@SavageTrimble I really apologize for the disconnect here.  Our two worlds are not lining up.  I do little with UN data.  The Esri UN data I have and use to test does NOT have fire hydrants.  I'm assuming it is a point layer.  I'm using a unique value, point feature layer called 'Pole' in place of fire hydrant.  When I run your script using my layer, I get opposite results.   If possible, could you send me a very small sample of your data to jbarrette@esri.com.  This way I can hopefully see what you are seeing.  Jeff - arcpy.mp team ...

@SavageTrimble is it possible that "items" in the arcpy API is called "classes" in the CIM.  We are not 100% consistent, but we tend to try and match what you see in the UI.  In this case, the CIM is different and I don't recall the CIM lineage. If you change: active_items = getattr(uv_renderer.groups[0], 'items', []) to active_items = getattr(uv_renderer.groups[0], 'classes', []) Are you getting what you expect? Jeff - arcpy.mp team ...

@SavageTrimble We need more information to fully understand the issue.  One option would be to work with Esri Support where they can help set up a reproducible case we can look at.  Another option, yet less direct, is trying to describe your schema in more detail and provide a script that is attempting to modify the renderer? Some questions: How is the script running?  Is it stand-alone, or run from script tool in the application?  Does the script modify the underlying data just prior to trying to change the renderer (in the same script)? Have you tried arcpy.RefreshLayer()? Would it be helpful if you had an additional isSubtypeGroupLayer Layer property?   Thanks, Jeff - arcpy.mp team   ... View more

@RoshanPalikhe1 , have you tried using Layer.pasteProperties?  It was made available with Pro 3.4. Layer—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation The following example will reference the symbology properties of a source layer in a layer file (see Note below) and apply those properties to the layer of interest.  You can paste all layer properties or choose specific layer properties to paste.  With the arcpy.mp method, you can provide a list of different properties in case you don't want all but want multiple properties. In the example below two properties are being pasted.  It works similarly to the UI context options and includes the same limits (e.g., geometries must match). p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('current') m = p.listMaps('Yosemite National Park')[0] lyr = m.listLayers('Campgrounds')[0] lyrFile = arcpy.mp.LayerFile(r"C:\Projects\ProjectData\LYRXs\Campgrounds.lyrx") sourceLyr = lyrFile.listLayers('Campgrounds')[0] lyr.pasteProperties(sourceLyr, ['SYMBOLOGY', 'VISIBILITY_RANGE'])   NOTE:  the source layer is not limited to coming from a layer file, it can be a layer in a map in the same project, or different projects, etc.    Jeff - arcpy.mp team ...

This is a very old ArcMap idea that is being closed because these capabilities will not be added to ArcMap and were added at ArcGIS Pro 3.4. ArcGISProject—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation Has: createGraphicElement(), createGroupElement, createLayout, createPictureElement, createPredefinedGraphicElements, and createTextElements. Layout—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation Has: createMapFrame(), createMapSurroundElement(), createTableFrameElement()   Jeff - arcpy.mp Team ... View more

Closing this ArcMap issue.  There is a solution in ArcGIS Pro. We made great improvements in Pro concerning definition queries (DQs).  Pro layers now support multiple DQs and our API allows you to not only change a DQ (like ArcMap could), but also add multiple DQs and set the active DQ.  Much of this is mentioned in the help via the following Layer members Layer.definitionQuery  - in ArcMap and Pro Layer.listDefinitionQueries ({wildcard})  - new in Pro Layer.updateDefinitionQueries (definitionQueries) - new in Pro Layer—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation NOTE - Pro does NOT have an UpdateLayer.  Our model has changed quite a bit.  There is a similar, but different method in Pro: Layer.pasteProperties (which has an option to paste all properties or limited collections, including DQs).  The list of options is in the Layer help link above. I hope this helps, Jeff ... View more

@Pukawai The original author of this idea was happy with the solution so we marked it accordingly.  We also have ArcGISProject.closeViews() so you can close your views, then open the specific view using openView(). OpenView will automatically activate the view.   We have NO way of referencing existing views because individual instances are not uniquely named.  Closing views and (re)opening ensures you get the active view you want. At 3.7 we enhanced closeViews() to include a wildcard parameter so rather than closing all map views, for example, you can close views that only reference a specific map.  See: arcpy.mp Map and Layout isOpen - Esri Community The major focus of arcpy.mp is for ArcGIS Project automation, not application development.  There are many scenarios where the .Net SDK is a better solution for application development.  I hope this helps, Jeff - arcpy.mp team ...

This is a very old idea and is available in both ArcMap and Pro.  ArcMap and Pro, the older style ExportToXXX methods have a property called {clip_to_elements} For example, the Layout class: Layout—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation In Pro we have a newer style export format objects, and a similar property called clipToElements is available to the export format when exporting a layout.

This should have been closed, at least for those that are using ArcGIS Pro. The arcpy.mp API offers a number of ways of creating and managing labelClasses.
