Yes this is currently a limitation in publishing with overwrite. Online team will work in removing this limitation in the next release or so. But I think we might need to consider using Append API with upsert capability. This where you get a chance to insert new data or update existing data from different sources based on the use of a unique column in the destination layer. Actually this is a better solution that keep overwriting your data from the same source regularly.  Once you use append and update the source, existing views should continue working and picking up the new changes in the source data.

Yes this is doable as long as the view is created from the same parent service. The steps are: 1. Create an empty service using portal API with "isView" = true 2. Use the Feature service addToDefinition admin API to add a view layer based on the parent source feature service. You can add a definition expression in the layer metadata. The json used here can be something like: https://..../ArcGIS/rest/admin/services/<myViewSerivceName/FeatureServer/addToDefinition {   "layers" : [     {       "adminLayerInfo" : {           "viewLayerDefinition" :           {             "sourceServiceName" : "<source service name>",             "sourceLayerId" : <source layerId>,             "sourceLayerFields" :  "*"           }       },       "name" : "<name of the view layer",  // Can be different from the source layer       "displayField": "",   "description": "",       "copyrightText": "",       "defaultVisibility" : true,   "drawingInfo":{"renderer":{"type":"simple","symbol":{"type":"esriSFS","style":"esriSFSSolid","color":[76,129,205,191],"outline":{"type":"esriSLS","style":"esriSLSSolid","color":[0,0,0,255],"width":0.75}}},"transparency":0,"labelingInfo":null},       "allowGeometryUpdates" : true,       "htmlPopupType" : "esriServerHTMLPopupTypeNone",       "maxRecordCount" : 1000,         "maxRecordCountFactor" : 1,       "definitionQuery" : "Status = 'some name'"  // your time definition expression. Note pl. use sql'92 date query       }   ] }   You can add as many layers as you want to each view as long as you reference the same parent service. Note: You can also do the above using the UX by creating a view from the source that has all source layers and then drops what you do not need using feature service deleteFromDefinition. https://..../ArcGIS/rest/admin/services/<myViewSerivceName/FeatureServer/deleteFromToDefinition   {     "layers"  : [     {        "id": 2  // This is the layerId that you do not want in the view     },    {       "id" : 3"    }   ] } Hope that helps.
