I am trying to update the feature layer collection (change syncEnabled to True, add or remove editing capabilities) and have the same code as above, but get a runtime error: "Error performing update definition operation (error code: 500)" and cannot change the properties. I've also attempted to send a post request to change the Feature Service properties, but that does not change the properties either (no error is thrown, and printing out the post response does not seem to be an error either). My code, after publishing the Feature Service is:
#configure Feature Layer properties
gis = GIS(PORTAL_URL, USERNAME, PASSWORD)
search_result = gis.content.search(service_name, 'Feature Layer')
fl_item = search_result[0]
fl_flc = FeatureLayerCollection.fromitem(fl_item)
update_dict = {"capabilities": "Query", "syncEnabled": True}
print(fl_flc.properties) # you can see the properties targeted to be changed listed, they just do not get changed
fl_flc.manager.update_definition({"syncEndabled": True})#update_dict) # this throws the 500 error
"""
# trying this a different way--post changes directly
import requests
URL = PORTAL_URL
r = requests.post(URL, update_dict)
print(r.text) # this prints the return html listed below
"""
commented out code's print statement displays:
HTML Request:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<script src="login/config/dojo.js"></script>
<script src="jsapi/dojo/dojo.js"></script>

require(["login", "dojo/domReady!"], function(login) {
login.run();
});
</script>
</head>

</html>
I am ultimately trying to automate the publishing of feature classes to Feature Services then bundle several Feature Services into a shared web map (must be automated as the underlying feature classes can vary from map to map, and there are hundreds of map needed to be shared).
