I published a hosted feature service from ArcGIS Pro. When I view the layer in the ArcGIS Online Map Viewer the dashed part of the polygon outline keeps disappearing when I zoom in and out. Is there anything I can do to get my symbology to consistently appear?

Thanks for reporting!! This isnt a release regression but It looks like an issue with overlapping boundaries, will log an issue in with JS Maps SDK and hopefully get this fixed for the next release.

Hi!

It is due to the range of visibility. You have applied different range/scale.

If you can share your map I can take a look to see if I can spot any issues.

@RussRoberts Thanks! I just added your russell_jsapi account to a group. Once you accept the invite you should be able to see this feature service https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=05c37c7695c94c06b222431b61768d0b If you go to the visualization tab of the item details page and zoom in on the Douglas County area in south western Oregon I'm able to pretty consistently see the problem shown in the screenshot.

@RussRoberts do you know if this issue ever got resolved? I'm still seeing the same behavior. Totally understand if it hasn't made it to the top of the list yet

So it is a limit that we have with rendering in this overlap case here and can also be seen in Pro.  A workaround I have tried out and which maybe could fit your workflow was following the steps John did in this tutorial where he had multiple state boundaries that could conflict with one another. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn7rxPeaGgw

Here's how you can make the classic National Geographic sort of political style map, with inner tint band ribbon buffalo tint things, AND ensure no colors touch each other. We'll use way more tools than you think and rely on a hotly contested mathematical theorem! All from the comfort of ArcGIS ...

@RussRoberts Thank you for sharing the video! I'm not sure it addresses the same issue I'm running into.

The video seems to focus on problems caused by dash patterns overlapping. I have a solid dashed stroke which is on top of a solid stroke for each polygon. This resolves the issue of dash patterns intersecting with each other in Pro (though I'm not convinced it's working as well in Online) and also helps with accessibility.

The issue I'm most concerned about is when I zoom in to certain areas of the map (only in Online) the dashed stroke disappears completely.

I can definitely explore publishing a hosted feature service with lines rather than polygons, just want to make sure we're talking about the same issue.
