Remarks

Indicates whether MapServer allows the client to change the renderer for the layer dynamically without restarting a mapservice. MapServer currently supports only FeatureLayer for changing its renderer dynamically.

When Symbol Level Drawing is enabled on a group layer, then none of the sub layers in the group layer's renderer is allowed to be modified. But if Symbol Level Drawing is set on a feature layer, then dynamic rendering is enabled on the layer.

Please note that when IMapServerInfo4::SupportsDynamicLayers is False, this property for a layer will return False regardless of layer type or above rules.
