Don't Reset Existing Symbology when Arcade Expression is Updated

A real pain point for me lately has been that any time I update an Arcade expression I am using for symbology in a web map, it resets the symbology I have already set, especially annoying when the output from the Arcade expression is the same options as I had already set.

Why is this? This should not be the case, this is really annoying when I have a dozen categories set, that I then need to reconfigure any time I make any changes to the Arcade expression. Please add a fix so this does not happen, or at least give the user an option to have it start from scratch.

This is a huge pain in the neck for us as well!!!

HUGE! On some maps, we have complex symbology based on an Arcade expression. There are multiple symbol categories, and the symbology takes a long time to configure. If we then have to add a new category, it means recreating the symbology from scratch with nothing but a screenshot for reference (if I remember to grab one). So frustrating.

This is so frustrating when dealing with complex symbology (which it nearly always is if you're constructing an Arcade expression for it). Totally agree that the resetting of the symbology should be optional when changing the arcade.
