Description

The ArcGIS Web AppBuilder Edit widget provides editing capabilities using an editable layer in a feature service. When a new editable hosted feature layer is added to the web map after the Edit widget is configured in the web app, the Edit option is not available in the feature pop-up upon clicking the features.

Cause

This is a known issue. The configured Edit widget does not honor the edit settings in the web map when new editable hosted feature layers are added to the web map. Refer to BUG-000128896 for more information.

Solution or Workaround

To enable the Edit option in the ArcGIS Web AppBuilder pop-ups, reconfigure the settings in the Editable layers settings section after the new feature layers are added.
