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%). ...

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)? ... View more
