Don't navigate away from FC after making a change in Catalog

If I make a change to a feature class's properties in Catalog, such as renaming it or registering it as versioned, then Catalog refreshes the list of FCs in the connection, and navigates away from the  FC (to the top of the list).

That's fairly aggravating. We have to scroll through the list of hundreds of objects in the EGDB to find the FC to resume what we were doing. If the operation takes a couple of minutes, we might even forget what we were doing by the time it refreshes. Or when we go to navigate back to the object, we might accidently go to the wrong object. Little things like that could be avoided if Catalog didn't navigate away from the object in the first place.

I understand why it would need to refresh after a change. But it would be better if Catalog could scroll back to the FC and re-select it. Or just refresh the affected object(s), instead of the entire list, avoiding the need to navigate away from the object.

Could Catalog be enhanced so that it doesn't navigate away from an object after a change is made?

Hello @Bud,

Thanks for your feedback. Are you still experiencing this problem? If so which version of ArcGIS Pro are you using? I do not see this problem in ArcGIS Pro 3.1 - after I rename an item in an enterprise geodatabase, there was no scrolling and the renamed item stay in place in the content list, and stays selected, still in view. If I am not understanding your description of the behavior correctly, could you please elaborate your workflow? Screenshots would help too.

Thank you.

Hello @Bud ,

We are closing this idea, but will reevaluate it if we receive further clarification (see my comment in October 2023).

Thank you again for your feedback.
