ArcGIS Online Field Maps Template

I have a web map that contains some layers that are used with a field map project.

How do I turn this into a template that can be reused?

If I add it into a web map and rename and save, the layers are still pointing to the layers from the original project and as such if I edit the data, in either, it reflects in both.

There isn't an easy out-the-box way to do this. Which, IMO is madness. However, we have developed a successful way of achieving it by using the python "clone_items" functionality. Whilst it is designed to transfer content from one portal to another, it works fine if the source and target portal are the same

Hi @LIZDean,

When you say 'template,' are you asking how you can create a new empty dataset that uses the same schema as the one in your existing webmap? If so you have some options.

In ArcGIS Online, one option is to create a new item (feature layer) in ArcGIS Online using the existing layer as your template:
