I am posting here because Pro is what started my desire to find this. Where can a person get, hopefully in one place, a comprehensive list of changes to software. For example, I had been forgetting to update my Pro software and did it just recently, however, now only then did I discover that I must upgrade License Manager to continue to licensing Pro through Portal. Why a minor version change requires changing a existing, supported, server stack is an aside with strong opinions; but where could I find this information? I found it on the software requirements page for Pro 2.9 but nothing in the release's blog post, which seems mostly focused around marketing. Is there a secret sys admin page where I can just a list, hopefully less pictures and more text, of changes from version to version? The ArcGIS Pro 2.9 Issues Addressed seems to only address bug fixes and I could not find any notice of the License Manager requirement. The Release Notes page for ArcGIS Pro 2.9 doesn't seem to address this either. ... View more

I would like for my organization to have the ability to place a default 'Terms of Use' on any new item created within the organization. A place in the organization's settings screen to add a custom block of text that would be inserted in the 'Terms of Use' as the default when a person creates a new item in AGO, within my organization. Otherwise, I have to train each user to find and copy the block of text from my lawyer each time they create a public map. It ends up being inconsistent most of the time. ... View more

I have been experimenting with the REST endpoint for AGO and was trying to use the URL as a remote ArcGIS server connection in Pro. It connects and displays all my expected services/layers. I can add Feature Service layers to my maps and they behave as expected.  However, adding a Map Service layer, I am greeted by a vague error message "Failed to add data:" If I add the Map Service from the Portal, it load successfully. I can load the Map Service using QGIS. Am I abusing the REST API or is there another issue? Any suggestions? Are more useful error messages coming down the pipeline for Pro? My BIGGEST complaint about the ESRI ecosystem is incredible opaque error messages. I have made sure Pro is up-to-date, reinstalled it, tried it logged into the portal, not logged in, changed networks, changed computers. I just don't know if it permissions, missing DLL, network error, etc because the only thing I have to work with is "Failed to add data:". ... View more

I have FGDB that I am trying to build out for in-the-field surveys through AGO and Collector. Below is a mock diagram of the tables that I am having trouble. FeatureLayer1 is existing features. FeatureLayer2 is newly created features.These are simple, unattributed relationships.   In Pro: If I create a new feature in FeatureLayer2 and then a new record for SharedTable1, everything is saved without issue. If I select a feature in FeatureLayer1 and create a record in Table1 and then a SharedTable1 record, everything is saved without issue. I can even upload the edits done in Pro to AGO and they appear in Collector as expected.   In Collector: If I create a new feature in FeatureLayer2 and then a new record for SharedTable1, when I tell it to submit the record it says, "1 or more attributes failed to submit". If I select a feature in FeatureLayer1 and create a record in Table1 and then a SharedTable1 record, when I tell it to submit the record it says, "1 or more attributes failed to submit".   If I recreate the relationships, like below. All record creation is submitted and works as expected in both Pro and Collector.   Am I forgetting something rather obvious about relationship integrity in the first relationship design; is Pro ignoring something that Collector is catching? Or is there a caveat about using FGDB and hosting this on AGO or using Collector with this design?   Also, is there a log for Collector, either in the app or AGO that could help diagnose this problem? "1 or more attributes failed to submit" is an extremely unhelpful error message.   Thanks. ... View more

I am working on trying to get a dataset that was lazily collected and processed by a contractor, fixed. There are values in the fields that have lot of leading, trailing whitespace and in some cases both leading and trailing whitespace.  At time more than one whitespace. I would expect: the Insert Values control in the Field Calculator to show all unique values found in the field. What actually happens: the Insert Value control ignores all whitespaces and incorrectly identifies different values as a single value The values: "Yes" " Yes" "Yes " "Yes  " Are all different values and should be treated as such. I wanted to report a bug but the support page claims I don't belong to a organisation, which I do. And I shouldn't need a support case to report a bug, I don't need someone to fawn over me, it just needs better programming, unit testing and fixed. ... View more

Will Earth support Layer Packages (*.lpk)? Support the rendering of feature labels? We use Explorer Desktop in production as we handle sensitive data that web portals are not appropriate for use.  It is kind of bad form that Explorer Desktop was retired and Earth's functionality makes it only slightly better than toy software. Is there a ticket centre, road map, mailing list, etc. that shows progression of the development of this software? ... View more
