Hello,
Recently my organization made the switch into an Enterprise Environment. Rolled out the Portal, updates servers, etc. We have a number of web maps and apps for end users, presymboloized and configured. This is accomplished by publishing services from ArcMap or web layers from Pro, then consuming the resulting REST endpoint (and its published symbology - important to the issue) in Portal. The web maps are then shared with groups based on the end users' departments.
However, we want the end users to be able to create their own maps to share within their departments by adding hosted feature layers (so they don't have to go to the REST endpoint itself to add data). We hope to accomplish this through department specific Data Stores. Today we added one department's data to a Data Store, resulting in Map Image Layers and Feature Layers for all the data contained within the .sde geodatabase.
Here's the issue: I'd like to be able to apply pre-existing symbology from a previously published REST endpoint to a Map Image Layer or Feature Layer (or both). For example: I have a dataset of dozens of layers of engineering infrastructure (water main lines, valvues, etc). It would be tedious to open each map image layer (containing only one of said dozens of layers), apply the symbology appropriate, save the layer, and move on. Is there a way to capture the symbology that is already present in a published REST enpoint and apply it to an item in Portal?
