Symbology not updating after attribute edit

MatthewKing — Wed, 29 Jun 2022 18:01:23 GMT

I have a layer with the symbology based off a certain field in the attribute table. In EB when doing an update to that field, it should change the symbology (in this case a red point to a green point), but it ends up taking a few minutes for that to happen. Is there the app can be configured to update the symbology/map immediately after the edit? To make the edit go through one has to click the "update" button so you would think that should be the trigger.

Thanks!

Matt

Thanks for the post. The length of time for updating the attribute relies more on the environment, e.g. network, database. Unfortunately, we cannot control it by configuring it.

@TianWen thanks for the quick reply. I know that you can change the map interval in either the web map itself or EB, and that helps a bit, but like I mentioned in the original post, it seems like once you click the "update" button the map should update (especially b/c in my situation it's a hosted feature layer). We did find a work-around, once the attribute table is updated if you zoom in or out, the symbology will change.

The map actually does get updated once the edit is applied, so the problem could be sth. else. I think a sample app or data would be helpful to better investigate the problem.

@TianWen thanks! I'll come up with a sample app. I would let you try the specific one I'm dealing with but it's info that I don't want public. Is there a group that I could share this to so that you can see the issue?

@TianWen sorry I haven't replied yet. I want to create a copy of the data b/c I don't want the original to be used for testing...and I haven't had the chance to get around to it...but it'll be soon 🙂
