Search options resetting

DustinSellinger — Wed, 02 Nov 2022 15:21:41 GMT

I have a webmap that I need search to only work on layer attributes, not on address locations. Nearly every time I make edits to the map the search settings are reset and I need to add the 5 search layers back and remove the address checkbox. Happened 4 times yesterday and was reset when pulling my work up this morning.

Few questions:

Where are you authoring the map?

What kind of changes are you making to the map?

Can you share the map showing the problem?

It's a arcgis.com map made from a feature layer from the Water Distribution Data Management solution.

The only changes being made are modifications to offline settings, more troubles there.

I did removed the linked tables yesterday and the search settings seemed to have stayed put overnight so that's a good sign.

I had excactly same issue and I figured out it was a webmap performance issue. If map loads slowly enough and you go to look settings before map loading is done these search options looks like resetted. If you just patiently wait that layers load search field gets populated normally. So at least one reason for this issue is that when you look settings before webmap is not fully loaded.

How it went in your case @DustinSellinger couple of years ago?
