I'm struggling with having a feature alias being displayed in the legend of a map. I checked the attribute table for the feature layer, and it says that the alias for the field is set to Magnitude, however it is showing up as "mag" (the fields actual name from the table). Does anyone have a fix?

Filter for blank values?
I want to create a filter in my Experience Builder app that a user toggles on to show where values for a specific field are blank (i.e. no text and not specifically set as Null).

When a point cloud aligns well, what still needs checking before the BIM model enters GIS?
A recent study of precast bridge-girder scans reported a 2.12 mm average residual after registering scans from adjacent stations. That is a useful measure of how closely those scans fit together-but the authors note that they had no independent ground-truth position. It does not, by itself, establish the girder's absolute…

Reporter - Comments Sorting Issue
By default, the Reporter app sorts the comments by the OBJECTID field. This is great, but ArcGIS releases OBJECTID's in batches and unused identifiers get returned to the pool. This is an issue.
