Add Feature Layer activity not adding layer to Layer List in GVH
In Workflow 5, I've built a workflow that will pass an uploaded file to FME, which will write out a JSON feature set. The workflow will then pass the output back to GXW5 to be added to the user's map. All this works fine, except for when I attempt to add the feature set to the map using the Add Feature Layer activity.
The activity will add the geometry to the map, but it is not selectable and there is no item in the layer list for the new feature layer. Also, it will not save in projects. Anyone have a solution to this? Workaround?

For others who have hit a wall with the Add Feature Layer Activity for the HTML 5 Viewer - this is what Support told me, so I suggest if you want this fixed, you should put contact Support and request this get fixed as otherwise it may not get addressed since the focus is more on Web :
As far as we're concerned, there is a bug with this activity. In most of our supported viewers like Web AppBuilder or VertiGIS Studio Web, this activity adds the data to the map, legend, and the layer list. The Identify tool can then return results from the new layer as well. But in the HTML5 viewer, it only adds the features to the map and doesn't update the layer list, legend, or identifiable layers.
We have the issue logged as 146401 in our internal bug tracker. I've added this support ticket to the bug info and included your comments about the activity documentation being insufficient as well. The more stakeholders we find affected by an issue the higher its priority will rise for a fix, so I also added info from the community threads you linked too.
I'll mark the support ticket solved since there isn't anything else our support team can do at this time for the issue, but if you have any follow up questions let me know. When the bug gets addressed, the ID 146401 will be mentioned on https://docs.geocortex.com/workflow/latest/help/Default.htm#wf5/help/release-notes.htm0
