Additional Information

The sample provided code is incorrect. When overwriting a feature layer, the input for the 'output_name' needs to be a FeatureLayer object. Sample pseudocode: overwrite_item = gis.content.get("some item id") results = arcgis.features.analysis.join_features( target_layer=FeatureLayer( "https://myurl.com/0" ), join_layer=fl, spatial_relationship='intersects', output_name=overwrite_item.layers[ 0 ], # needs to be feature layer object. context={"overwrite": True}, )
