Definition query UI/UX question

AmyRoust — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 15:49:17 GMT

This is in ArcGIS Pro 3.3.0.

When I am setting up a definition query in Pro on my address point layer, there doesn't appear to be a function that reduces the options in the pick list when you start to enter a value. For example, let's say I'm looking for 400 Main St. If I type in 400 and click the drop-down, shouldn't I see a filtered list of addresses that start with 400?

I thought perhaps I needed to click the More button to load the full list of values, but even after doing that, my pick list gives me every possible option in the feature class.

If that's not how the definition query menu is designed to work, I want to put in a suggestion on ArcGIS Ideas because this isn't user friendly.

I would definitely recommend putting in that idea, because I would like to kudo it.

What happens if you click the drop down first and then enter 400?

Same thing - no filtering occurs.
