Title says it all!  In Desktop there was a select all option in drop down.  Not seeing that in Pro?  Seems peculiar...anybody have workarounds not involving sql queries?  Thanks!  Zach

Interesting.  I started up with my company a year ago and our licenses are sprawled out everywhere - I'm sure half are checked out but not used or barely used.  Something I want to clean up.  I'm branching off topic here, so I'll save a Question your response piqued for a later post - preview: floating licenses between occasional users.  That would be nice...Thanks Josh!

Hi, @jcarlson ! I am having a similar problem, but in my case I just need to select a column from the attributes table so that I can access the properties of just that column and edit for example the thousand separator, as shown in the arcmap image. thanks in advance

2) highlight attribute for formatting change on left

3) open numeric properties

Click number format elipsis (...)Click number format elipsis (...)

curious as to why you need to select all.  All geoprocessing tools and processes work with all features unless there is a selection, so selecting all is the same as no selection.

Hey Dan.  Now that you mention it - perhaps unnecessary?  Using Calculate Field and just a habit when I actually make a selection (not ALL).

It is not needed... All tools honor selections and if none are selected all are used... try it

To select all features in ArcPro, and thus all rows of the attribute table, right-click on the layer in the Contents Pane, then under Selection you will find Select All.
