How to see which layers are Time Enabled

Question

Is there a good way to see which layers in your web map are time enabled, other than going to each layer's settings?

This seems to be the only way to permanently disable to automatic time slider upon opening a map. Is there a way to remove just that function so when anyone opens the map, it doesn't automatically appear, even if data in the map is time enabled?

Thank you!!! I will for sure look into putting a little script together to see this for now. I made a brief ideas post for this here: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-ideas/how-to-see-which-layers-are-time-enabled/idi-p/1635204

Hey @laurentideicesheet

In terms of seeing which layers are time enabled, you can access the layers using the ArcGIS API for Python or Javascript and record which layers have the timeInfo attribute on the layer itself, this can be automated and recorded on a database or other info storage.

To disable the automatic time slider, that may require the map to have the time enabled option disabled in order to not be visible, you possible may be able to modify it using Javascript, but that may be more work than it is worth. I would definitely go with your choice on making an idea about this being an option, be sure to link it back here and I'll support!

Note, if this doesn't exist, would be cool to add the function to Field Maps Designer. Similar to how you can see what data is offline compatible.
