I am using ArcPro 2.3.0 (just upgraded today). I have a layer of street centerlines and want to symbolize all of them as grey except 2 streets will be a different color based on streetname. This is so simple in ArcMap! Just click on properties- symbology- categories - choose the field - click Add Values - since the streetnames list is so long I always just type it in to add to the list and voila! Then I change color of both categories.
I CANNOT find a way to do this workflow in ArcPro. Here's my (incorrect, apparently) workflow: Go to Appearance - Symbology- choose unique values - then make Field 1 be the streetname....and there I'm stuck. If I click the green X it wants me to build an Arcade expression but I don't want to concatenate or trim anything. If I go below that and click on the classes tab every button I click gives me a problem - I keep generating the entire list and I can't figure out how to remove the extra values - plus if I type the value in - it seems to be making it a new value - not selecting the existing street.
What am I doing wrong? It's a Friday, and I was trying to get this map printed for a customer. I'm using an AGOL basemap so I figured Pro would be best for that and now this silly symbology thing is making me late. I've spent almost 1 hour looking at tutorials and ESRI pages about it - I do not need to calculate anything or display anything fancy - I just want all my streets in grey and these 2 in blue. My hatred of ArcPro grows every day - and I promised myself this would be the year I mastered it, but all I want to do is throw it out the window.
Please some of you Pro experts, have pity on a newbie and point out the simple, non-intuitive way to do this. Thank you!!
