Workaround

Steps: 1. In My Content, download the service definition for the published service. Save on the local machine. 2. Extract the service definition. This can be extracted to any folder, or a new folder. 3. Open the servicedescriptions/featureserver folder. 4. Use a text editor to open featureserver.json. 5. For each layer in the service, there is a section that starts with 'Indexes' and ends just before 'dateFieldsTimeReference'. Delete the 'FDO_Shape' and 'FDO_GlobalID' sections within this 'Indexes' section. 6. Save the .json. 7. Back in the folder where the service definition was extracted, select all of the folders/files that associated with the service definition, and save to a zipped folder. 8. Rename the zipped folder to SERVICENAME.sd (a warning about changing the extension may returned). 9. Back in ArcGIS Online, delete the original service SERVICENAME from My Content, but not the service definition. 10. Open the item details for the service definition and go to Update, then browse to the location where the service definition is saved. Update the service definition to this new file. 11. Publish the service from the service definition. 12. Once the service is published, create a new service using this service as a template. This time no error is returned.
