Hi Ken, If you were interested in doing this as a Python Toolbox, here is another way to do the same functionality as listed above. Thanks! import arcpy import os import sys global layerList global dataLocation class Toolbox(object):     def __init__(self):         self.label =  "Folder Toolbox"         self.alias  = "folders"         # List of tool classes associated with this toolbox         self.tools = [findFolders] class findFolders(object):     def __init__(self):         self.label       = "Finds Layer Files"         self.description = "This tool will find layer files in a folder and will update that folder with those files."     def getParameterInfo(self):         #Define parameter definitions         # Input Features parameter         in_workspace = arcpy.Parameter(             displayName="Input Workspace",             name="in_workspace",             datatype="DEFolder",             parameterType="Required",             direction="Input")         # Sinuosity Field parameter         layers = arcpy.Parameter(             displayName="Layers",             name="layers",             datatype="String",             parameterType="Optional",             direction="Input",             multiValue = True)                 parameters = [in_workspace, layers]                 return parameters     def isLicensed(self): #optional         return True     def updateParameters(self, parameters): #optional         if parameters[0].altered:             global layerList             global dataLocation             path = str(parameters[0].value)             layerList = []             dataLocation = []             for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path):                 for name in files:                     if name.endswith(".lyr"):                         layerList.append(name)                         dataLocation.append(os.path.join(root,name))             parameters[1].filter.list = layerList         return     def updateMessages(self, parameters): #optional         return     def execute(self, parameters, messages):         for i in parameters[1].values:             arcpy.AddMessage("Adding: " + str(i))             mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT")             lyrToAdd = i             indexPosition = layerList.index(lyrToAdd)             lyr = arcpy.mapping.Layer(dataLocation[indexPosition])             arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(mxd.activeDataFrame, lyr) ...

Hey Ken! I have written a quick sample that should do what you are looking for it to do. Enter in a directory in the first combo box and then press the drop down in the second to select the layer.  Finally, press the button to add the layer to the map document. Does this help? Sample Code: import arcpy import pythonaddins import os global layerlist global dataLocation global buttonSelection class ButtonClass5(object):     """Implementation for Ken3_addin.button (Button)"""     def __init__(self):         self.enabled = True         self.checked = False     def onClick(self):         mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT")         lyrToAdd = buttonSelection         indexPosition = layerList.index(lyrToAdd)         lyr = arcpy.mapping.Layer(dataLocation[indexPosition])         arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(mxd.activeDataFrame, lyr) class ComboBoxClass1(object):     """Implementation for Ken3_addin.combobox (ComboBox)"""     def __init__(self):         self.items = []         self.editable = True         self.enabled = True         self.dropdownWidth = 'WWWWWW'         self.width = 'WWWWWW'     def onSelChange(self, selection):         pass     def onEditChange(self, text):         path = text         global layerList         global dataLocation         layerList = []         dataLocation = []         for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path):             for name in files:                 if name.endswith(".lyr"):                     layerList.append(name)                     dataLocation.append(os.path.join(root,name))         print layerList         print dataLocation     def onFocus(self, focused):         pass     def onEnter(self):         pass     def refresh(self):         pass class ComboBoxClass4(object):     """Implementation for Ken3_addin.combobox_1 (ComboBox)"""     def __init__(self):         self.items = []         self.editable = True         self.enabled = True         self.dropdownWidth = 'WWWWWW'         self.width = 'WWWWWW'     def onSelChange(self, selection):         global buttonSelection         buttonSelection = selection     def onEditChange(self, text):         pass     def onFocus(self, focused):         self.items = layerList     def onEnter(self):         pass     def refresh(self):         pass ...

Hi Nick Courtney‌, This functionality does not currently exist in ArcGIS Online.  There is an official enhancement request logged under: [NIM098242 - Provide the ability to create custom class breaks when changing the symbology of a dynamic layer in ArcGIS Online.] I would also consider posting this enhancement request on the ideas page which our developers monitor frequently.  In addition, other users are able to promote the idea which will add to the likelihood that it will be addressed in a future release.  Here is a link to the ideas page: http://ideas.arcgis.com I hope this helps! ...

Hi Evan Sepa‌, I believe that this is a known limitation of the Finder application as documented in its GitHub repository.  This documentation stating this can be found here: Find, Edit, Filter documentation. local-government-online-apps/doc/markdown/BasicConfigurationOfFindEditFilter.md at master · Esri/local-government-online…‌ Under the Result Display Field heading it reads: "Only one Result Display Field can be defined for each Find Layer." In addition, if you would like to see this enhancement made to the current template, you can post an enhancement request both directly to the GitHub Repository in addition to the Ideas website. I hope this helps! ... View more
