@KoryKramer many thanks for (a) implementing all of these changes, and (b) taking the time to make this excellent video outlining them all.

I'm super happy that my idea Symbology - changing the Value should NOT update the Label made the cut 😉

An oldie but a goodie @Stephen_Lead ?!! Glad we were able to make that improvement, too.

Kory, I agree with Stephen on thanking you for taking the time to put the video together.  I constantly try to tell users in my organization to submit their Ideas, that it can make a difference.  This video will help me promote that argument internally.

ESRI, 

Thanks for implementing the many improvements, which no doubt will be used immediately by developers/users. I'm pleased with seeing that a Polyline can now reverse its direction in arcpy, that will be very useful in all things to do with rivers. Also liking the ability to post a message in a model, that will very helpful!

Now you just have to make ArcPro free... 😁 OK that's a request too far!
