Can't select features and open attribute table for map image layers in ArcGIS Pro.

SjurKlemetsen

When I open map image layers from the portal in ArcGIS Pro, I am unable to select features and open the attribute table. I am able to open the the pop up for features using the Explore tool, but nothing else. Is this how its supposed to be, or am I doing something wrong?

I am using ArcGIS Pro 2.9. I tried to update to 3.0, but it still didnt work. My company uses a concurrent license, and we use arcgis enterprise to share maps and features. I am able to open the attribute table for our feature layers.

Thank you!

As far as I understand this is expected behavior. You need a feature service (feature layer) to be able to select objects in ArcGIS Pro. You can enable feature access capability on your map service in ArcGIS Server Manager to achieve this.

Got it. Thank you very much!

@SjurKlemetsen unfortunately that is correct; I'm hoping you won't need to wait too long to get the functionality included in ArcGIS Pro, as it is in the production plan

Got it. Thank you. 😀 So it is not possible opening the attribute tables as well?

hi @SjurKlemetsen,

As @AndreasHall mentioned, unfortunately that is a known limitation. Good news is that it is in production plan.

you can follow it here in this idea: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/arcgis-pro-2-4-2-exporting-data-tool-from-map/idi-p/926852 or with this enhancement ID - ENH-000131766. You can also add your requirements, workflows etc. if you want to.

You need a feature service (feature layer) to be able to select objects in ArcGIS Pro. You can enable feature access capability on your map service in ArcGIS Server Manager to achieve this.

A quick note on this - you don't necessarily need to enable feature access capability to add a layer of a map service (aka map image) layer as a feature layer in Pro (or even any web client app). When you add a layer in Pro (or in a web app), you need to use a layer url (instead of map service url).

E.g.

https://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/SampleWorldCities/MapServer (pls note it ends with /MapServer) URL add a map service layer in a client app.
where https://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/SampleWorldCities/MapServer/0 (note it ends with /0) add a feature layer.

please let me know if you have any questions.
