Hosted feature layer view - copy all metadata to view item by default

JohnFannon — Fri, 16 Dec 2022 15:41:30 GMT

When creating a hosted feature layer view from a hosted feature layer, various metadata from the parent layer item is not copied to the view layer item, meaning having to manually copy information between the two.

It would be great if, by default or as an option, when creating a hosted feature layer view, all the metadata from the parent hosted feature layer item was copied to the view layer item, including:

tags
summary
description
credits
terms of use
categories

The user would still have the capability to ammend these once the view item is created.

Entering metadata is such a pain in the neck, having to do it twice on the parent layer and any Views created from the parent layer is mind bogglingly annoying. I can't believe this idea hasn't been implemented. Definitely gets my vote.
