Legend not updating when layers are reordered/added

GeorgeSimpson — Sat, 11 Dec 2021 17:38:33 GMT

I've modified the sample for reordering layers found at: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jssamples_start.htm#jssamples/layers_dynamic_reorder.html to include a legend. When the layers are reordered or when the lakes layer is added, the legend does not reflect the change.

Here's my code:

This is a bug. We will fix that in the release of 3.2.
Thanks for reporting this.

I am having a similar problem. I removed a layer and restarted the map service, and while other edits I made in the mxd are reflected in my webapp, the legend still contains the removed layer. Is this also related to this bug? I am using v3.1.

Same problem with Javascript API 3.2. If I add a Layer to the visibleLayers-Array of a DynamicMapServiceLayer the legend does not automatically refresh. I must call legend.refresh() to refresh it. In the legend only the Layers are displayed which are loaded at the start of the webmp 😞

But my main problem is that the legend does not refreshes at the print task. There is always shown the original legend with the maps from the webMap after loading 😞
