Can the Calculate Field toolbar remain open permanently in the attribute table?

ArchitSrivastava

I am using the new "Calculate Field toolbar" in the ArcGIS Pro attribute table.

After opening an attribute table, I click "Calculate" to display the toolbar. However, when I close the attribute table and open it again, the Calculate Field toolbar is no longer displayed, and I have to open it manually each time.

Is there a setting or customization option that allows the Calculate Field toolbar to remain enabled or automatically reopen whenever an attribute table is opened?

I am not attaching a video, but the workflow and capability are described in this Esri article:

I am using ArcGIS Pro 3.7.1

It doesn't appear to be possible. It is always available but there isn't any setting within the toolbar or the Project Options, Table backstage to allow it to persist open.

Floating the table, then minimizing, then re-enlarging keeps it open. But as soon as it is closed, and opened, it opens in "docked" state.

Perhaps an "Idea" may be in order, or contact the people in the link you posted

ArcGIS Pro 3.7.1 doesn’t have a setting to make the Calculate Field toolbar in an attribute table persist (stay enabled) or automatically reopen when you close and reopen the attribute table. It’s a per-table-view UI state, so you currently have to click Calculate again after reopening the table. You may want to contribute an ArcGIS Pro Idea for this functionality if it's not already listed there.

Thank you @DanPatterson and @Robert_LeClair

That confirms what I was seeing. It looks like the Calculate Field toolbar is available when needed, but there is currently no setting to keep it open permanently or automatically reopen it after closing and reopening the attribute table.

The floating table workaround is helpful to know. If the table is floated and minimized instead of closed, the toolbar can stay available, but once the table is closed and opened again, it resets.

Thanks a lot for guiding me on this. I was trying to figure it out for a few days now.

Based on the suggestions here, I went ahead and created an ArcGIS Pro Idea for this functionality:

Feel free to let me know if I missed any important information that should be included in the idea details.
