Hi @DataOfficer - thanks for changing this setting. Cloning the item I can confirm that the service change tracking setting is no longer there, which is good.  On the cloned service, I am also given the opportunity to append with updating features and selecting the Ref_UniqueID field as the unique identifier. However this hangs and does not complete. The oddity with the unique IDs mentioned above when republishing from FGDB (the error message that they are not unique) was added to when I downloaded the hosted feature layer as a CSV; it only exports about 1/4 of the records. However when I publish this subset as a hosted feature layer, I can append with update features and use the Ref_UniqueID field as the unique identifier.  Would it be possible to add to the Online group or send to pklingman@esri.com a source copy of the data that hasn't been published to Online as a hosted feature layer? I want to take the existing service out of the picture and try a test workflow start-to-finish with the data.  Thanks for your help and patience on this one, -Peter    ... View more

@DavidRunneals2 is correct - Google Analytics has been added for apps that have migrated to the new configuration experience (Attachment Viewer, Category Gallery, Interactive Legend, Media Map, Minimalist, Nearby, and Zone Lookup, as well as the new app 3D Viewer). The What's New in Configurable Apps blog has more information on this feature.  If you implement this in a configurable app please let us know any feedback you have on it.  Thank you, -Peter  ...

In the December 2020 ArcGIS Online update, you can now configure which fields editors can/cannot edit in an editable hosted feature layer. This capability is planned for hosted feature layers in ArcGIS Enterprise at the next release. Thanks for the idea, and please let us know any feedback.  cc @HilaryCurtis  ... View more

@DataOfficer  I got a warning that you do not have private messages enabled. If you go to your profile settings > preferences > toggle the drop-down to private messenger > you can turn this functionality on if you wish. Here is what I would have sent via a DM: Testing: I initially published the layer from an exported FGDB Setting Ref_uniqueID values as unique failed The error message was that the field was not unique - confirmed in Excel that the field is unique. Not sure what was going on with this and it may warrant some further research. However since this isn't the issue we're currently troubleshooting, worked around it for now. Successfully used Python API method clone_items to copy the layer This maintained the setting of the Ref_uniqueID field as unique Tried to append records from incl. csv (update existing features was grayed out) Looked at settings of cloned feature layer and noticed that Keep track of created and updated features was checked on and grayed out. This is the change tracking setting, different than keep track of who created and updated features. From the append doc: "You can only add new data to a hosted feature layer that has synchronization or change tracking ( Keep track of created and updated features ) enabled." I then looked at the admin endpoint of the layer and viewed the service definition. I noticed that there were settings that indicated change tracking had been enabled on hosted feature layer views: "hasChangeTrackingEnabledViews" : true I'm thinking that since I cloned this layer from your hosted feature layer, it copied across the entire service definition, including information that the layer has views with certain properties. Suggestions: From everything I can tell, change tracking is preventing using append to update existing features at the moment. I would look at the views created from this hosted feature layer and see if they have change tracking enabled, and if they do, evaluate if it is a requirement. If not, then you can toggle this off on the views and then ultimately on the hosted feature layer.  I expect that this will enable updating existing features when appending.    I hope this helps, let me know how it goes.  Thanks, -Peter  ...

HTTPS only and HSTS were implemented with the ArcGIS Online site-wide HTTPS enforcement on December 8, 2020. This article and this video go over the changes in more depth. Thank you for the idea submission, and please let me know if I have missed an aspect of this idea that was not implemented. With the new Esri community guidelines, I would be happy to assist in creating a new idea to address it.  ... View more

Hi Rob, Thanks for the details on this - if you would add PeterK_ess to a group that has an export-enabled version of the hosted feature layer and a sample CSV used for updates I will take a look.  Best, -Peter ... View more

Hi @chrisshon - sorry you're running into this; this may need to go to Esri Support to resolve the issue with feature layers.  Can you do a quick test for me? From the Content tab in the top navigation select Create > Feature Layer > choose any of the templates > follow the prompts to create a test feature layer. Does this succeed or fail? If this does fail, can you send me an email at pklingman@esri.com or a direct message over the Esri Community with your ArcGIS Online subscription ID? Thanks, -Peter    ... View more
