Please allow for the rotation of labels for points in ArcGIS Online Feature Layers using a numeric field (or a hard coded value). Similar to what you can do in ArcGIS Pro. 

My particular use case: engineering road chainage labels are commonly aligned perpendicular to the a road alignment (and also offset) in drawings and plans. Consistency between web maps and drawings are valuable for AEC users. Just one example here, rotated labels can improve web cartography in many other ways.

I am very disappointed that this is still not available. I am slowly moving everything from ArcGIS Server (standalone) to AGOL and this is holding me back.

Unfortunately it seems that Esri has begun completely disregarding user requests unless they are specifically created through Support cases and a BUG has been identified.  Please somebody from Esri, prove me wrong.

@ESRI Any updates regarding this request/idea?
