How do I update the location of a feature in an AGOL hosted Feature Layer?

Question

I am trying to randomly move a feature in an AGOL layer. The layer has a geometry property that is in web mercator and lat/long (WGS84) fields in the attribute table. Anyone know how I can update the location of the feature AND keep the lat/long fields in sync? This is what I have tried: latitude = feature.get_value("lat") longitude = feature.get_value("long") geometry = feature.get_value("geometry") print (f"The latitude is {latitude}") print (f"The longitude is {longitude}") print (f"The geometry is {geometry}") feature.set_value("lat", feature.get_value("lat")+random.uniform(0,1)) feature.set_value("long", feature.get_value("long")+random.uniform(0,1)) latitude = feature.get_value("lat") longitude = feature.get_value("long") geometry = feature.get_value("geometry") print (f"The latitude is {latitude}") print (f"The longitude is {longitude}") print (f"The geometry is {geometry}") geometry_dict = feature.get_value("geometry") geometry_dict['x'] += random.uniform(0,10) geometry_dict['y'] += random.uniform(0,10) feature.set_value("geometry", geometry_dict) print (f"The latitude is {latitude}") print (f"The longitude is {longitude}") print (f"The geometry is {geometry}") ''' The code above results in the following output: The latitude is 43.8849 The longitude is -100.3152 The geometry is {'x': -11167036.982825391, 'y': 5447647.436134641} The latitude is 44.38470494318065 The longitude is -99.40659382285271 The geometry is {'x': -11167036.982825391, 'y': 5447647.436134641} The latitude is 44.38470494318065 The longitude is -99.40659382285271 The geometry is {'x': -11167031.21161315, 'y': 5447647.819034746} ''' ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ As you can see, changing the geometry does NOT change the Lat/Long properties. Do I have to do a conversion and update these fields separately? What would be the most efficient way to do this?

One way is by using projectAs. # WGS 1984 : (4326) Lat/Lon # WGS 1984 Web Mercator (auxiliary sphere) : (102100) or (3857) ptGeometry = arcpy.PointGeometry(arcpy.Point(x,y),arcpy.SpatialReference(4326)).projectAs(arcpy.SpatialReference(3857)) print ptGeometry.firstPoint.X, ptGeometry.firstPoint.Y ‍‍‍‍‍
