Create joined hosted view using first layer shape and second layer attachments

When you create a joined hosted feature layer view, the view retains the shape (geometry) and the attachments of the target layer/table.

Is it possible to programmatically use the shape of the target layer and the attachments of the joined layer (or vice versa)?

I tried "forcing" the geometryField of the relatedTable (join) as below, but it doesn't work (the join worked, but geometry seems empty/not valid).

{ "layers": [ { "name": "name", "displayField": "", "description": "", "adminLayerInfo": { "viewLayerDefinition": { "table": { "name": "layer_target", "sourceServiceName": "name of target service", "sourceLayerId": 0, "sourceLayerFields": ["*"], "relatedTables": [ { "name": "layer_join", "sourceServiceName": "name of join service", "sourceLayerId": 0, "sourceLayerFields": ["*"], "type": "LEFT", "parentKeyFields": ["id"], "keyFields": ["id"], "topFilter": { "groupByFields": "id", "orderByFields": "id ASC", "topCount": 1 } } ], "materialized": false } }, "geometryField": { "name": "layer_join.SHAPE" } } } ] }

I need the polygon shape from one layer and the attachments from the other.

I realize I could copy the attachments, but wondering if there is a simpler way, such as in a view.

Any ideas? Thanks!
