Edit Dynamic Image Collection attribute table

How can I use the Python API to edit the attribute table of an existing hosted dynamic image collection so I can set a date?

Using ArcGIS Pro, I manually created a mosaic dataset with time enabled and published as a hosted dynamic image collection to ArcGIS Online.

Now, using ArcGIS API for Python, I want to automate adding new images to the collection with dates. However, I cannot see anywhere that lets you set the date attribute.

I used these Dev Summit examples to add images to the collection:

https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=306f5e24e56c4766858ecfab37206455

and tried:

sdf = fs.layers[0].query().sdf sdf.loc[index, 'acquisitionDate'] = pd.to_datetime('2025-01-01 00:00:00', format='ISO8601').to_datetime64() fs.layers[0].edit_features(updates=[sdf])

but it returns the error

AttributeError: 'ImageryLayer' object has no attribute 'edit_features'

Thanks in advance 🙂
