Attribute Fields not showing for new layers published to AGO

RyanBohan — Wed, 24 Jul 2024 22:35:15 GMT

I have created a layer and Shared as web layer to ArcGIS Online. For some reason all the Attribute Fields hidden by default.

I can manually add them back in each time.

How do I get my attributes to show by default?
I double checked in Pro and have not changed any of my publishing settings. I am Publishing from Pro 2.9.5

You could try adding the local layer to a fresh aprx and republishing from there (making sure none of the fields are hidden in the attribute table of the local layer first).

I would also suggest upgrading to the latest version of Pro if possible. I've had various weird issues that are sometimes fixed by upgrading.

Edit: the fields that are displayed in the popup on the local layer in Pro may affect which fields are visible by default in the published layer's data table, so you may want to check that too.

Hi @jmaxwell_braun, great idea. I will test publishing from a new project file.

With the old Visualization tab we could easily add/remove attributes to be displayed under Data.

(shown from portal 10.9.1)
How do we add attributes in AGO currently?

You can still adjust the attributes for popups, like in your screenshot, from the Visualization tab. After you're in the tab, select the layer from the layer list on the left side, then click the popups icon on the right side. You can adjust attribute display in the Fields List. Maybe that would affect what you're seeing under the Data tab too.

Do the layers that are behaving this way have popups enabled in the Pro Map that you are publishing? If you disable the popup and republish, do the fields appear? Having a similar issue and disabling the popup fixed it. Not a long term solution, but a clue to what may be happening.

@MariaGiarrusso - Good tip, thanks! Fixed my similar problem using ArcGIS Pro 3.5.6 with ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5.0. Of course, I then had to go do the pop-up configuration work again, but such is life in Esri-land.
