Make Route Event Layer — Exclude text fields from FMEAS and TMEAS pick lists

Bud — Fri, 22 Dec 2023 01:15:40 GMT

ArcGIS Pro 3.2.1:

In ArcMap, the Display Route Events dialog excluded text fields from the From-Measure and To-Measure pick lists.

But the Make Route Event Layer geoprocessing tool doesn't do that in ArcGIS Pro, and as far as I know, Pro doesn't have a Display Route Events dialog.

Could text fields be excluded from the GP tool measure parameter pick lists to make it easier to choose the correct FMEAS and TMEAS fields?

Use case: Our measure fields are actually called EVT_FROM and EVT_TO, which users often confuse with our textual FROM_ and TO_ fields. When the user chooses a text field by mistake, they get confused about why the event layer doesn't work as expected.
