Currently, when working with heavily managed Utility Network (UN) datasets, enterprise administrators cannot scale or automate map production using Python scripts. Subtype Group Layer sublayers isolate their rendering pipeline from the standard ArcPy/CIM environment. When attempting to programmatic change symbols on a Subtype Feature Layer using standard workflows (e.g., layer.symbology or low-level layer.getDefinition('V3')), the application either silently drops the edits, throws an attribute error, or corrupts the internal XML schema validation, throwing a "Requested operation could not be completed" banner and rendering a blank white square in the UI. Even using CIMREGISTRY pointers on dynamically generated CIMUniqueValueClass entries fails because the UI-cached values are hidden from the active layer definition matrix until manually committed via mouse clicks in the Symbology pane. Proposed Solution / API Extension Extend the ArcGIS Pro arcpy.mp or arcpy.cim module to natively support schema-aware unique value mapping on Utility Network sublayers. Specifically: Provide a stable high-level method such as UniqueValueRenderer.addValueCombination([field1, field2], style_item_name) that forces serialization straight into the core map document. Allow Symbol.applyStyleItem() or an equivalent property-setter to interact with read-only subtype symbol objects when a valid style sheet is actively imported into the project items framework.

Need a way to edit and change location of data for Geolocators.

@MelissaJarman - I updated the title. Is that what you were referring to? Sorry for the delay. I had to consolidate my user profile.

Add a way to add in an expression at the field level for each layer within a hosted feature service. This way, the expression doesn't need to be added to each webmap/form. This expression would carry over from the hosted feature service layer and added to the form automatically as well as any popup.

Arcade Templates would be awesome where its portable so you could share custom popups and more.

When publishing and missing a related table or layer, there are no layers or tables identified as missing. This is helpful to understand when there are a ton of relationships added to each layer within a feature service before publishing.

Yes but more interactive like xray for ArcGIS Desktop. Capable of handling Utility Network, LRS and Indoors logic as well. If I want to update existing geodatabases, xray had that ability in a more dynamic way. I didn't know if that was in the plans for the future.

@KoryKramer Will we see a contextual menu of these tools in Pro in the future?

@HannesZiegler There is no way to programmatically or through a batch process update existing sde connection files for the additional properties. In fact, there is no geoprocessing tool to do this. Each connection needs to be manually updated. For medium to large organizations that have many sde connections, this is a problem. The industry is now leaning towards encrypting database instances via tls connections. Once this is done for the GIS person who manages the enterprise geodatabase stack, it is very costly and time consuming. Below is a screenshot of what is added in order to work. Does this help answer your question?

Fixed code highlighting. If anyone has questions, please let me know.

@BruceHaroldCorrect me if I'm wrong, x-ray as a whole has NOT been implemented completely. One piece of the functionality has been implemented which is the reporting aspect of the database model. Changes, import, the way we can update database models such as the Utility Network, ProLRS or Indoors database models will be supported in future releases?

‎11-08-2023

I think this is for reporting purposes only. I don't think it has the functionality of x-ray

@BradNiemandI opened a case because we were getting no results from ArcGIS Javascript 4.2x but in ArcGIS Pro and Webmaps we were receiving results. Going to the Geocoder Service Rest API, no results as well. We used a composite geolocator. One of the 5 geolocators should have come back with a result regardless of if two out of the 5 had Match with no zones set to No when it should be Yes. These locators were created in ArcGIS Pro 2.9. I'm wondering when this functionality came out because the "Match with no Zones" automatically being set didn't happen. The Composite Geocoder should have skipped that one locator and gone to the rest but it didn't. That's why I placed this in the ArcGIS Ideas page because the Geocoding option didn't actually get set automatically. Support Person Identified BUG-000148113 as a possible issue Esri Case #03473800 Recap: Checked that we do not get results on the single line locator from the REST end of the locator when looking up an address without a zone, same is working on the web map. Compared the requests going for "find address candidates" using developer tools We checked that we were able to get results in ArcGIS Pro as well. Since the locator used was a composite locator, we checked all the individual locators and confirmed the zone inputs and made sure "Match with no zone" is yes. There were two locators for which it was not set as "no. After correcting those, we recreated the composite locator and ensured that the "match to no zones" is set to "yes" We published the locator and added the published locator in portal organization > settings > utility network > geocoding. Confirmed that from the REST endpoint when looking for an address without a zone, we get the correct results. Crosschecked that from the web map as well.

When setting up a geolocator and based on field input mapping, automatically set the 'Match with no zones' option.
