Hello,

I am trying to copy a hosted feature layer. The layer is owned by another member of my organization, we are both administrators within our organization.

I have tried:

Both methods have resulted in "no data" in the copied layer.

The data owner also tried copying the layer into a new hosted feature layer and also resulted in no data. Is copying features currently broken or is there a step we are missing?

Thank you.

Hi @Meredith_Keraga , Thank you for posting the question! I tested the workflow at my end (exporting as a Feature collection > Public the Feature collection as a Hosted feature layer), and I do not reproduce the same issue. 

  • Is the behavior specific to any item?
  • Have you tried exporting the data in a different format, for example, as a File geodatabase >> Publish to confirm if it reproduces?

Another potential avenue we can test is doing the copy via the Clone_Items() method within the ArcGIS API for Python - https://developers.arcgis.com/python/latest/guide/cloning-content/
