Publish a Map Image Layer with Feature Service Enabled - Feature Layer Not Nested - Using arcpy

Is it possible to publish a single layer programmatically so that it is not nested in it's Feature Service. When I publish a layer using the below script and I add the resulting Feature Service to Pro from Portal, it adds as a nested layer - My Layer\My Layer - but if you publish a Layer using the normal workflow from Pro by right clicking the Layer in the contents pane and selecting Sharing > Share As Web Layer, adding it to the project will only add the inner layer, not the nested layer.

Not sure if that makes sense but can try explain more clearly if required. Following screenshots might help to clarify as well.

I'm using the following code to do the publishing:

aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("CURRENT") m = aprx.activeMap #check that the map is valid if m == None: utils.logAndNotify(logger, "No Map is currently active", "ERROR") return #get the layer lyr = m.listLayers(lyrName)[0] #get and set the values in the SD draft utils.logAndNotify(logger, "Setting values to use in the SD draft") sdd = m.getWebLayerSharingDraft("FEDERATED_SERVER", "MAP_IMAGE", lyrName, lyr) sdd.federatedServerUrl = svrDict[db]['server'] sdd.description = desc sdd.tags = tags sdd.serverFolder = svrDict[db]['folder'] #export to SD draft file utils.logAndNotify(logger, "Exporting to file") sdd.exportToSDDraft(sddFile) #read the output xml file utils.logAndNotify(logger, "Updating the SDD XML file") sddXml = md.parse(sddFile) xmlKeys = sddXml.getElementsByTagName("Key") xmlValues = sddXml.getElementsByTagName("Value") #set sharing settings everyone = "false" group = "false" #set values required for i in range(xmlKeys.length): if xmlKeys[i].firstChild.nodeValue == "PackageUnderMyOrg": xmlValues[i].firstChild.nodeValue = org if xmlKeys[i].firstChild.nodeValue == "PackageIsPublic": xmlValues[i].firstChild.nodeValue = everyone if xmlKeys[i].firstChild.nodeValue == "PackageShareGroups": xmlValues[i].firstChild.nodeValue = group if xmlKeys[i].firstChild.nodeValue == "CallingContext": xmlValues[i].firstChild.nodeValue = "0" if xmlKeys[i].firstChild.nodeValue == "useMapServiceLayerID": xmlValues[i].firstChild.nodeValue = "true" #get the type name nodes typeNameNodes = sddXml.getElementsByTagName("TypeName") for typeNameNode in typeNameNodes: if typeNameNode.firstChild.data != "MapServer": continue utils.logAndNotify(logger, "Setting MAP SERVER settings") #get the parent node parentNode = typeNameNode.parentNode #loop through the first child for node1 in parentNode.childNodes: if node1.tagName != "Definition": continue #loop through the second child for node2 in node1.childNodes: if node2.tagName not in ["Info", "ConfigurationProperties","Props"]: continue #loop through third child - property array for propArray in node2.childNodes: #set the timezone details if node2.tagName == "ConfigurationProperties": dtPropSet = sddXml.createElement("PropertySetProperty") attr = sddXml.createAttribute("xsi:type") attr.value = "typens:PropertySetProperty" dtPropSet.setAttributeNode(attr) dtKey = sddXml.createElement("Key") txt = sddXml.createTextNode("dateFieldsTimezoneID") dtKey.appendChild(txt) dtPropSet.appendChild(dtKey) dtValue = sddXml.createElement("Value") attr = sddXml.createAttribute("xsi:type") attr.value = "xs:string" dtValue.setAttributeNode(attr) txt = sddXml.createTextNode("W. Australia Standard Time") dtValue.appendChild(txt) dtPropSet.appendChild(dtValue) propArray.appendChild(dtPropSet) #loop through the property array for propSet in propArray.childNodes: #loop through the property set for prop in propSet.childNodes: if prop.tagName == "Key": if prop.firstChild.data == "WebCapabilities": prop.nextSibling.firstChild.data = "Map,Query,Data" elif prop.firstChild.data == "maxRecordCount": prop.nextSibling.firstChild.data = f"{maxRecords}" elif prop.firstChild.data in ["MinInstances", "MaxInstances"]: prop.nextSibling.firstChild.data = f"{minMax}" elif prop.firstChild.data == "provider": prop.nextSibling.firstChild.data = "DMaps" if instanceType == "SHARED" else "ArcObjects11" #set the feature service settings for typeNameNode in typeNameNodes: if typeNameNode.firstChild.data != "FeatureServer": continue utils.logAndNotify(logger, "Setting FEATURE SERVER settings") #get the parent node parentNode = typeNameNode.parentNode #loop through the first child for node1 in parentNode.childNodes: if node1.tagName not in ["Info", "Enabled", "Props"]: continue #enable the setting if node1.tagName == "Enabled": node1.firstChild.data = "true" continue #loop through third child - property array for propArray in node1.childNodes: #loop through the property array for propSet in propArray.childNodes: #loop through the property set for prop in propSet.childNodes: if prop.tagName == "Key": if prop.firstChild.data == "WebCapabilities": prop.nextSibling.firstChild.data = "Query,Sync,Extract" elif prop.firstChild.data == "maxRecordCount": prop.nextSibling.firstChild.data = f"{maxRecords}" #output the values with open(sddFile, "w") as f: sddXml.writexml(f) #stage service utils.logAndNotify(logger, "Staging service") arcpy.server.StageService(sddFile, sdFile) #share utils.logAndNotify(logger, "Pushing to Portal") arcpy.server.UploadServiceDefinition(sdFile, svrDict[db]['server'])

I've encountered the same problem, did you ever find a solution?
