calculate field add string multiple fields

[JaredPilbeam2]

I used to be able to use Python and auto-fill fields by putting the string in quotes. For some reason it hasn't been working lately. I'm using Pro v. 2.7.2. The expression verifies and the there are no errors, but the (text) fields are not populated with the string? The field length is set at 300, more than enough.

Did you try anything other than a an http?

like

"a"*10    or  "a"*100  or  "a"*300

Also,  shut down, restart works for many problems too

@DanPatterson 

I restarted (not because of this but a Windows sign-in issue) and now the field calculator is working. I wish I can say what the root of the problem was? All that I can say is that this hosted feature layer is not open in any browser, just Pro where I'm editing it.

As I said....

So what was in the accepted solution that worked?

[JaredPilbeam2]

I could've accepted any of the replies since I don't really know what was causing the problem? But, I went with that one because I assumed it has something to do with that service being open in a browser that I had open at the time? Yes, it could have just needed a reset too.
