Mitered Buffer in Modify Features Tool

Pretty simple: when I use the Buffer tool in the Modify Features pane, I don't get to select the type of buffer.

In pretty much every other place that buffers are used in Pro, from symbology to tracing offsets, I get to pick the style, but not here. What gives? Sometimes a guy just wants to buffer one shape by a custom distance, without using a GP tool and without getting rounded corners.

Hi @jcarlson

FYI for lines we have the Square end option:

Are you wanting this for polygons too?

Thanks!

Scott

@Scott_HarrisGood to know! I have honestly never buffered a line with the tool, so I didn't know that. Yes, I'd love to see it for polygons as well.

This would be great. Currently, to do this, you must perform a Graphic Buffer (which itself does not have an option to do a single side buffer) then append it to the layer.
