Environment:
- ArcGIS Pro 3.7
- Utility Network published as a branch versioned feature service (ArcGIS Enterprise portal)
- Editing in a named branch version through the feature service
Issue: While entering attribute values directly in the attribute table, the table refreshes itself after every single cell edit. The scroll position jumps back to the top, rows briefly disappear and reload, and the table loses its position. This makes bulk manual data entry extremely slow — after each value we have to scroll back down to find the row we were working on. It gets worse when we start editing values across different rows.
What we've already tried:
- Unchecked Project > Options > Table > "Refresh the table when changes are made" and restarted Pro — no change
- Added the TableWindowDisableAutoRefresh registry key (from KB 000034306) — no effect (appears to be 2.9.x only)
- Removed all sorting from the table
- The behavior persists
Workarounds we're using for now:
- Switching to Show selected records view to keep position
- Entering values through the Attributes pane instead of the table
- Field Calculator for bulk values
These help, but they don't fix the underlying behavior: every cell edit triggers an applyEdits call and a full table re-query, which resets the view.
Questions:
- Is there any setting in Pro 3.7 that prevents the attribute table from fully re-querying/resetting after each edit on a (branch versioned) feature service?
- Is this logged as a known bug/limitation for feature service editing? If so, which BUG number should we attach to?
- Are there any planned improvements to scroll/position "stickiness" of the table during feature service edit sessions?
Any guidance would be appreciated — this significantly impacts our data entry productivity on the Utility Network.
