APPLY SYMBOLOGY FROM LAYER tool doesn't work correctly

Question

I'm using the APPLY SYMBOLOGY FROM LAYER tool in batch mode. The Input Layers are feature layers (shapefiles) in 2 Group Layers. The Symbology Layer is saved in a separate folder, but is a valid file that works in this project and others.

When RUN, the batch process seems to work but only the last layer in the list is changed.

Any insights?

Thanks a heap.

Thanks again. I did all the steps, same result: Only the last layer is changed. I tried running the tool in batch mode using both an external symbology layer (*.lyrx) and the same layer from withing the new project.

I wonder if it's a corrupt *.aprx?  Can you create a new project, add a new map view, then add the layers in question and finally use the Apply Symbology from Layer workflow (in batch mode) to see if it works as expected?

Thanks for reply. I have version 3.4.2.  All the feature layers I'm using work fine in other projects, including the batch input layers and symbology layer. The symbology layer is a *.lyrx file.
