@swiss_parks_network_nbernhard Hi The export dialog will only be used for exporting the selection set produced by the tool, not "all data".  ... View more

An Export Selection button is added to the Select By Attributes and Select By Location dialogs in the Pro 3.6 Beta. This button enables after using the Apply button to perform the selection. Clicking Export Selection opens a content browser window to define the location where the selected records should be written to a new feature class/table.   ... View more

We cannot change default behaviors of geoprocessing tools and parameters from release to release. A script that didn't explicitly define the output path would create an xls in previous releases, and while many people might prefer the modern xlsx format, we can't change the default output since someone might be counting on continuing to output xls. Cross release compatibility for every tool and parameter is critical to maintain. ... View more

Geoprocessing environments provide an output coordinate system that many geoprocessing tools will honor and use as default.  You can also specify tool parameter overrides if there is a specific coordinate system you want to be the default every time you open Project or other tools. https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-pro/analytics/tool-parameter-overrides-in-arcgis-pro-3-3 ...

Notification sounds are available in ArcGIS Pro 3.5. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/get-started/user-interface-options.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_6FAA3128F0664D92817715A462FF30AE ... View more

@wayfaringrob an easter egg for an Honored Contributor: you can hold down right-shift keyboard key when clicking to open a tool, and it will open the floating tool dialog box. Running the tool in this mode also uses the foreground thread execution with blocking progress dialog, similar to ArcMap.  @SH_DH we received more feedback than the 2 kudos above that it was desired for the back button to return to the previous active pane used to open the tool. But based on your feedback we may need an option for the user to choose which behavior they prefer. Since this is the implemented idea related to navigating back to the previous non-Geoprocessing pane, it would be good for you to make a new ArcGIS Pro Idea about this option to change the behavior.  Also consider this: the Geoprocessing pane has a Recent section at the bottom with access to previously run tools, and the little menu will help you see the messages and reopen tools with parameter populated that were used previously. Internally I call this the Geoprocessing pane mini-history.    Also, rather than switching to the Catalog pane to access project toolboxes/tools, the same toolboxes are available in the Toolboxes tab of the Geoprocessing pane.    The Geoprocessing pane Recent (mini-history) and project Toolboxes were both added to keep you from needing to pane-switch as much, which would both help in the case you use the Back button since it would stay in the Geoprocessing pane.     ...

Closing the issue as it will not be implemented as described in the title.  A different idea could be logged with the Geodatabase label for Pro's text file workspace to support a specific column header row.  ... View more

There is no mechanism to disallow 1:m joined data. This enhancement idea is being considered to dynamically assign unique ObjectIDs when performing a 1:m join, so the result can be used as input to more/most geoprocessing tools.  https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/add-join-pseudo-objectid-row-number-as-unique-id/idi-p/1494563 ...

Oh and one more follow up - if you re-add the output dataset from Catalog/Add Data back to the map, you get the default/normal single symbol right? ... View more

@RTPL_AU are you running a custom or system tool that produces the messed up symbology? This looks like a BUG that we would want to resolve. When a tool operation is something like a copy (might not be an exact copy, but some modification like a Clip, but the geometry type and fields from the input are the same), the geoprocessing framework determines if the input used is a layer, and in an effort to make the new output look similar to the input layer, the input layer properties including symbology, charts, popup definitions, and more, are applied to the new output. In general this was what a lot of users were expecting and made them more productive because they didn't have to re-set the layer properties with a post process themselves. But it's clear from your example case that it is not working as expected, which should be logged as a software defect.  We can leave the Idea open as it's still a valid idea, though for your case we obviously don't want it to be messing up the grouped labels, etc.  ...

Use the Join one To first join operation of Add Join for a case insensitive join. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/data-management/add-join.htm#:~:text=One%2Dto%2Dfirst%20joins%20are%20not%20case%20sensitive%3B%20one%2Dto%2Dmany%20joins%20are%20case%20sensitive. ... View more
