Why can't I create a new feature in ArcGIS Online on a layer I have created in ArcGIS for Developers? This happens periodically and particularly since the update to ArcGIS for Developers which has changed how layers are created.

I have created a new layer in ArcGIS for Developers. Then in ArcGIS Online I set the extent to the UK. I then opened the layer in a new map with full editing control. I go to Edit, then New Feature. The tool allows me to draw the shape but then disappears.

I've tried using different spatial references and editing options. Where am I going wrong?

Hi Sophie Horsley‌,

Try monitoring the edit requests to the service https://community.esri.com/groups/cats/blog/2017/05/04/monitoring-web-service-requests-from-web-apps?sr=search&searchId=37cef8ce-7533-40f3-91fd-213eec3642c3&searchIndex=1‌. In the response is there an error that indicates if the edit was successful or if it failed?

If it looks like the edits are going into the service but aren't displaying, change the symbology to display the location only and see if your items appear. There may be a symbology issue where none of the features fall within the symbology and thus don't display. As always, if you share the layer and web map we can take a look at it in more detail.

Kelly,

I’m not a software person, but I’ve managed to navigate the monitoring network web requests and got the following error.

variable \"@Site\".Must declare the scalar variable \"@_NewFeatureID_\"."}}],"updateResults":[],"deleteResults":[]}

The problem is I don’t know what to do with it now!

Hi Sophie,

Great work on getting the error message!

This shows that the service is not accepting the edit, as opposed to a display issue. The best way to get assistance on this will be to contact technical support or share the layer so we can see/access the issue.

Thanks!

I’ve shared two layers. Here’s the links:
