Attribute Table Widget : Horrible Layer Name Issue (Can't Correct)

[BrianO_keefe]

So I'm trying to setup a FULL map. I'm having issues with the Attribute Table Widget.

When I initially open the widget I get a series of layer names like so...

So I went into the config file and adjusted it.

{
  "layerInfos": [{

}

and it doesn't stick. I can CLOSE the WAB. Edit the config file. And when I open the WAB and that app I still get the messed up layer names.

Any suggestions?

I couldn't figure it out so I went back to the MXD and renamed each layer with a completely unique layer name. Apparently, the layers sharing a similar name (regardless of the grouping they may/may not be in) didn't matter.

swInlet under Private lines was treated a duplicated of swInlet under City owned lines.
