I'd like to propose an enhancement to ESRI feature services related to handling multipart polygon geometries. Currently, when querying a feature service with multipart polygon input, the results are inconsistent if pagination parameters ('resultOffset' and 'resultRecordCount') are included in the API request. Removing the pagination parameters yields the correct geometry, which suggests there might be room for improvement in how multipart polygons are processed during pagination. This is reported in the documentation https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/services-reference/enterprise/query-map-service-dynamic-layer/#ne... but no workaround it apparent.
Improving this functionality would be beneficial for users working with complex datasets and large geometries, ensuring more reliable results and enhancing the overall experience with ESRI feature services.
I believe that refining this aspect of the feature services would significantly enhance their usability for spatial analysis and other workflows that depend on accurate geometry queries.
Thank you for considering this suggestion. I’m looking forward to seeing how the product continues to evolve!
