Align feature class attribute table in ArcGIS Pro with item table in portal (ArcGIS Enterprise/ArcGIS Online)

[Y_Maree]

Is it possible to provide an option to add long field descriptions and value types to a feature class in ArcGIS Pro so that it appears when you publish the layer as a hosted feature layer?

I have several layers in my ArcGIS Enterprise and ArcGIS Online organization that need to be updated regularly. The source data is published from ArcGIS Pro as a hosted feature layer.

My portal layers have configurations applied to their attribute table in the table view:

• field alias
• field description
• field value type

Table view in ArcGIS Online

I would like to be able to overwrite / update the portal item without having to reapply these configurations each time. As it stands, the field alias can be configured in the geodatabase, but not the long description and value type selected from the drop-down in portal.

Thanks for this Idea.

The enhancement to add field descriptions to the geodatabase model can be supported at the link below.

@Y_Maree If you like, I can merge this idea with the one linked above.  I can also refine this idea to focus on the value type property.
