How to Modify Popup Fields in ArcGIS Pro with Arcpy

Hi,

I'm trying to use arcpy to modify the popup configuration for a map in ArcGIS Pro 3.4.2. The dataset is a Utility Network and the map is configured with subtype layers. My code runs without error, but the popup is not changed on the map, it continues to show all the fields instead of just the 4 fields that I want to show.

This is the code that I'm using. I included 2 version of the "configure_popup_fields" function. Both functions return no error, but the popup is not updated. I am running the code using notebook inside the project.

import arcpy def configure_popup_fields(project_path, map_name, layer_name, desired_fields): """ Configure popup fields for a feature service layer using correct CIMPopup classes Parameters: project_path (str): Full path to the .aprx project file, or 'current' for current project map_name (str): Name of the map layer_name (str): Name of the layer desired_fields (list): List of field names to show in popup """ try: # Open the project aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(project_path) # Get the map and layer target_map = next((m for m in aprx.listMaps() if m.name == map_name), None) target_layer = next((l for l in target_map.listLayers() if l.name == layer_name), None) if not target_layer: print("Layer not found") return # Get the CIM definition layer_cim = target_layer.getDefinition('V2') # Create the table media info and set the fields media = arcpy.cim.CIMPopup.CIMTableMediaInfo() media.fields = desired_fields # Create popup info and set the media info popup = arcpy.cim.CIMPopup.CIMPopupInfo() popup.mediaInfos = [media] # Set the popup info on the layer layer_cim.popupInfo = popup # Apply the changes target_layer.setDefinition(layer_cim) print("Popup configuration updated successfully") except Exception as e: print(f"Error configuring popup: {str(e)}") def configure_popup_fields(project_path, map_name, layer_name, desired_fields): """ Configure popup fields for a feature service layer using CIM specification Parameters: project_path (str): Full path to the .aprx project file, or 'current' for current project map_name (str): Name of the map layer_name (str): Name of the layer desired_fields (list): List of field names to show in popup """ try: # Open the project aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(project_path) # Get the map and layer target_map = next((m for m in aprx.listMaps() if m.name == map_name), None) target_layer = next((l for l in target_map.listLayers() if l.name == layer_name), None) if not target_layer: print("Layer not found") return # Get the CIM definition layer_cim = target_layer.getDefinition('V2') # Create popup info if it doesn't exist popup = arcpy.cim.CIMPopup.CIMPopupInfo() # Create table media info with specified fields table_media = arcpy.cim.CIMPopup.CIMTableMediaInfo() table_media.fields = desired_fields # Set up the popup configuration popup.mediaInfos = [table_media] popup.useQuotes = False popup.separator = ", " # Set the popup info on the layer layer_cim.popupInfo = popup # Apply the changes target_layer.setDefinition(layer_cim) print("Popup configuration updated successfully") except Exception as e: print(f"Error configuring popup: {str(e)}") if __name__ == "__main__": project_path = r"Path_to_Prject\Operation_Map.aprx" map_name = "System Design Map _ Python" layer_name = "Medium Voltage Fuse" #Fields you might want to show in the popup desired_fields = [ "assetid", "model", "manufacturer", "installdate" ] configure_popup_fields(project_path, map_name, layer_name, desired_fields)

Hi @Billy,

You are using ArcGIS Pro 3.4.2 so the version for the getDefinition should be "V3" not "V2" which is for the Pro 2.X.X series.

Make sure to save your APRX using the script, add the following at the end of your function.

aprx.save()

Run the Notebook in a Project that is not the one you want to update and see if it works when you re-open the Project of interest.
