When publishing with GeoAccessor'sto_featurelayerfunction, the resulting service is given a unique name. Ideally a user could specify a name. To facilitate this, it would great if this function could overwrite an existing feature layer, as well.

Example with psudocode:

from arcgis.gis import GIS from arcgis.features import FeatureLayer from arcgis.features import GeoAccessor gis = GIS(gis=<>, username=<>, password=<>) serviceUrl = "https://services1.arcgis.com//arcgis/rest/services//FeatureServer/0" mylayer = FeatureLayer((serviceUrl)) df = GeoAccessor.from_layer(mylayer) df.spatial.to_featurelayer(title='',tags='',folder='',name='YourNameHere',overwrite=True)
