SimpleMarkerSymbol no longer formats outline style in 4.10

In 4.9, the following code creates a circle with a green dotted line as the outline when the map is clicked. In 4.10, it ignores:

style: "short-dot"

Glenn,

Have you reported this bug to esri tech support so that it can be fixed in the 4.11 release coming next month?

Not yet. I have to figure out who the contact is for my company.

From ESRI support:

BUG-000119970:

The indication on the bug is that is actually by design. The JavaScript API at v4.x was never intended to support dashed outlines for marker symbols, so it has been marked as resolved and closed. Unfortunately, you'll not be able to use the short-dot style in your picture marker symbols.

The documentation says that it is supported and it worked up to and including 4.9.

Glenn,

Then you need to request an enhancement.
