Center Labels on Point for Proportional Symbols of Polygon Layer

[KeithWitt]

Is it possible to place labels "Centered on point" for proportional point symbols that are created from a polygon layer in ArcGIS Pro Basic 3.5 like you can for a point layer?

As "centered point" is a point label placement default, one workflow that may work is the following:

1.  Use the Feature to Point GP tool, with the Inside parameter checked,  to create a feature class of the polygon centroid as a point.
2. For the newly created feature class, set the symbol as "no color" for the fill and outline - meaning the point symbol is not visible but the layer is turned on.
3.  Label the point layer using the "Centered Point" label placement as desired and the topmost layer in the Contents Pane.
4. For the polygon layer, use the Proportional Symbol option based upon the attribute desired. 

I tested this with some demo data and it seems to work.

Thank you for the reply! Yes, that is pretty much my exact work-around except I'm using a centroid point layer to handle both the proportional symbols and the labels. I can join the points to the polygon layer as needed for updates. I'll add this issue to ArcGIS Pro ideas.
