I am trying to add a feature collection as an item in the GIS without much success. I've an existing layer that I query to get a subset of the features. From this I create a feature collection as in the code below. No problems here.
feat_set = mylyr.query(where="OBJECTID>500")
feat_collect = arcgis.features.FeatureCollection.from_featureset(feat_set)
feat_collect
I then try to add this as a new item in the GIS by inserting as a text item.
item_properties = {'title': 'Temp',
'description':'Temp',
'tags': 'temp',
'text':feat_collect.properties,
'type':'Feature Collection'}
append_featurecollection_item = gis.content.add(item_properties)
append_featurecollection_item
This kind of works. The item is created and appears in the GIS and I can see the data table is populated. When I try to view the item in the map viewer I get the following message however.
Clearly I'm missing something which I suspect is related to the JSON I'm adding to the item as text. I'm guessing my JSON is incomplete as I'm just adding my featurecollection.properties. I haven't been able to figure out the correct format however.
Does anyone know what I'm missing?
Hi @lightpro ,
It should work.
You also have the option to add spatial reference to the item properties.
item_properties = {'title': 'Temp',
'description':'Temp',
'tags': 'temp',
'text':feat_collect.properties,
'type':'Feature Collection',
'spatialReference':'WGS_1984_Web_Mercator'}
append_featurecollection_item = gis.content.add(item_properties)
alternatively, you can test it on another feature layer.
