KML linkName, linkSnippet, and linkDescription are not refreshed in the Data window

[BillClark]

<linkName>, <linkSnippet>, and <linkDescription> of the KML <NetworkLinkControl> are not refreshed in the Data window

Only the initial <NetworkLink> <name>, <Snippet>, and <description> are displayed.

Note that the NetworkLinkControl items are correctly refreshed in the data itself.  For example, when the network link is clicked in the Data window, we can see that the description is updated.

And if the network link is right-clicked and saved from the Data window, we can see the updated information in the KMZ file.

However, none of it is refreshed in the ArcGIS Earth Data window.

Hi @BillClark 

Thank you for reporting the issues. We will try to fix it in the upcoming (this November) release of Earth 1.14.

Best,

Thank you, Hope this is still on the list.  It apparently did not make it into 1.14

Best regards,

Hi @BillClark ,

Thanks for reaching out to us regarding this issue.   

Definitely,  I'm glad to share that the NetworkLinkControl items have been already supported since ArcGIS Earth 1.14.   Currently, we just released 1.15,  this feature is supported at both versions.   

I tested via my data with NetworkLinkControl,  and found the items can be refreshed expectedly. 

Would you mind if you share the testing data and the steps to us, with which you encountered this failure ?  Screenshots will also help.

so I can do deeper testing on this issue to investigate whether data specific issue or software defect.

Please feel free to send email to ArcGISEarth_Feedback <ArcGISEarth_Feedback@esri.com>

Looking forward to your feedback !  🙂

Best,

Sharon

As of version 2.2 <linkName>, <linkSnippet>, and <linkDescription> are still not updated.  Also, while a different topic, complex css styles in names and snippets are not supported.  For example,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2" xmlns:gx="http://www.google.com/kml/ext/2.2" xmlns:kml="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
<Folder>
<name><![CDATA[<span style='color: magenta; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; font-family: Georgia;'>Name - Magenta</span>]]></name>
<Snippet maxLines='1'><![CDATA[<span style='color: darkorange; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold;'>Snippet - DarkOrange</span>]]></Snippet>
<visibility>0</visibility>
</Folder>
</kml>

Thanks @BillClark for the feedback.

We'll bring the testing data back for deep-dive testing and keep you updated.

Not sure if you have tried the linkName, linkSnippet, and linkDescription in KML Spec 2.1 on your side?

Please feel free to let us know if any questions.

Thank you again.
