What version of Pro, and what format is the data in (SDE, FGDB, what version), and what is the field type (text, float)? I cannot repro your first issue in any environment, a screen recording of your workflow might help.  On that column resizing thing, totally sympathetic. For folks that spend a lot of time in the Attribute Table, this is one of the most frustrating Pro bugs.  Kory Kramer‌, despite deliberately doing lots of things wrong, I am able to repro the "calc field save disabled" error the OP is experiencing in 2.2., FGDB, all field types. However, on a simulated "crash", upon recovery of the project, the calculated values persist, so I'm wondering if field calculator "edits" are not really edits, and are committed instantly, which raises another problem: there is no way to back out of a mis-calculated field operation.  ...

I like your script better, but in a pinch, this will work (Pro):  import sys, string, os, arcpy, calendar, datetime, traceback,smtplib import arcpy from arcpy import env from arcgis.gis import GIS from subprocess import call # Set the name of the feature service.

What happens when:  You publish to the hosting server; or When you set up the join, etc..in Arc Map, import the Map into Pro, and then publish.  ... View more

You'll have to provide many, many more details about your specific environment. What version of ArcGIS Server? Is the data a FGDB and stored in the hosting server when you publish? Is it coming from SDE? What version? What brand and version of SQL if SDE? What version of windows is the server running on? How exactly is the join created? For the result, are the missing layers symbolized with a join field? Probably still won't get your question answered on Geonet, but Tech Support will ask the same exact questions when you call them. ... View more

well....sort of "Dev". It's a server that supports a workgroup that spends most of the summer elsewhere.....they'll never know! ... View more

Yes, I foolishly uninstalled the 10.5.1 WA and attempted to install the 10.6.1 WA without checking to see if IIS would restart, something I know to check. Installing https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4338831/july172018kb4338831osbuildpreviewofmonthlyrollup  allowed me to proceed with the install. This was on production, not development. I'm so used to ArcGIS server upgrade working flawlessly...but there is a complicated arrangement of Portals and Wed Adaptors on our dev so.....take away my parking spot! ... View more

Weird. Cleared cache and it reloaded. Probably because you're using Spyder as the default editor. Our position is to deploy the software as advertised, then users can customize at will. But few, if any, are going to be using Spyder.  ... View more

I wouldn't characterize it as "reluctant"...We JUST got the install script to the point where Pro auto deployment will complete an install without requiring a call to TS. Once we start adding "Power Python" to the mix, where most folks, the most they'll ever do in Py is change a variable or use it to clip 100 rasters with the same polygon, IMHO, for software that is 4 years old ....paraphrasing another disgruntled Pro customer "I didn't break it so I'm not going to fix it". Corporate GIS deployments are pretty locked down, with months of "approvals" just about what folder it's going to get installed in. They do not want to hear that someone has to administratively log into 3000 computers and further tweak python to get it to work.  ... View more

This might shed some light: So I imported your schema XML with data into a new FGDB, and got this when compressing it:  So I eat my words, it may BE a data issue after all. Still, I'd love to know what it is...... ... View more
