Group layers in Feature Service and save it to the service (as you can do for symbols, labels and pop-ups)

[CarolineLindhe]

Since groups are ungrouped when publishing a Feature Service from ArcGIS Pro you should be able to group layers and save the groups in the Vizualisation tab. You can save symbology, labels and pop-ups. 

This would be very helpful since some services contain many layers and are used in many different maps. It takes time to group in Map Viewer for every map needed.

Hi, @CarolineLindhe, 

Thanks for sharing your idea. Are you familiar with Saving Group Layers in Map Viewer? https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-online/mapping/5-tips-for-easier-editing-in-map-vie... That might help you in the mean time.

Thanks @EmilyGeo. Not exactly the perfect solution but a good enough work around. We will have a difficult time making the end users understand that they should pick the group layer instead of the feature service to their maps when adding content. 

If it would be possible to add this option to the original Feature Service as well it would help!

Thanks again!
