This idea is in planning with our development team, to add to ArcGIS Pro's KML To Layer tool in the near term. When a geodatabase is provided which already exists, the current pattern is to overwrite the geodatabase. In the near term we will have parameters so that the user can choose to not overwrite the geodatabase but rather give a new feature dataset name and feature class prefix and those contents will be created inside the existing geodatabase.

@Bud for scenarios which are updated existing, I suggest to use Add Join with the option to only keep matching records, then Calculate Field to calculate the target fields to get the values from the join fields (whichever fields you want). This is done internally as a sort of pre-process within the upsert option of Append, so the same strategy will work well. If there are duplicates in FC-B it will make a 1:m join.

@Bud We had the Upsert development project in our backlog for awhile and were gathering requirements and researching how the capability could be applied to the Append tool. Seeing your Idea about a year ago, we thought it could be satisfied by the Append tool enhancement. So yes, this Idea pushed us in the direction of doing the Upsert development work in 3.1. There are always many factors at play when it comes to prioritizing our development work, and Ideas are a critical way we can work on and deliver capabilities requested by the user community. So keep up your Ideas and I'm sure more will be implemented in future releases.

@BrianKreb please update to the ArcGIS Pro 3.0.4 patch which has been available for a few weeks to see the issue resolved. https://support.esri.com/en/bugs/nimbus/QlVHLTAwMDE1Mjc4Ng==

This might be a known issue already logged to Esri Support, BUG-000154896. "In ArcGIS Pro 3.0.3, right-clicking a layer created in ArcGIS Pro 2.8 in the Contents pane to export features does not include all of the fields in the attribute table." I can determine if it's the same problem, by looking at the layer file, which you can generate by right-clicking the layer, select Sharing>Save As Layer File and email the result to [email protected]. The layer file doesn't contain any sensitive data, only the layer property definitions. You can also try searching for "Copy Rows" in the geoprocessing pane and use that simplified tool to export the output .csv. The problem above relates to the Field Map parameter of the export tools.

@VinceE I suggest to add a similar discussion to the ArcGIS Ideas site, where others can comment and this idea of enforcing contingent values in Calculate Field can continue to gather other user support. As a community question, this post has a lifespan and won't be tracked as a development request or priority. https://community.esri.com/t5/community-help-documents/arcgis-ideas-submission-guidelines-and-statuses/ta-p/904874

I've confirmed what @ChrisRingo describes above. When using a value table with feature layer and field pairs, the field column automatically receives a dependency on the feature layer column. When using a value table with raster layer and field pairs, this dependency is not achieved and does not appear like it can be forced. This is a defect that we will correct in a future release. There is not a workaround possible that I'm aware of at this time.

@CeciliaMartinelli and all, just to let you know, the issue has been resolved in ArcGIS Pro 3.1, which will be publicly available coming soon. And the fix is being backported to an ArcGIS Pro 3.0.x patch, which will probably be available around the same time (within a few weeks). For Tech Support tracking, it is issue BUG-000152786

The Append tool will do this in Pro 3.1 using addition Update parameters.

The workflow described can be accomplished starting in Pro 3.1, but not using the Calculate Field tool. The Append tool has a new geometry update mode and parameters to configure how the update should be made. This was covered in this newer Idea: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/gp-tool-to-batch-replace-geometries-from-one-fc-to/idi-p/1139522

An informational tip will be added below the Join Table parameter in a future release, to indicate that the specified layer/table has a definition query which will be moved to the input layer when performing the join. This is such a special case and behavior we agree the information should be presented directly to the user, not behind a small warning icon or solely in the tool documentation. An editable definition query control will not be placed on the tool dialog, that is outside what we can do at this time.

We can reproduce the issue with domain descriptions not being carried over to the output KML. This issue will be resolved in the near term. Note, we will make the Layer To KML tool honor the choice in the Transfer Domain Descriptions environment https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/environment-settings/transfer-domain-descriptions.htm . So you will need to apply that setting to get the description values in the output KML.
