Additional Information
This is as designed. Queries for annotation sublayers are not supported. The sub layers for annotation are there only to turn the visibility on or off when exporting the map. This is also true in desktop where we don’t allow users to open the table for a anno sub layer. If querying the f=json response for the capabilities enabled on the annotation sublayer, like the following request would: https://server.domain/arcgis/rest/services/Maps/ANNOTATION/MapServer/1?f=pjson You would see the capabilities like so: Capabilities: "Map,Query" query is only supported when the capabilities include Data. Like so: capabilities: "Map,Query,Data"Workaround
Query the map service's annotation layer instead of the annotation sublayer to return records.Steps to Reproduce
