Strange Python vs Arcade symbology issue

For the TWP+"_Sections" layer I have to set the lblClass.expression with python, for the TWP+"_QRT_sections" layer I have to set it with Arcade, otherwise neither layer works! It's the strangest thing. The problem repeats with each new dataset.

Here's the code in question:

for m in aprx.listMaps("Map"): for lyr in m.listLayers(TWP+"_Sections"): sym = lyr.symbology lblClass = lyr.listLabelClasses()[0] print("Layer name: " + lyr.name) lblClass.expression = "\"<FNT name= 'Arial' size= '14' style= 'bold'>\" + \"<CLR red= '0' green= '38' blue= '138'>\" + [FRSTDIVNO] + \"</CLR>\" + \"</FNT>\"" #lblClass.expression = "\"<FNT name= 'Arial' size= '14' style= 'bold'>\" + \"<CLR red= '0' green= '38' blue= '138'>\" + $feature.FRSTDIVNO + \"</CLR>\" + \"</FNT>\"" lyr.showLabels = True sym.renderer.symbol.color = {'RGB' : [0, 0, 0, 0]} sym.renderer.symbol.outlineColor = {'RGB' : [0, 38, 138, 100]} sym.renderer.symbol.outlineWidth = 4 lyr.symbology = sym p.saveACopy(os.path.join("CURRENT")) for lyr in m.listLayers(TWP+"_QRT_sections"): sym = lyr.symbology lblClass = lyr.listLabelClasses()[0] print("Layer name: " + lyr.name) #lblClass.expression = "\"<FNT name= 'Arial' size ='10' style= 'bold'>\" + \"<CLR red= '137' green= '137' blue= '68'>\" + [SECDIVNO] + \"</CLR>\" + \"</FNT>\"" lblClass.expression = "\"<FNT name= 'Arial' size ='10' style= 'bold'>\" + \"<CLR red= '137' green= '137' blue= '68'>\" + $feature.SECDIVNO + \"</CLR>\" + \"</FNT>\"" lyr.showLabels = True sym.renderer.symbol.color = {'RGB' : [0, 0, 0, 0]} sym.renderer.symbol.outlineColor = {'RGB' : [171, 205, 102, 100]} sym.renderer.symbol.outlineWidth = 4 lyr.symbology = sym p.saveACopy(os.path.join("CURRENT"))

Any ideas?

Any chance the label class(es) for TWP+"_QRT_sections" in the map are set to arcade language and the other to Python?

That's probably it. To set the expression engine, you have to use the CIM:

for lyr in m.listLayers(TWP+"_Sections"): cim = lyr.getDefinition("V3") for lblClass in cim.labelClasses: lblClass.expressionEngine = "Arcade" lyr.setDefinition(cim) # rest of the code
