How to Symbolize layer by Multiple Fields

In ArcGIS Pro 3.1, I would like to have my layer symbolized by 2 fields.

  • Type = shape
  • Status = color

For example,

  • type 1, status okay = green circle
  • type 1, status bad = red circle
  • type 2, status okay = green square
  • type 2, status bad = red square
  • ... so on so forth

This is just an example value; I have many than just two types and two status options. The trouble is, if I do Unique Values and add multiple fields in, then the legend is very messy. I have many types and status values, so then there are over 20+ legend entries for each combination.

I tried using the Allow symbol property connections option, but then that creates a color ramp which is not what I'm looking for; I want discrete colors.

Another possible option to put the layer in the map twice and symbolize one with a no fill shape and one for color, layered on top of each other, ensuring the color layer is a smaller circle that fits inside the shape. But that's not exactly ideal since; I'd rather the whole shape is colored instead of dot in the middle.

Is there a way to accomplish this?
