Developer account, New Feature Service Renderer

[TimWitt2]

Hey everybody,

When I have an ArcGIS online developer account I am able to create feature services within that account without having to use ArcGIS Desktop. The issue is that there is a very limited amount of renderer I can choose for my new feature service.

I know if I use this feature service in an ArcGIS Online map it is easy to adjust the renderer, but if I use this feature service in an ArcGIS Javascript App i need to invest time and code to change the renderer. On top of that it causes issues with dijits, like the Legend dijit, that uses the original renderer that I chose when creating the service.

My question is, is there a way to change the renderer in the service itself once it has been created?

Thanks,

Tim

Tim,

You can update the hosted feature service schema including the renderer...check out the Esri blog.
