is there a way to create an editable layer in a webapp? I'm trying to set up a map of sites in my city that can be selected by the public and have the layer keep a record of which sites were selected.

would the Edit Widget do this? adding a column in an editable layer create in Online?

You'd need to configure your hosted feature layer (your publicly selectable sites data) by enabling editing on the settings page for it. https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/manage-data/manage-editing-hfl.htm

Then it will be editable within a Web map or using the edit widget in your app.

I guess you could have a field which the users can edit to yes/no etc which is then updated in the data.

I thought there might be more to it than this but the Edit widget is the answer. It allows for a single field to be set as editable by a user which updates the map in realtime in the webapp
