In ArcGIS Pro Questions, force user to specify Pro Version and Datatype

Bud — Wed, 28 May 2025 18:21:24 GMT

In the ArcGIS Pro Questions community, I wonder if it would help to force users to tell us the following in mandatory fields (freeform textbox?):

ArcGIS Pro Version (i.e. ArcGIS Pro 3.2.2)
Datatype (i.e. Oracle 18c 10.7.1 EGDB)

That would avoid us needing to ask, "What version of Pro are you using, and what kind of geodatabase?" That could save us all a lot of time.

I’ve run into version-related confusion on the forums too—especially with ArcGIS Pro updates introducing major changes. Adding a required field for version would save a lot of back-and-forth. It’s the same logic I apply in lead capture with Phonexa: collect key data upfront to avoid miscommunication and streamline resolution. Saves everyone time in the long run.

@JesseCloutier @KoryKramer

Is it possible to implement this idea?

Hi @Bud, this is a feature request that's been part of our team conversations and we have brought it up with our platform vendor as a wish list item. It's not something we'll be able to implement on our own, but know that we recognize there is interest in seeing a solution along these lines so that we're continuing to explore options if/as they become available.
