In short you can't! Well it is not supported in the interactive interface. There is now an unsupported workaround provided by the Esri consulting team using the AGOL Assistant where you can do a search and replace for the item ID. If you know the Item IDs..... (Just do a search for AGOL Assistant and log in again). Maybe you can find the Item IDs (the new one is easy enough from the new webmap and you may have the old webmap. If you have a new feature layer then create a new web map that references the new featurelayer otherwise you will have to do two updates, one for the webmap and another for the featurelayer. I wrote a short python script to recursively look through the dashboard to find all Item IDs in the dashboard. I am intending to do the update too but haven't finished it yet. # dashboard references 2 from arcgis.gis import GIS import json import sys import arcpy import os os.getcwd gis = GIS(profile='econet') # Step 2: Get the Dashboard Item try: dashboard_id = sys.argv[1] except IndexError: # dashboard_id = "0f3670488cfc4ea19f4a8e22252979fd" # RHB Trapping dashboard dashboard_id = "eafa864b127242b29b0f5d08fc20e017" # PFK Trapping dashboard dashboard_item = gis.content.get(dashboard_id) if not dashboard_item: arcpy.AddMessage("Dashboard not found. Check the dashboard ID.") exit() arcpy.AddMessage(f"<{dashboard_item.title}> found") # Step 3: Access Dashboard's Configuration JSON (Data Block) dashboard_data = dashboard_item.get_data() if not dashboard_data: arcpy.AddMessage("No data block found in the dashboard.") exit() # Step 4: Recursive Function to Extract Item IDs def extract_item_ids(data, referenced_items): if isinstance(data, dict): for key, value in data.items(): if key == "itemId": # Check for itemId fields referenced_items.append(value) else: extract_item_ids(value, referenced_items) # Recursively check nested dictionaries elif isinstance(data, list): for item in data: extract_item_ids(item, referenced_items) # Recursively check nested lists # Initialize a list to store referenced IDs referenced_items = [] extract_item_ids(dashboard_data, referenced_items) # Step 5: Fetch Referenced Item Details unique_item_ids = set(referenced_items) # Remove duplicates item_details = [] for item_id in unique_item_ids: item = gis.content.get(item_id) if item: item_details.append({ "Item ID": item_id, "Title": item.title, "Type": item.type }) # Step 6: Output Results if item_details: arcpy.AddMessage("Referenced Items:") for item in item_details: arcpy.AddMessage(f"Item ID: {item['Item ID']}, Title: {item['Title']}, Type: {item['Type']}") else: arcpy.AddMessage("No referenced items found in the dashboard.") # Optional: Save to CSV import pandas as pd df = pd.DataFrame(item_details) df.to_csv("referenced_items.csv", index=False) arcpy.AddMessage("Referenced items saved to referenced_items.csv") arcpy.AddMessage(f"{os.getcwd()}")​ ...

Good idea, but how will it help? I really should look up some logs to see how long it took in ArcMap. Since Esri have turned off my licence for the Pro downgrade I cannot run it now. I really just want normal speed. I have got rid of any BigInteger and BigObjectID fields ( well you have to or CreateRelation() crashes).

The replace layer option in the ArcGISPro share dialog needs exclusive access. It crashes if I also have the layer open in AGOL. That might also be a problem if the layer is being used in Survey123 or FieldMaps. It is also not dynamic. New records will need to be processed. I thought of a virtual field, but that might not be possible. ... View more

A hosted featurelayer of half a million records? I assume it is on your own server, not ArcGISOnline? The storage charges are per 10MB, not per Gigabyte! Have you tried a virtual field(s) in the WebMap? Then you can use Arcade to generate the new fields dynamically.   ... View more

I have just upgraded to 3.4.0 which is no better. It has been a problem ever since 3.3.1. Maybe due to BigInteger introduction? ... View more

Why are you using shapefiles and excel tables? You would be much better off using a proper database format with tables. Then you can validate the data and control the data schema. It will be faster and more robust. It will handle the difference between blanks and null values. You can use the Microsoft schema.ini file to properly define the schema for the excel spreadsheet before you import it to a database table. Once in a database the keys you are going to use for the table join can be indexed for speed, set to NOT NULL to make sure they are always populated and generally document the schema. The codes with dashes have to be strings, but that may need to be explicitly set. ... View more

It anything takes longer than a cup of coffee, interrupt the process and find a better way! It is likely that it will crash with no results if it has to run for days. To update an online table from ArcGISPro it only works for a few records. If you need a bulk update the best way is to export the table to a local filegeodatabase, do the process on a local machine and then replace the online layer. The replace layer function actually does a Staging Update. This zips up the file and metadata for the layers, uploads and then unpacks in the cloud. This all takes a few seconds or at the most minutes.   ... View more

Use FME. That will work forever, they never deprecate earlier readers. It is also called Data Interop for the Esri addon if you want to pretend that it is an Esri extension. ... View more

Have you considered the GroupBy function in Arcade? This seems to be very useful to group multiple names and get a count. ... View more

But there is another  problem not covered by my workaround. OBJECTID can be 32 or 64 bit as well. This is much harder to change and even detect. The type is "ÓID" for both (not helpful) but you can find out the length is 4 or 8. If the table is empty you can edit the field schema by hand to fix it, but I don't know how to do it in a script. ... View more

You may need to fix a bug(?) that adds a blank field to the end of the arcpy.ListFields(fc) command. fields = arcpy.ListFields(input_fc) print(f"L42 {[f.name for f in fields]}") for field in fields: if field.type not in ('OID', 'Geometry'): # not allowed in fieldmappings if field.name: # very strange blank name added to list by Esri field_map = arcpy.FieldMap() # new for each field print(f"L46 {input_fc},<{field.name}>") ...

We handle this by having a point layer of labels that relate back to the polygons. There is only one point for each property, but some properties are multipart. That doesn't matter because they still have a total area. You only get one label so it is placed in the largest part. You add labels when they have been exploded and then choose the largest one. Run a summary by max area and then select the largest, discarding the others. If you want to get rid of the non-boundaries there is an aggregate tool. ... View more
