Hey all, Currently in a jam with a python script that achieves the following workflow. Have succeeded in everything but the final step: Turn off editor tracking for hosted feature service X in ArcGIS Online. Feature X is a table of facilities with some status fields that are updated by staff through Collector. Pull down copy of feature X to a fgdb on local machine. Join status and editor tracking fields from feature X to a new feature Y. Feature Y is an updated list of facilities generated from an Oracle database (new facilities may have opened or some may have closed). Using a combo of this and this, create a draft Service Definition using a Pro project (.aprx) that contains the newly updated Feature Y. Create Service Definition file from that draft, then overwrite the Service Definition item of feature X in ArcGIS Online using .update() Republish/overwrite feature X using .publish(overwrite=True,file_type="serviceDefinition"), which carries over the changes from the updated Service Definition. Re-enable editor tracking for feature X, BUT use the existing editor fields joined to feature Y during Step 3. I am able to successfully re-enable editor tracking of the hosted feature, but instead of using the existing editor-tracking fields (Creator, CreationDate, Editor, EditDate) it creates a new set (Create_1, CreationDate_1, Editor_1, and EditDate_1). I've tried designating the fields while using update_definition() with something like: "editFieldsInfo" : {  "creationDateField" : "CreationDate",  "creatorField" : "Creator",  "editDateField" : "EditDate",  "editorField" : "Editor"  } ...but it seems to ignore that. I've also tried setting {"preserveEditUsersAndTimestamps":True} both when disabling and enabling the editor tracking, but there's no effect I can see. Any idea how to control this? It's easy to set them manually with the arcpy tools in Desktop, but if I do that I'm unable to upload the feature to ArcGIS Online. If I enable and then disable with arcpy prior to upload, it doesn't remember those fields once I enable in ArcGIS Online via update_definition(). Thought maybe it should go into the draft service definition, but there's nothing about that in the documentation. I've attached a snippet of the upload and enabling process I currently have at the end of my script. Please help!   -Aaron ... View more

As an admin I try and identify stagnant users and content that can be removed to free up accounts and tidy up the organization. When looking for potential users to remove and going through their items, I can see on their content tab if an item is being shared to a group; however I have no way to see the name of the group unless the admin account is a part of that group (which it often isn't). The item's detail page not only lacks this information, but states the item isn't shared at all.  It would be helpful to know what group(s) the item has been shared to, so that I can check to see if it is an important connection -- or a group that is also stagnant and unused.  ...
