1000 yes votes! Albeit I'd want the ability to control both what item details get flagged for mandatory (e.g can't save without description, can't share with public unless terms of use are populated) as well as item types. You can only populate the item details AFTER a data store has been registered, for example.

How to use python to update user profile description with multiple lines? Using arcgis.gis module | ArcGIS API for Python I've tried: for u in range(len(users)): users[u].update(description='First line' chr(10)'Second line') for u in range(len(users)): users[u].update(description='First line' + chr(10)+ 'Second line') for u in range(len(users)): users[u].update(description='First line \n Second line') and every single possible variation of python new line and all I get is What I need is: Declaring a string doesn't work either. No matter what, it puts all the text on a single line in the profile.

This took me forever to figure out. ArcGIS Data Store utility reference—Portal for ArcGIS | Documentation for ArcGIS Enterprise contains command examples. What worked for me was: configurebackuplocation --operation register --store tileCache --location "type=azure;location=[blob container name];name=DEV_STDS_BU;username=[azure storage account name];password=[secret access key]" Note you need a separate container for each datastore

Multiple users in our org with current maintenance getting this error message despite registering and correctly logging in. Just a continuous error loop in IE and Chrome, after clearing cache. Why is ESRI blocking registered users current on their maintenance?

Not supported.....or supported? I too am looking at data and config store replication using DFS. What other way to sync the two IS supported?

This is another one of those frustrating lack of equivalency issues that baffles me. Why is an idea or an enhancement request needed?

For really flat terrain, the spatial analysis tools in ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro are really poor at determining flow direction from raster cell to raster cell in flat DEMs, despite the inclusion of D-INF flow direction recently in the logic. You should perform your DEM pre-processing in Whitebox GAT | Home then bring it back into Pro and do D-inf flow direction.

From How To: Create Survey123 for ArcGIS surveys that connect to non-federated ArcGIS Server services , what is the purpose of this restriction: The server must not use web-tier authentication (for example, it cannot use IWA or PKI authentication). Since we're unable to federate our existing servers with PTL, and we're required to use WEB TIER authentication, this essentially prohibits us from use 123.

No resolution. I've tried every licensing scenario, concurrent, named user, offline. Script works perfectly every time when I run in the Py window, will not run as a scheduled task, period. Pro/Py 3.5.x does not have a bright future (none, in fact) with us if we can't run scheduled data management tasks, of which I have about 100, all of which ran perfectly as scheduled tasks in Arc/Py 2.7.x. Why take something that works and break it?

In ArcMap, when using the "Add Data" tool, I can sort using name or type, which is pretty important when you have a folder with lots and lots of data in it. In Pro 1.4.1, however, you cannot sort on anything when using the Add Data tool. This seems like a pretty fundamental part of any software tool, and based on my limited experience with GUI development, someone would have had to do a lot of extra work to remove the sort (grid) tools from a file dialogue.
