ArcGIS Pro: Field View Issue

Question

Good Morning,

I seem to be having a problem when making edits within the Fields View.  I tried to uncheck the visibility on most of the field in my table, but when I go back to the table all of the fields are visible--as if I hadn't made the change.

Am I missing something, or is anybody else able to replicate this?  ArcMap does this without much fuss or mystery.

Thanks!

I am using 2.1.2, and still have the same issue. Is there a easier way to hide multiple fields than hiding one by one? I want to hide about 30 fields. If I can use the visibility check boxes in Fields View, that will solve this issue.

Rachael,

I checked with the Data Management group's product owner and he let me know they do have a plan to improve that experience at a future release of ArcGIS Pro.  Thanks again!

Regards,

Hi Jeremy,

This was on a shape file feature class.  I did get a message that if I closed my fields view I would lose changes, but the message didn't ask me if I wanted to save changes.

After looking around a bit more I saw that a new tab came up on the navigation bar for fields, which is where the option to save was.  Once I saved it, the data table did update as expected.  A bit of a goof on my part as I was looking more in the data table / fields table menus for the option.

Having the option to save via that unsaved changes dialog would be helpful though.  Thanks for the response!
