No way to Favorite a GeoProcessing toolbox like you can for a regular toolbox

I thought I posted this but cannot find it.

For a regular toolbox you can Right Click Favorite a regular Toolbox

But a GP tool has no such option from both server or the Portal search

In addition you can Add to Analysis Gallery from the Server connection but not from a Portal Search.

Also Add Favorite is missing from History pane for GP tools but is there for regular toolboxes.

This all seems very inconsistent. I see no reason not to be able to Favorite from the Catalog Search. Teaching our users to figure out adding a server connection simply to add a GP tool makes no sense.

What is weird is if I open up the AGOL item for the GP tool there is a Favorite button there that I can add it. But then the user has to also go into a browser and login. So it is possible, I think just an oversight.

Also there seems to be no way to add a GP tool from a URL in Pro?

So overall we are kinda stuck. These GP tools are sweet but the user has to search for them every time now with no way to Favorite.

Open to ideas.

Thanks a lot

Today we tried to make a custom toolbar for Pro and we cannot figure out how to get that to work either.

Gives error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component. I can find no posts or documentation on this. Regular toolboxes again work fine.

So we have all these cool custom Geoprocessing tools and no way for our users to find them and use them.

Any ideas here?

thanks
