Is there any way to copy data from one field and paste it to another? Or, how can i pull this data out, edit in bulk (like in excel) and re-upload?
Also, ss there any way to quickly combine two fields in an attribute table into one without using join/relate? For example, if I have two text based values how can I add them?
You can copy/paste the data from Excel to the attribute table directly. Just be sure about how your data has been sorted. Consecutive rows and columns can also be pasted-in. I believe new rows are created if the paste count exceeds the current number of rows.
For combining 2 column values you can use Calculate Field (right-click on the column heading in the attribute table and Calculate Field button or GP tool https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/data-management/calculate-field.htm). You then build a simple expression using Arcade or Python e.g. in Python to add 2 string fields with a space between:
!FieldName1! + " " + !FieldName2!
I generally avoid doing this on a field that currently contains data unless I'm absolutely sure of the expression. Generally I find it best to create a new field and calculate the values into that. I understand that edits can be undone but mistakes happen.
