What "Instant App" templates should be used to create a desktop app that allows Contributors to edit? I figured it would be the "Web Editor" Instant App template, but found that requires a Creator (aka: ArcGIS Pro Basic) license. Which is pretty dumb if you ask me...

@RClavero Thank you for clarifying that Contributors should be able to make edits using Instant Apps. Can you verify that Contributors CANNOT use the Web Editor Instant App, and maybe explain why? What app should I build to enable my Contributors to edit features outside of just the standard web map interface?

While creating a new field and calculating in a value is indeed a solution, it is not convenient for analysts that don't own the feature service and can't make a schema change. It also is best practice to not make schema changes to feature services that are used for active Survey123 forms. Plus, I don't want to have to re-calculate the field every time I want to execute a query, since I am using an active feature service that is continually receiving updates and new attachments from field staff. An Arcade Expression or SQL query that doesn't need to change the database would be a preferred solution.

I like the idea of using the 'body::esri:visible' column instead of the 'relevant' column so that I don't accidentally loose data if a user toggles the wrong choice button. But I am finding it causes more problems in cases where I conditionally want to require users to answer an additional question given a previous answer. For instance, if there is a pick list that includes an 'other' choice, which then reveals an additional text box for them to describe the 'other' condition which I want to be required to complete. If I use the 'visible' field to hide the 'other' text and give it a 'required' value of 'yes', the field is always required whether hidden or not, preventing the user from submitting the form without answering a question which isn't relevant to them. Until there is a solution to this, I will need to stick with using the 'relevant' column instead of 'visible'.

YES!!! So frustrating! For reference, I am a consultant who works with many clients across many ArcGIS Organizations. Trying to figure out which client staff have what accounts linked to what organization with which permissions is a huge pain, frustrates the client, and makes us look unprofessional. I want to be able to search for the user (whether they own any items or not), see what organization they belong to, and whether they can even join a collaboration group if I invite them. This will help me send them the info they need to relay to their admin so they can join our collaboration groups. And PS: the error messages you get when trying to add a member to your group that either aren't in the correct org or don't have the correct permissions are totally unhelpful. Please improve this!

I was surprised no one had created an Idea to get this implemented, so I did: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/attribute-rule-equivilent-to-quot-last-value-quot/idi-p/1670752/jump-to/first-unread-message Please upvote!

Add the ability to create an Attribute Rule in ArcGIS Pro that is equivilent to the "Last Value" method that was available in the Attribute Assistance Add-In in ArcMap. Example: if digitizing many features from a plan set, it saves time to have certain fields like "Install Date", "Location Source", "Plan Set Number", etc. be automatically populated with the last value you entered in an edit session. Once you switch to a new plan set, you enter the new values, and the Last Value is updated to the new value and populates going forward. This is different from setting default attributes in the Create Feature Template, although editing your default attributes in the feature template is the way to achieve this, currently. However, this can be cumbersome if you have A LOT of different templates for different feature types, subtypes, sizes, etc. *Bonus points if we can click easily review, clear and/or update the value stored in the Last Value variable, like we could when using the Attribute Assistant toolbar. This may not need to be an Attribute Rule, if something more equivilent could be achieved by adding functionality to the Create Feature Template properties, like being able to enter a variable instead of a value (i.e.: %LastValue%).

I've been experimenting with similar workflows and have a thought (unfortunately I can't code or test this at the moment): Instead of creating an insert rule to calculate the new ID when the line is split, what it if you allow the new line to be created with the existing ID so that you end up with duplicate IDs? Then create a separate Validation rule to be run at the end of your edit session that looks for duplicate IDs, saves the ID to a variable, selects the shorter of the 2 lines (or maybe selects all lines that are not the longest line to account for more than 1 duplicate if there were multiple splits), writes the existing ID to the parent ID field and uses the db sequence to create the new ID(s). This could also help you find other duplicate IDs you didn't know about 😉!

You could add a new binary field for ReviewLater. Then, while you are in an edit session rematching, you could update this field with a value to filter out with a query. The next time you go to rematch addresses, turn a definition query on the layer to filter out the records you want to skip. Since you know the record number you've already reviewed, I'm guessing you could create this new field, Select by Attributes and Field Calculate all the records you've already touched but want to skip so you can put this into practice right away. Going forward, add the new field to the Rematch Address Pane and make sure to update the value when you get to a record you want to skip (setting a domain would be a good idea) while you work your way through the list.

I can't believe I'm the first to Kudo this idea. The Pick from Map tool in the Rematch Addresses Pane drives me INSANE! Like you, if there is not a good candidate listed from the locator used for the Geocoding, I switch to the 'Locate' tool which uses the XY Provider locator and usually find the correct location. But I can't switch back and forth between these panes and keep the Pick From Map tool active; every time I try to reactive the Pick from Map tool the map automatically pans back to the bad candidates and I can't get back to my Locate candidates without inactivating the tool. BANANAS! FYI: ArcGIS Pro 3.3 (its been a problem since 2x)

Update: I ran "Can I run this" for my version of ArcGIS Pro and saw that I did not have the required 20 GB of free disk space (not RAM or GPU). I was currently at 185 out of the 200 GB assigned to my virtual machine. I cleaned out the Download and TEMP folders, which got it down to 170 GB (!). I'm not sure what all is getting saved by Pro in those TEMP folders, but clearing the cache in Pro does not clean them out. Once I deleted all the data in the TEMP folder, I was able to render the layout, save and move on. We'll see if the issue comes back if the storage space creeps back up, or if it's something else being created in TEMP (C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Temp).

I and others in my organization are getting the same esri_mapping_{}SnappingButton errors in Diagnostic Monitor in Pro 3.3 in multiple APRXs. I removed my Add-Ins and it made no change. Task Rate and Waiting are lit yellow, with 3 Foreground Threads, but the map and layout elements won't render. I have to force quit Pro currently. Paging @KoryKramer

I came here to figure out the same thing. Disappointed its not an option yet. I created an Idea to see if we can get this functionality: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/convert-annotation-to-graphics/idi-p/1654601/jump-to/first-unread-message

A user of mine recently ran into an issue where they had converted feature labels to an annotation feature class in ArcGIS Pro. After the conversion, they made several edits to the text. Then they found out they need to use these labels in many maps with multiple scales that will be printed in layouts. Instead of creating an annotation feature class at each scale, they would like to convert the edited annotation features to graphics so that they will display at the appropriate size at any map scale. But there is currently no way to convert these annotation features to map graphics in ArcGIS Pro. Would adding the ability to convert annotation to graphics be useful for cases like this (or other cases you can think of)?

Yeah, this is currently annoying. I would use this functionality if it was available.
