Hi ArcGIS Pro Team, 

We're currently using Pro 2.7 for multiscale mapping, and we're looking for a way to alter symbology (color or texture) for a Single Symbol symbology type. This functionality is available for Unique Symbols (see image below), but is not available for Single Symbol types. 

This is a much needed functionality for controlling the appearance of a layer at different scale levels (such as color, transparency, thickness, etc.).

Please note: we do not want to add the layer multiple times to the map to symbolize as this taxes the end client and isn't best practice for caching. 

Thanks!

-Amanda

While I think that this needs to be implemented, if you needed the functionality right now, you can always set symbology to "Unique Values", but leave "Other values" as the only symbol in the list.

Yes! This is definitely needed!   "Scale-based sizing" is excellent, but more cartographic options than just resizing a line or outline for symbology at each scale would be beneficial.
