errors 001156 & 000595 when using Calculate field Tool

[KareemAssaf]

Hello,

I upgraded ArcGIS Pro to version 3.5.2; I started facing this problem:

When I'm using the calculate field tool in attribute table, those 2 errors (errors 001156 & 000595) are popping up. knowing that the 2 fields have the same data type and length. Moreover, it's not related to these specific Object Ids in the attached photo, it's giving me this error to all records.

@Robert_LeClair Weird. So I did a clean install of 3.5.0, ran it again and still got the same error. Then I created a new polygon feature class within the same file geodatabase, did a mockup similar to yours, and got the same error again. I'm working with "Indoors" data which has a bunch of validation rules and such, so to rule that out, I created an entirely new file geodatabase, made another dummy layer, ran the same calculation and I still get that error. I suppose I could try going back to 3.4 to test...

@AaronKoelker - definitely weird.  So for the NAME field you created, how long is the field?  The default 255 or another length?  I used the default 255 and it worked as you saw.  In studying other cases, the user created a model in ModelBuilder and it worked fine.

One thing I saw with your project vs mine is your's is saved in your user profile folder system while mine is C:\Temp\<project_folder> - not sure if that's an issue...

@Robert_LeClair Just the default 255 on the Text field. And the project is running out of C:\Users\UserName\Documents\ArcGIS\Projects, which I thought was a pretty standard default location for ArcGIS Pro projects. I've used that forever.

That said, I found a workaround, and perhaps the root of the issue. I typically have my ArcGIS Pro set up to require enabling/disabling an editing session before edits can be made, which includes the Calculate Field function. If I disable that option in the settings, Calculate Field then works as expected. Curious if you were to turn that option on, do you get the same error I was seeing?

Still seems like there might be an issue here, and I'd like to keep that option enabled to protect from unintentional edits, but at least I have a workaround in the meantime

@AaronKoelker - thank you for your respone.  So good to hear that standard, 255 text field.  That's not the issue.  Factory settings for the creation of new projects is C:\Users\UserName\Documents\ArcGIS\Projects as set in the Project tab->Options->General tab I believe.  In my Pro classes, I jokingly say this is where projects go to die as for many users it's difficult to "find" this location.  You can certainly create/save projects at this location but I'm old school and prefer a more specific directory/folder system for my projects.  If you've been doing this forever, go for it.

Interesting about the start/stop editing option.  I hadn't thought of this as I don't use this workflow.  It's an ArcMap equivalency item.  I changed my ArcGIS Pro to have this checked on and the Calculate Field GP tool failed as expected but with the dreaded 999999 error code.  At least you have a workaround now!
