Forcing label items to remain on the same line

[deleted-user-hwcOLD4Ux5CR]

Hi all,

I'm new to working with label expressions in ArcGIS Pro and I was hoping for some help. The expression I'm working with is as follows (VBScript):

[full_name] + " (Z:" & [zone] & " R:" & [rank_id] &")"

I realize my syntax and labeling structure is messy, but it's been getting the job done. The label is displaying a client name followed by their zone and rank numbers in parenthesis. Example: ExampleName (Z:1 R:10) The problem I'm having occurs when a longer client name forces what I have in parenthesis on to two different lines when I have label stacking enabled.

Is there a way to ensure that my information inside the parenthesis always stays together on the same line?

Any help is appreciated!

Hi @Anonymous User,

Looks like this is a bug in ArcGIS Pro. There's no reason that you should need the stacking property enabled for your stacking expression to work correctly. I have logged this as an issue for us to investigate. It seems to be linked to the 'Secondary offset' property, if you could find a way not to use that in your map that may be a viable workaround. 

I'm very sorry Maplex isn't performing as you would hope. Please get in touch if you have any more questions.

Hi. I am experiencing this same issue (as Andrea had) now, using Pro 3.0.2. Any light on when this bug will be fixed?

Hi, 

This issue will be fixed in the upcoming release ArcGIS Pro 3.1

Sorry that Maplex is performing as you would hope.

Interesting! I'm going to loop in @SamuelTroth2 to get his thoughts as I've actually moved to working on a different area since this post so am not up to speed on recent changes to the label engine. Hopefully he'll be able to get to the bottom of the issue!
