I've just upgraded to ArcGIS Pro 2.9.2 from 2.3.X. I'm trying to overwrite a web feature layer as I've done several times before, but I'm getting a new error. For the RPP Areas Layer, I get the error message "Field_Shape_Length cannot be used as a display field." The problem is, I'm not using that field for the label feature or symbology. I'm labeling on the "Area" field, which is a text field, using single symbology, and I'm not varying the symbology by any attribute. I've even tried changing the name of the "Area" field to "Zone". Any ideas?

Open the properties of that layer and select the Display section. That's where you set the Display field.
