When schema changes are made to ArcGIS Online or hosted feature layers—such as adding fields, updating domains, changing aliases, or modifying online-saved symbology—ArcGIS Pro often does not fully recognize those changes until the application is closed and reopened.
Please consider adding a “Deep Refresh” tool in ArcGIS Pro that forces a full layer and schema reload from the source without requiring the user to restart the application.
Ideal behavior would include:
Refresh all schema changes, including new/deleted fields, aliases, defaults, domains, and subtypes
Refresh online-saved symbology and other layer display settings
Update open maps, layer properties, and attribute tables automatically
Preserve as much project state as possible while reloading the hosted layer definition
Provide warnings when a refresh may affect joins, relates, field mappings, editing sessions, or dependent tools
This would save significant time and reduce workflow disruption for teams that regularly maintain hosted data schemas while also using those same layers in ArcGIS Pro.
