Pro arcpy - setting time property on layer or feature class

Question

How can I set the time properties for a feature class or a layer via arcpy? For example, it appears that the layerTime classes are not available in Pro when compared to ArcMap?

Angus Hooper‌, Aleksandra Zietara‌, layer time properties are accessible via the CIM and embedded in the feature table (CIMFeatureTable) properties. See:

* CIMTimeTableDefinition
* CIMTimeDataDefinition
* CIMTimeDisplayDefinition
* CIMTimeDimensionDefinition

I'm not sure how long those items have been exposed in the CIM, but it's been at least since 2.5. Hope that helps! 🙂

Angus, have you ever found a solution to this problem?

A lot is different in on the mapping side

But for sure Joshua Bixby‌ says no in this thread

Does Pro Py have a method to access the time property in a time-enabled layer?

and I can't find one either or a replacement in CIM

Python CIM access—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

But, on a lark, have you just tried replacing 'mapping' with 'mp' ?  I don't have a time-enable layer to check, perhaps it is just missing from the help docs

arcpy.mapping.Layer(r'C:\Project\Data\Time\TemperatureWithTime.lyr')

arcpy.mp.Layer(r'C:\Project\Data\Time\TemperatureWithTime.lyr')
