There are no appropriate templates

[CraigHartel]

I am using Pro 2.3.2. I am trying to copy line geometry from one feature class into a new, empty feature class. I successfully select the geometry I wish to copy and when I attempt to copy it into the new feature class, I get the error message that "There are no appropriate templates".

In the Manage Templates pane, there is very definitely a template for the destination feature class. I've even tried deleting and re-creating the template but this does not work.

Always, always "There are no appropriate templates".

I have resorted to working back in 10.6 in order to not be so frustrated by something so simple that won't work. I've referenced thread after thread I've found online about this - I've followed YouTube videos on how to do this everything I can think of and still "There are no appropriate templates".

At this point I see no reason to continue using Pro nor even bothering to transition to fully working in the platform.

Hi @AndrewWillingale My original responses were in regards to bugs that were fixed in version 2.x and involved copy/pasting in the same project and same map.

My advice for you is to try your workflow in the same map. To do this, you can copy the layer from project B into the contents of project A - and then try copy/pasting features from/to the layers in the project A. It should result in the outcome you desire: specific features from a feature class in GDB B copied into a feature class in GDB A. This method should be more reliable, and gives you more control, since there is a field mapping control that exists for layers in the same map: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/configure-field-mapping.htm

If there is a bug with copy/pasting between projects, it's best to create a case with Esri Technical Support: https://support.esri.com/en-us/contact
