Now that we have Exclusive Visibility (radio buttons) for grouped layers, users should be able to easily toggle between layers in a dashboard.
There is a map legend dashboard element, but without a similar layer list element, it takes 3 clicks for users to switch layers:
- Turn on the layer list (because it cannot be opened by default)
- Expand the layer group
- Select a layer
Dashboards are intended to be used by the public, and the steps to choose a layer are not clear to users who don't regularly work with the ArcGIS Online Map Viewer.
This is based on the forum post and idea suggested by @KrystalPhaneuf3. Esri closed the idea in October 2022 and asked that it be resubmitted for consideration.
