Using ArcGIS JS API 4.8, when I load a webmap and configure a second basemap from a portalItem webmap, I noticed that the thumbnail of the second basemap is not displayed at startup. You need to toogle it once: Demo Using a webpack build, I even do not get the main webmap displayed at start up. I need to toogle several times the widget so that thumbnails get loaded. Any idea ? Thanks ! ... View more

Playing with the following sample, loading a webMap from a PortalItem id: Load a basic WebMap | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.7  I noticed that a WebMap containing a MapService with custom layers visibility defined in AGOL (overwriting thus the default ones from the service) are not respected using arcgis js api 4.7. Layers visibility configuration is the one of the service and not the one of webmap. I know WebMap is partially supported: WebMap | API Reference | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.7  but even with a map service that has dynamic layers enabled, it is still not respected.    Is it a temporary limitation ? Maybe linked to AGOL ?    Cheers   Nicolas ... View more

I think it would be good to be able to be able to add group layer from MapServer service in ArcGIS Online / Portal for ArcGIS. The business need is the following : let's take "water burried network" for example, you have a groupLayer in a more general "Network" MapServer service that contains point, line, surface and you want to be able to add that on a map as a whole. I do not want to add every single item as a featureService (nor use a group of featureService as mentionned on the following idea which is in production plan) because the symbology is complex (complex dynamic labelling, arrow on lines to display flow direction, ...) and contains lots of items so it would be slow (though I know WebGL could help someday). The only workaround so far is to publish it as an individual service but it would increase load on the server to publish every single group as a service as there are many other cases like the one I mentionned above.
