Modify the symbolgy of a source layer in AGOL

[CarlaNardinocchi]

Hi all,

I have a group of layers in AGOL that I have published from ArcGIS Pro, where I have also defined style and symbology.

In my web map I have changed the symbology of one of the layers, but when I use the EDIT widget (in Experience Builder) acting on this layer it always refers to the symbology of the original map.

I discovered that it is connected with the symbology of the source layer I shared from ArcGIS Pro.

In the information pop up (see attached figure) I cannot disconnect the symbology of the source layer: "Proprieties cannot be  reset because they are already referenced from the source layer"

Moreover, if the disconnection had worked, I also wonder whether I would have lost all the relationship of the source layer or not.

The only solution is to start from beginning my already advanced project!!!!

Thansk for any help!

I think I had a similar / the same question last year and unfortunately the answer seems to be "republish from Pro to update the symbology".

Hi @CarlaNardinocchi, 

If this is regarding Editing, you may need to update your templates. You can now do that in Map Viewer following these steps: 

With the layer selected in the Layers pane, 

• Click Configure editing.
• Choose Templates. 
• In the Templates window, click Update in order to sync the new styles to the templates. 
• Save and close the Templates window. 

The updated Template(s) will appear in the Editor pane in Map Viewer and the Edit widget in other apps like Experience Builder.

Thanks for the tip and for the hope that I can solve this problem without having to do it all over again.

I don't know if this relates to editing. I know that when I use the Edit widget in Experience Builder, the original style of my layer (source layer) that was imported from ArcGIS Pro comes out (it was a mistake to set all the style in ArcGIS Pro!!!?)

Here is what I am doing.

The source layer is based on a 'Count and Amount (Colour)' and I had defined 3 categories, each with a different colour.

In AGOL's map viewer I change the style of this layer to Single Symbol (unique color). I save it.

The map changes its layout and I now have a single symbol. The legend shows: the name of the single symbol layer and the point.

I now follow your instructions:

Click on Configure Editing

Choose Templates : here I see the 3 categories but all with the same colour of the syngle symbol.

I cannot find a way to change the template and/or Update.

I have removed 2 of the 3 categories, but:

- I MUST enter a name to be displayed
- and my changes are invalid

Thanks again for any help!

Hi @EmilyGeo 

I take back what I said.

I went ahead despite the error in saving.
I left 1 template, entered the name I wanted of the layer and the widget in Experience Builder was correct.

Thank you very much!
