Geometry Transfer in ArcGIS Pro

I am using ArcGIS Pro V2.6 

On the old ArcMap "Spatial Adjustment" toolbar, we had the option in the transfer attributes process, to tick a box "Transfer geometry".

This permitted a transfer of geometry only, NOT the attributes.

Does anyone know if Pro has carried this over?  I cannot find an equivalent tick box on Pro's adjustment tool (see screenshot below). The "Replace Geometry" tool requires you to draw the new shape (not simply select a feature for the existing geometry to be transferred to).

Any help much appreciated!

I have not found a solution for this yet, when I was testing I also was using the utility network and still couldn't figure it out.  Maybe have to put in a request with ESRI since no one has replied even though they appear to be on this string?

Hi - I was able to solve this for polygon to polygon; I've never had to deal with a trace network.  Hopefully someone from ESRI can diagnose.  Sorry not to be of help.

No, I never figured it out.  I'm just using ArcMap to edit my utilities.  I am just seeing what I can/can't do before moving to UN or Trace Network.

I also followed this exactly and it doesn't work.  Pro 3.03

Hi @KeithAddison1 

Are both of your datasets in file geodatabases? One issue I’ve found is if you’re transferring geometries containing arcs, they’re not retained in the target feature. They’re just straight line arcs like we see in shapefiles. I’ve been going back to ArcMap as it’s easier, quicker and retains the arc geometries.

Yes.  But there's no problems with arcs because it just doesn't work at all, I do this and it does nothing.  I've found the transfer attributes tool a complete waste of time for geometry transfers.  I've tried to use it to transfer geometry multiple times through the years and it has never worked.
