Why can't I add a new editing Template in Field Maps Designer? I have added a new item to a field's List, updated that layer's Symbology in the web map, but then it does not automatically appear in Field Maps Designer, and I can't figure out how to add it manually.
I have a couple bonkers work arounds, one of which includes open in Web Map classic, which kills my newer symbols... Seems like this should be possible in Field Maps Designer so I must be missing something.
(it's a hosted feature layer)
Thanks
You will want to test this on a copy as I haven't tried it since the latest "Update...".
Only way I know in AGOL to modify the editing template is with Map Viewer Classic.
Once loaded, choose "Edit", select the template you want to modify and choose "Manage":
Then you will see a dropdown with Properties:
You can Copy one of the exiting templates to a new one, then modify the new template properties as desired and "SAVE CHANGES" at the bottom.
Then, exit Map Viewer Classic and do NOT save changes to the map so it doesn't kill your symbols, popups, etc.

Yup, this is pretty much exactly what I do! I usually open the layer in a new, blank, Map Viewer Classic and do the update there. Sometimes it will ruin the symbology at the layer level, which I don't love as I often use the same layers across multiple maps. In those cases, I can go back to my original, untouched, "new version" Map Viewer map as save the layer that is in there to get the symbology back to the layer level.
I have also added editing templates by updating the layer definition in REST.
I just have to believe there's a way to do it in the new Map Viewer or Field Map Designer... @JeffShaner, sorry yours is the only name I know from reading blog posts (also just randomly tried to use @ and was surprised to see it worked!). Any insights on this?
Thanks, you solved my problem here!
Solution still working! Thanks for your help.
Unfortunately still haven't found an easy way to accomplish this in Field Maps Designer or the new Map Viewer in AGOL.
I can't even change it in Map Viewer Classic anymore (which used to be my workaround). Only 1 layer exposes its template, every other layer is no longer "modifiable".
