Workaround

Workaround 1: Using the ArcGIS API for Python.

  1. Upload the GeoJSON to ArcGIS Online (API: gis.content.add).
  2. Publish the uploaded GeoJSON (API: <item>.publish).
  3. Export the published GeoJSON as FeatureCollection (<item>.export("title", export_format="Feature Collection", wait=True).
  4. Use the FeatureCollection item in the Upsert statement: 

append_result = <layer>.append(

item_id=<FeatureCollectionId>,

upload_format="featureCollection")

Workaround 2: Using ArcGIS Online.

  1. Update data using a different file type than GeoJSON (e.g., an XLSX file).
