Bug with append using ArcGIS API for Python

GeeteshSingh07 — Mon, 08 Apr 2024 09:42:26 GMT

Hi everyone,

Has anyone experience a bug with append module in Portal for ArcGIS?

Append shapefile to feature layer -> doesn't work

Append featureCollection to feature layer -> doesn't work

Append CSV to feature layer -> works

However, in ArcGIS Online everything works fine.

Please let me know if anyone this is a bug or if there is any workaround.

Hi @GeeteshSingh07,

Can you post some of the code that is not working for you?

@JakeSkinner thank you for looking into it. Yes, the code is:

---------------

poly_layer = gis.content.get("e7e052cc4ad044798c4f5a6c893f20a3")

target_FL = poly_layer.layers[0]

status= target_FL.append(item_id="0472cbe2496c48e580f56d5c04155182", upload_format='shapefile',

field_mappings=[{"name":"OBJECTID", "source":"FID"}],

append_fields=["OBJECTID"])

status

-------------------

Here, target_FL is feature layer on ArcGIS Portal & "0472cbe2496c48e580f56d5c04155182" is itemID of a shapefile.

Also, if we use featureCollection instead of shapefile, it doesn't work either.

Thank you @DanPatterson. I'm facing issue with 'Append feature' function in API for python. I believe these bugs are for arcpy 'Append tool'....

You might be better off going to the github site and examining the issues section

Issue search results (github.com)

since "append" will use either arcpy or shapely methods depending on installation
