Is it possible to have a time slider enabled but not show up in the map until a user wants to use it. At the moment it seems there are two requirements but it is not the functionality I'm looking for.
Scenario:
I have a point layer that has a date field and the Time Settings are enabled for the Feature Layer from the Feature Service content item.
This layer is in my map, when I open the map the time slider shows automatically, I can turn it off by selecting Time on the right and toggle on/off.
If I toggle off and save the map, when I reopen the time slider still appears. I would like it not to, but the option to turn it on when needed.
Now, here's what I can do, I can go to the layer properties and see that Enable Time is toggled on, and I can see the Time toggle on the right.
If I toggle off the Enable time for the layer, the Time toggle disappears from the right.
I toggle on Enable Time but do not have the Time toggled on and I save the Map. I want it to open just like this, without the slider but the option to turn on when needed, not the opposite where I have to toggle off upon opening the Map.
But when I reopen or refresh, the time slider shows.
Is it possible to achieve this in any way? Manually or using the ArcGIS API for Python to manipulate the JSON?
