However, this may be a bug based on the Define attribute lists and ranges documentation found at URL: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/manage-data/define-attribute-lists-and-ranges.htm

In the last bulleted statement, it states that “If you create a list for a field to which you have applied the Types (Unique Symbols) style, be sure the values in your list are the same as the unique values defined for your editing templates.”
