Hi,
Has anyone else encountered this issue?:
in ArcGis 3.5 desktop
*current solution in close ArcGis Pro all the way and re-open then edit is allowed
Please let me know what you think this might be...
Solved! Go to Solution.
In the screenshot you shared, although it looks like the Map item is selected, the actual active selection within the contents pane is the Maps container. As a result, the Edit button does not launch the editor.
Please refer to the attached image, which highlights the difference between selecting the Maps container versus the individual Map item.
Thanks for submitting the user question. To help us reproduce and narrow down the cause of the issue, could you please provide a few more details?
These would be helpful:
1: feature classes, map, and layout
2: catalog view
3: no
4: Edit in Metadata group, catalog tab
5: see attached.
state is after
1)opening highlighted map with edit, editing metadata, save and close,
2) open layout with edit, edit metadata, save and close,
3)re-open map from step 1...
Thanks for sharing the details and the screengrab. It looks like even though the map is selected in the catalog view, the Edit button is trying to open the metadata editor for the Maps container that’s also selected in the contents pane. We’re aware of this behavior and it’s something we’re looking into addressing. In the meantime, a workaround is to reselect the map in the catalog view before clicking the Edit button.
