Unable to save new polygons in 2.3

LiamTurley — Fri, 25 Jan 2019 22:06:09 GMT

Updated to 2.3 unable to save new polygons while digitizing. No error code just message informing me it does not work.

Hi Liam,

Where is the data sourced from (ex. File Geodatabase? Enterprise Geodatabase?, etc.)
On the editing tab, in the Manage Edits group, there is a Status tool that maybe can give some clues: Get started editing—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop
Is the problem specific to a certain ArcGIS Pro Project?

Thank you,

Scott

Good afternoon Scott,

Thank you for replying to my post. The data is being sourced from a geodatabase and it is not project specific. Under the Status tool, it indicates features are editable. I have also noticed that the same applies to adding lines and points, as well as it is not an issue when adding polygons to an existing shapefile, it saves just fine. Feature classes seem to be the issue. I have not done anything different then I would while creating and editing with version 2.2.

Thank you,

Liam

I saw that post and thought the same thing and checked to see if it was selected (it was not) it just does not want to save edits within the feature class (making new attributes).

Thanks for the reply, Liam. That is definitely odd behavior. A few more questions:

Is the issue specific to a certain File Geodatabase (FGDB) or does it occur in all FGDBs?
If so, when and how was the FGDB created?
Where it it sourced on disk (local drive or network location)?
Do you have ArcMap installed on your machine? (Perhaps you can test with it too)
Do you have another machine you can try it on?

If we can't get to the bottom of it here in a decent time frame, please call Esri Technical Support at 888-377-4575.

Hi Scott,

I tried editing a feature from another geodatabase and it seems to work just fine. I don't know why but it seems that my working geodatabase is corrupt, it was fine until the update. I made a new geodatabase and it seems to work fine.

Thank you for your help.

Liam

Hi Liam,

I'm glad you have a way forward; however, I think it would be worthwhile for us to look further into the issue - if you are willing, of course. It's probably best if we did this by opening a case with Esri Technical Support. The phone number is 888-377-4575. Please let me know once you have an open case, or if you hit any roadblocks.

Thank you,

Scott

Just for fun, see if you can make the same edits to the offending gdb with ArcMap.

I also have this problem. I cannot edit any feature classes. I even created a new one, then tried to edit and it doesn't stick. Whether you try to move a feature, edit vertices, etc. It just reverts back to the original shape/location after clicking on "finish". Seems like a major bug. I didn't have this problem at all before installing 2.3

Hi Scott,

I'll mention the same thing I said to Liam: Please open a case with Esri Technical Support. The phone number is 888-377-4575. Please let me know once you have an open case, or if you hit any roadblocks.

Liam didn't see the issue in another File Geodatabase. Do you see the same problem in different or newly created File Geodatabase?

Thank you,

Hi Scott,

I did not have the same problem when I created a new/empty file geodatabase

so I think it is the same as Liam. I was also able to edit another feature

class (points anyway) from one of my preexisting databases.

Hi Scott,

Ok so that's good. We'd still like to get to the bottom of it. It's probably best if we work through a Support case, but here are the type of questions I would ask:

Can you import (you can use copy/paste) the problem feature class into the working File Geodatabase? Does it still exhibit the editing issue?
Was the problem geodatabase a Project File Geodatabase (FGDB) that was part of the last ArcGIS Pro Project you worked on before upgrading to 2.3?
Do any other Project FGDB's have the same problem?

Thanks for any further insight.
