widgets losing connection with feature layers after grouping feature layers in webmap

[Stefan_Thorn]

Hi,

I have created a webmap and used this map in an ExB. I use a list widget to give an overview of polygons in a feature layer.

After I have reordered  the feature layers in the webmap, made groups in the webmap, the list widget gives the error "Data is inaccessible". This means I have to go through the list widget(s) to reconnect the data.

This also is occurring with the Edit widget

Hi Stefan_Thorn,

In brief, feature layer and group layer are different layer type. So at first, the widgets read the layer as feature layer, then layer type changed, the widgets couldn't read it. You need to reconnect the data again.

Thanks,

Ke

Hi @Ke_Xu ,

Thank you for your reply. I think this is something to be fixed because this has a big impact on many ExB applications. All widgets in the ExB are effected by this issue. 

i.e. For a client with many sites, we creating ExB applictations for each site. Each site has its own webmap with the same groups and layer structure.

And each ExB have the same setup with several widgets (configurates list widgets, edit widget).

If there is a change in the default webmap layer structure, this must be applied for all sites, and than all ExB applications must be repaired too.

this behaviour is now official a bug.

Additional Information:  ArcGIS Experience Builder references datasets in a web map via a Data Source ID created for that specific data source, and rearranging layers in a map into Groups updated/modifies that data source ID, breaking the connection between the layers in the web map and the Data Source ID.
