How to persist custom information to a project.

Question

Hello everyone,

Pro saves template favorites in the project. Since the favorites are tied to a specific map, it is very likely that they will be saved within the "MapProjectItem". I also need to persist combinations of such EditingTemplates. Does anyone have an idea how I can, for example, couple a json as a custom string to a MapProjectItem (or to the map)?  Are there other ways to persist custom information in the project?

Best regards

Dirk

You can persist custom project or application settings as shown here:

ProGuide Custom settings · Esri/arcgis-pro-sdk Wiki (github.com)

Thanks,

but it would be good to have a link to the map. Otherwise I have to do complex administration when the map changes or is even deleted.

Found this, seems to be a solution.

Hi,

Look at the ArcGIS Pro community sample BackStage_PropertyPage.

Add-in module has two overridden methods:  OnReadSettingsAsync and OnWriteSettingsAsync. They could help you to save your info to project and get it back.
