I'm unable to reproduce this myself (using 10.8.1). Maplex respect the "Minimum feature size for labeling" and other label density settings. If removing duplicates is the desired result, I'd recommend using that option if the "Connect features" option with "minimize labels" doesn't work for the streets you have. ... View more

Thank you Amanda, We've reproduced this locally and logged an issue for it: BUG-000142306. Craig ... View more

You also don't need to convert labels to annotation to benefit from the reference scale. You can just set one in the map itself. ... View more

You can put the values into an array and then use the Distinct function for this. This will work with numbers or text in an array, for example:   Distinct(["1", "2", "2", "2", "3", "3", "4"])   or   Distinct([1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4])   The Split function can help you construct an Array if you don't have one already. ...

We had smooth and simplify effects in ArcMap geometric effects with Representations. We didn't bring these forward in ArcGIS Pro because they were not used often due to problematic results. Why?: Effects are applied on a feature by feature basis and while smooth or simplify may work fine for a single isolated feature, they can quickly introduce conflicts and overlaps when applied individually to many close features. The smooth and simplify geoprocessing tools handle these cases by considering topological conflicts and handling cases like coincident edges. We'd be interested in hearing out cases where you still feel this functionality would be valuable given the explanation above. ... View more

Line offset exists in the specification but the ArcGIS JavaScript API and therefore the ArcGIS Online map viewer doesn't support it at this time. It's on our list to add in a future release where we want to ensure 1) excellent performance and 2) handling of complex geometries. ... View more

Unfortunately these are a few cases where this string has been embedded within the source list of the service itself. For some Esri services, we will be looking at the possibility of removing these. In the meantime, unfortunately the only workaround is to create a text element with the sources without this string and put the real service layer credits off the page. ... View more

Interesting, that's not what the field delimiter was designed for! Backstory: In ArcMap when creating unique value symbology from many fields, we typically store "<value 1>,<value2>" etc with each value being separated by a comma. This approach worked for many cases, but went horribly wrong when the unique value from a field actually contained a comma. We added analysis code to detect this when generating unique values and would switch the separator to another character. The UI under Advanced was just there to provide an annotation place to edit it. In ArcGIS Pro, we don't store unique values for the comma delimited case in a single string with a separator. We store an array of values. Therefore, we don't need the delimiter for the above purpose. Obviously you can hand edit the labels for the classes to not be commas, but I can imagine that would be time consuming as you note. It appears the sort is primarily an issue for 1-9 and then things are ok after that, so maybe re-ordering just those won't be too bad. Looks like we have a few things to look into including the sort. ... View more

This case you're showing in the UI is Vary symbology by color—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop  which is for linking data values to a color not color values to a color. See Attribute-driven color in symbology—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop for color to color. ... View more
