Add feature collection as item in the GIS

lightpro — Wed, 01 Sep 2021 06:56:15 GMT

I am trying to add a feature collection as an item in the GIS without much success. I've an existing layer that I query to get a subset of the features. From this I create a feature collection as in the code below. No problems here.

feat_set = mylyr.query(where="OBJECTID>500") feat_collect = arcgis.features.FeatureCollection.from_featureset(feat_set) feat_collect

I then try to add this as a new item in the GIS by inserting as a text item.

item_properties = {'title': 'Temp', 'description':'Temp', 'tags': 'temp', 'text':feat_collect.properties, 'type':'Feature Collection'} append_featurecollection_item = gis.content.add(item_properties) append_featurecollection_item

This kind of works. The item is created and appears in the GIS and I can see the data table is populated. When I try to view the item in the map viewer I get the following message however.

Clearly I'm missing something which I suspect is related to the JSON I'm adding to the item as text. I'm guessing my JSON is incomplete as I'm just adding my featurecollection.properties. I haven't been able to figure out the correct format however.

Does anyone know what I'm missing?

Hi @lightpro ,

It should work.

You also have the option to add spatial reference to the item properties.

item_properties = {'title': 'Temp', 'description':'Temp', 'tags': 'temp', 'text':feat_collect.properties, 'type':'Feature Collection', 'spatialReference':'WGS_1984_Web_Mercator'} append_featurecollection_item = gis.content.add(item_properties)

alternatively, you can test it on another feature layer.
