Thanks a lot, Joshua! That actual worked. I ended up with the following code:

lyr_def = lyr.getDefinition("V2")
exp_info = arcpy.cim.CIMExpressionInfo()
exp_info.expression = "\"Matr. nr. \"+$feature.MatrikelNr+\" \"+$feature.LandsEjerlav+\" (\"+$feature.LandsEjerlavKode+\")\""
lyr_def.featureTable.displayExpressionInfo = exp_info
lyr.setDefinition(lyr_def)

I really appreciate the help 🙂

displayField and displayExpressionInfo are mutually exclusive, i.e., use displayField for displaying a field only and use displayExpressionInfo for displaying an expression. You are passing an expression into displayField, which is why the "$feature" is being prepended.

$feature .... looks like Arcade to me

Hi Dan.

Yeah, I also tried using CIM by setting the displayField property to the required expression. It actually sets it, but it looks strange and doesn't work.

I used this Py code:

lyr_def = lyr.getDefinition("V2")
lyr_def.featureTable.displayField = "\"Matr. nr. \"+$feature.MatrikelNr+\" \"+$feature.LandsEjerlav+\" (\"+$feature.LandsEjerlavKode+\")\""

Which changes it

But for some reason it's adding a $feature. in front of my express. So no luck there. Hopefully this will be added as a possibility in the future.

Thanks for the reply 🙂

It isn't supported in arcpy.

There are old threads to this effect

It isn't under arcpy's layer properties or the recent addition of CIM

I couldn't even find it as an Idea
