Hi ArcGIS Online Community!

I have worked up a Hosted Feature Layer with several layers within each with Forms, Symbology, and Pop-Ups established. The goal is to use this layer as a template to create data collection layers for separate projects. The workflow would be to "Create a Layer from Existing" with all established forms, symbology, pop-ups, etc transferred. I have established the symbology and pop-ups within the Visualization tab for the layers and saved the Forms to the layer rather than the map. 

When I Create a New Layer from Existing, Form info seems to be carried over to the new layer but the Symbology does not. But it's not quite as simple. Some symbology information appears to carry over but not correctly. Some layers show as you might expect new unedited layers to appear, default symbology. However, one of the layers has the same symbology as one of the other group layers, not the correct layer. Screenshots provided below.

Original Layer (TEMPLATE):

New Layer (TEST)

So it looks like the TrackLog Symbology carries over. The Orange Rectangle was, at one point, the symbology for the Generic Points. So something is getting crossed in the process. The layer appears the same without it being added to the map and just looking at it within the visualization tab. 

Does this make sense to anyone? Any ideas on a fix?

Cheers!
