In the definition query tab, indicate if a matches-only join has been applied

When investigating an existing layer in a map, I often check to see if there’s a definition query on the layer.

But I typically don’t think to check for a matches-only join on the layer too. Yet, a matches-only join is very important information to know about, and functions similar to what can be done in a definition query: omit rows.

So I think it would be useful if the definition query tab in the layer properties indicated if a matches-only join has been applied. That would tell me that rows are potentially being omitted and I need to go investigate the joins.

Could Esri consider adding that functionality?

Thanks.

Yes. Love it! This would cut down on the guessing game and would also illustrate if their may be something wrong with your data.
