arcpy.management.Clip does not use mosaic dataset seamlines

Question

Hi All,

I'm clipping rectangular areas from a mosiac dataset. The resulting clipped portions do not match what ArcGIS Pro is rendering, as though it is ignoring the seamlines and just selecting the image nearest to the center of the frame. Has anyone else seen this problem or have any suggestions on how to fix it?

Here is the python call I'm using (stand alone code).

arcpy.Clip_management(in_raster=mdspath,out_raster=cliptiff,in_template_dataset=cliprect,maintain_clipping_extent="NO_MAINTAIN_EXTENT")

The area in the mosaic dataset

The area returned by the clip

The problem appears to be related to the two layers of mosaic dataset. We have mosaicked the frames in flightlines in a set of mosaic dataset and then mosaicked the flightline mosaic datasets in a second mosaic dataset. The flgihtline mosaic datasets clip fine, but the mosaic dataset that includes them does not.

Unfortunately, the problem does not seem to be related to the boundary.
