How do you display Choice List values with spaces in ArcMap?

DougBrowning · ‎09-28-2016

So on a Choice list you can not have spaces (which is a bummer really). Spaces go in the label. But I thought the label did get saved into coded values so that you could use the spaces version later on. I swear I had this working before but I can not get the formatted with spaces version to show in ArcMap at all. I want it to show on a layout page.

How can I do this?

Thanks

I am fine with all those entries. Because what is my alternative - Never have spaces in a pick list ever? That would be weird.

Is the no spaces thing a XLS rule? Seems strange to have to worry about spaces in 2016. This may seem small but it makes the form look terrible and may kill our project.

What version of ArcMap are you using? The toolbox was made with 10.4. I just downloaded the repo from GitHub and can see the tool. You can also recreate the tool from the Python Script, AFAIK, it requires 10.3 as a minimum from the GP tools it uses.

Yep that was it I was in 10.2.2.

What does Destination Workspace and Destination Prefix want? There is no help on the field and Workspace will not take a FC inside a .sde connection. Does it mean Workspace is the root .sde and Prefix is the FC?

Thanks

Destination Workspace - the workspace where the tables will be imported to; if an enterprise geodatabase it's the .sde file

Destination Prefix - to try to ensure uniqueness in names (not running over anything already in the database since the script creates the tables in the destination workspace), I'm requiring a prefix text that will be put before the names of the tables; i.e. if your Survey has a table named 'VehicleReport', and you use the prefix 'FDsurvey', the name in the destination workspace will be 'FDsurvey_VehicleReport'.

Getting an error. It makes nothing in the sde DB.

Thanks

I'm not sure why you're not getting the resultUrl in the intermediate requests- it has always shown up in the job info I see. I've updated the github repo to test for that property before assignment and also display the export sync messages to see if that provides more info.

I get a better error now. I can send you all the inputs but I do not want to post it. Can i send it privately?

Yes, please e-mail me to continue the discussion.
