Love this idea. Such a time saver.
Something needs to be done to the legend ability
This would be such a timesaver - sometimes I spend as much time trying to create a decent legend as making the actual map. I would like to see the ability to use text that isn't the layer name - similar to how in Symbology you can give each item a label that is different to the attributes it is drawn from. My organsiation's data is named in a standardised way, which is great for identifying the dataset you need, but the name is often 'unappealing' in a legend, or needs modification to suit a particular use-case of a map. Currently, I can change the name of the layer in the TOC, but I don't really want to have to do this - I want to see the original names in the TOC, but be able to use a modified label for the legend.
We all want this feature
This idea is 7 years old...somehow I don't think it's going to happen.
I've only been TAing for Intro GIS classes for a short while but one of the most common frustrations with the software I see students experiencing is the ordeal behind making a nice legend. This would alleviate many of those frustrations. Make the software easy for new users and more efficient for seasoned ones.
I just realized that myself. I'm saddened by that.
Are you looking for this functionality in ArcMap or Pro?
