Is "LENGTH" no longer an option for CalculateGeometryAttributes()?

Question

Using ArcGIS Pro v3.5.5, and trying to calculate planar feet for a line feature class:

arcpy.management.CalculateGeometryAttributes(in_features=line_fc, geometry_property=[["Length", "LENGTH"]], length_unit="FEET_INT")

However, I'm getting an error that says "LENGTH" is no longer an accepted input value, and that I can only use "LENGTH_GEODESIC" or "LENGTH_3D". It is still listed in ESRI's documentation as an option though, and is also an option when calculating geometry via ArcGIS Pro GUI.

Here is the error:

Wondering if this is a bug, or if it's removal from arcpy() is intentional? For what it's worth, that line of code worked for me in ArcGIS Pro v3.3.2, prior to upgrading to v3.5.5. For now, I've coded up a workaround using !shape.length@feet!

Yes. This should work as well.

@DanPatterson , I'm getting the same error for other feature classes in separate GDBs where "Length" is not being used as a field name.

@VenkataKondepati, after reading the CalculateField documentation more thoroughly, I noticed this syntax can be used: !shape!.getLength('PLANAR', 'FeetInt'), which is helpful because it allows you to control both the measurement method (Geodesic vs Planar) and the output unit.

is "Length" and existing field name in the geodatabase? (checking for a reserved word trigger),

if it isn't try using a different name.
