Label appears, but not polygon or popup...

KaraG — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 21:40:22 GMT

Hi, I have a layer of polygons hosted on AGOL that I have been pulling into ArcGIS Pro to edit. I have been adding fields, populating those fields, setting up labels, customizing popups. At some point, a certain class of polygons stopped appearing and I have no idea why. The ones that are not appearing share a specific attribute. The weird thing is, the labels still show up. They are also in the attribute table. But the polygon is not there on the map, and if I click where the polygon should be, there is no popup.

I had an unrelated definition query applied. I turned that off and it did not make a difference. I turned off the label classes I had created - no difference. I closed ArcPro and opened the layer from AGOL anew - no difference. I have no clue why these polygons are no longer there. Please help!

That sounds like a symbology issue. If you're symbolizing by unique values and you remove a symbol class but don't have an "all other values" symbol set, the data will not draw.

It will still label since you haven't filtered it out, but you can't identify it because it isn't drawing-- there's nothing to click on.

To fix, use any of the following:

"Add all values" AlfredBaldenweck_2-1726678476452.png, "Add unlisted values"AlfredBaldenweck_3-1726678499194.png, or "Show all other values"

I suspect @AlfredBaldenweck answer is on the spot.

Because of this, when I have a Pro project for editing, I normally include the 'all other values' in the symbology so that draws and makes pretty obvious when this is going on.

This way, any that don't match your symbology will draw with the color assigned to no other values and are easy to spot.

Ah! You are spot on! Thank you. I clicked show all other values and they appeared!

However, I seem to have really messed something up, because I tried to open the attribute table and I received an error: "Failed to open table. Error: code:400, Bad syntax in request." And when I try to change the symbology, it just says, "Requested operation could not be completed."

Any idea why this is happening? I did publish the layer to AGOL with a definition query, which I've just read could cause the bad syntax error...

Oof. That might be a question better asked over on ArcGIS Online Questions - Esri Community

I usually only get that error with large hosted datasets.

When I do, I just close Pro and re-open the map. Eventually, the ESRI servers will start responding and the error goes away. Not sure if yours is the same issue.

Thanks - I will try that!
