Is there a way to auto populate Lat / Long coordinates in decimal degrees in ArcGIS Pro?  We have deployed ESRI's Address Data Management solution and use that to assign and maintain our address points and road centerlines.  In the attribute rules, I have added one to try and populate the coordinates but it will not auto populate in the decimal degree format.  The map project shows the decimal degree is set to default, the map itself uses the format when working on the map, it will let me manually get the decimal degree format, but it will not go to that format automatically.  I have attached some pictures of what is going on.

Sorry, I'm at a loss...  "SITEADDRESSPOINT" shows that you can calculate the x,y data fields to Decimal Degrees. I'm not sure what you mean, "auto-populate Lat / Long coordinates in decimal degrees."

hi Cameron,

can you share these details with your board? GPS metadata such as Lat/Long is baked in as double
