Reset button for assignment of unique numeric IDs for sharing web layers

I think it would be helpful to have a button next to the current setting for unique IDs that resets the number count of unique IDs for layers in a map in a top to bottom order. That way if you need to redo the unique IDs while developing a new service you can just hit a button instead of opening every layer and manually updating them. It would probably be a good idea to have a confirmation box popup to confirm the action.

@Joshua-Young

This reset option was introduced in ArcGIS Pro 3.6. Can you pls try and let us know? Please note that this action is undo/redo-able, so that if you make some changes by accident, you can roll it back

It would probably be a good idea to have a confirmation box popup to confirm the action.

That is something we don't have currently. We will look at that and see if we could do something about that.

Thanks

We are on ArcGIS Pro 3.5. We use ArcGIS Enterprise so we always try to match paired versions (3.5 and 11.5 currently). We plan to upgrade to ArcGIS Pro 3.7 and ArcGIS Enterprise 12.1 when they are release.

It looks like the what is in your screenshot is what I had in mind and I would rather have the undo/redo than a confirmation box now that you mention it.

Thanks @Joshua-Young

With that I'm going to close it as implemented.

Yes, please mark this as implemented. I did not even think about looking at the change log for 3.6 first. I will keep that in mind in the future.

That is alright.
