AGOL is very bad at handling geometry errors in fact it can completely prevent your hosted layer from working on multiple different avenues. What is desperately needed is to allow the check and repair geometry tools within ArcPro to run on the Hosted layers themselves of the runtime databases from downloading a map off line.

I recently had a ticket where a hosted feature layer had multiple geometry errors, the solution was to repair the geometry errors but you can't do this without deleting all of the data and reloading it or overwriting the service. AGOL can't deal with geometry errors but has has no means to prevent them from occurring within the service, no means to identify them in the service, and no means to repair them in the service.

We need it badly and have been working with Esri for the past 2 months regarding it. I had submitted this as a new idea before being routed to this thread: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-ideas/bring-quot-repair-geometry-quot-to-arcgis-online/i...

Our consultant set us up with a web map to edit lines for a project. After using it regularly for a couple years, all of the sudden, we are seeing lines disappear. When trying to take the data offline to edit, it fails. This affects our worklfows.

Editing lines through an instant app has been causing corrupt features. We can't detect these features except when trying to create replicas. The features must be deleted and recreated to fix the error. Not fun. It would be really nice to be able to determine which features have issues by running some python code and being able to export and repair the geometry. I will work on submitting a bug with the process that's causing the corruption.
