Hi Esri,  Our team recently launched our ArcGIS Hub open data site and we're currently in the process of launching an internal Portal Site.  In the building of the Portal site we noticed that Portal Sites is generations behind ArcGIS Hub. We were wondering if Portal Sites will be comparable to ArcGIS Hub when Portal 10.7 is released? In addition we were wondering if the Portal Sites team has thought about a way to send out updates to keep Portal sites running with the same functionalities as ArcGIS Hub? This would be incredibly useful for administrators all around to manage both these platforms without facing discrepancies in the available functionalities.  We would be more than happy to discuss this further is someone from your team would like to reach out.  Thanks,  Three Rivers Park District ...

Hi Esri,  In efforts to promote open data, we have recently been publishing referenced data * for our ArcGIS Hub open data audience. In doing so, we encountered issues when hiding fields that contain sensitive info. Below are more details:  Publishing from Pro-  When hiding fields in ArcGIS Pro and publishing the data as a referenced (live) service, the fields do not stay hidden. We opened a case with support (Case #02201567) which resulted as a bug (#BUG-000117563).  The suggested workaround was to publish data from ArcMap instead.  Workaround & Issues-  In doing so, we had success hiding fields but when an administrator made schema changes (eg adding a new field with sensitive data) this new field was also populated in the service and Open Data (visible to the public). I understand that this is by design, but I would like to challenge that there are no safeguards in place for organizations that publish referenced data to their Open Data Hub. As a government organization it is our duty to promote transparency and always provide the most current data to the public.  As a another workaround, we have had to create a SQL view to control this. In return this is an additional data-set /view and service that we need to maintain.  Alternative Ideas:  - When making a schema change flag the user that this is used in open data. - Allow "Views" to be made at the Portal level for referenced services that way administrators don't need to manage an additional data-sets/services.  If anyone has further questions, I would be more than happy to discuss them.  Thank you,  Amanda *Published to Portal as a referenced layer from an Enterprise GDB and collaborated using distributed collaboration groups to AGOL.  ...
