries weren't showing. More weird.

I went back to Pro and ran Check and Repair again (no issues), published to AGOL again, and this time 3 different features weren't showing, neither in the attribute table nor their geometries.

I don't get it. This is just so bizarre...and frustrating!

In Pro can you run the feature class through this tool and make sure the validation method is OGC. Possibly that could be a reason why a feature is dropped.
