Spatial Join Tool in ArcPro 3.0.1 doesn't have join operation option.

Hi all!

I just installed the ArcGISPro patch (3.0.1) and went to do a spatial join. I noticed that the option for selecting a join operation (one to one, one to many, etc.) was not available. Have others noticed this too? I am not sure if this is a glitch or if I am just missing something obvious.

Thanks all! Any assistance would be appreciated.

Update on this! I noticed that if you access the spatial join tool through the ribbon or by right clicking the dataset, you don't have access to one-to-many joins. However, if you search for the spatial join tool in the geoprocessing tools and open it there, you do have access. It appears that the spatial join tools available on the ribbon and by right clicking the dataset are actually the "add spatial join tool" which is a separate thing that was released recently. This tool only supports one-one joins.

Thanks all!

Arctoolbox tools are the go-to. Shortcuts sometimes come up short.
