I would like to suggest a "Lock Editing" option similar to the "Delete prevention" option on ArcGIS Online items. This is to prevent accidental modification of the item (e.g. web map, web app) by others in the organisation that have the correct permissions. For example, we have several web apps and associated web maps that are used as live applications by others in the organisation. However, it is relatively easy for someone with the correct permissions to open the item (especially web maps in Map Viewer) and accidentally edit and then save. This change then affects the live application(s). Having a "Lock Editing" option on the item, would prevent a user (even with the correct permissions) from editing the item and saving, without first disabling the "Lock Editing" option. This would work in a similar way to "Delete Prevention", forcing the user to make a concious decision to edit the item. For example: Note that this is separate from turning on/off editing of feature layers. This is to prevent editing of the ArcGIS Online item itself and is probably most applicable to web maps and apps, but could equally be applied to item details/metadata of feature layers and/or editing of feature layer views etc. ...

The Experience Builder Query Widget currently allows for specifying a spatial filter using "Selected features from Data Source", which then requires pre-defined layers to be selected for the filter. This has to be done for each query configured and can be very painful where there are multiple layers in the map. An obvious solution to this would be to have an "All layers in map" option (preferably default), which would allow all layers from the specified map to be used in the spatial filter, rather than specifying the specific layers to use (see images). This would be very similar to how the Web App Builder Query Widget works, which does not require the specific layers to be selected for use in the spatial filter and therefore allows all suitable layers in the map to be used. ...

我们已经开发出arcpy脚本自动化层publishing that follow the examples at: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/arcpy/sharing/mapimagesharingdraft-class.htm We have a requirement for the correct copyright/attribution/credits to be populated on both the resulting feature service and feature layer within the feature service, so that these are displayed correctly in the OOB attribution on maps and apps. The documentation states: However, when we publish layers using arcpy, the credits/copyright is not populated on the resulting feature service or feature layer (within the service): If we override the credits after generating the sddraft (using sddraft.credits = "Some text"), the copyright is populated at the feature service level, but not at the feature layer level. For the credits to appear correctly in map viewer and apps, they need to be populated at the feature layer level. Note that it works when manually publishing from ArcGIS Pro, but we need to publish in an automated way as part of a CI/CD pipeline, so this is not an option. We have raised with Esri support and they have created an enhancement request, but has anyone else found a work around for this issue? Is there a way to update the copyright on the feature layer after the service has been published (e.g. with the rest api). We are using ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9 (Server & Portal) and not ArcGIS Online and these are standard feature layers and not hosted feature layers. Any thoughts much appreciated. Sample python code for generating an SD file below (which can then be published in server manager).
