If I'm understanding OP correctly, they're talking about the scenario of shooting from stealth and then hiding at the end of your turn, so that the AI doesn't know where you are and just stands there. Not real-time stealthing before a battle, in order to try to get Surprise.

In 5e, when you attack, you reveal your position. Even if you hide again, the enemies were still alerted to your previous position. Now, if you attack -> hide -> move, you might be safe. But at the very least the enemies should go to your last known location to search you. Alternatively/in addition, the enemies could take the Hide/Dodge actions (if ever implemented) in response to damage.
I see, so there is no "stealth roll" to remain hidden after attack from stealth in original rules? If so,than yes, I think it would be fair to give enemies "ping" to investigate even if character remained in stealth. Of course, if character hides when combat is in process 1) it should take full turn, so one cannot attack and hide on the same turn, 2) enemies should remember last seen location and investigate.
