Thank you everyone for your thoughts and input on this idea.  I am not able to address specific feedback, rather after thoroughly reviewing the comments, I will share relevant resources and enhancements implemented over many releases.  If you are familiar with all of this, great.  If you are not, we hope some of the information will improve your overall editing experience.  There is feedback in this idea, such as floating toolbars, we have not addressed but the entire Pro team is listening, and we continue working towards improving the overall Pro user experience.  This comment is written for ArcGIS Pro 3.3.   If you have specific questions about functionality and releases, please let us know. Enable Editing and edit sessions. As noted in the comments, there is an Editing Option to Enable and disable editing from the Edit tab (also referred to as Enable Editing).  This option now includes a sub-option for Multiple or Single workspace edit session.  With the Single Workspace editing option, user is prompted to choose one workspace to edit.  There is no behavior change with the Multiple workspace option.  For more information, refer to this help topic: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/set-edit-session-options.htm Enable Editing is supported as an Administrator setting.  For more information, refer to this help topic:  https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/get-started/application-setting-management.htm The Data Design views, such as the Fields view, have Save and Discard edit commands within the view so that schema changes can be saved without switching views and tabs. In the product plan: Multiple and Single workspace edit session options as an Administrator setting.   Create Features and Modify Feature notification banners will be extended to Enable Editing. Geoprocessing tools already have these updated notification banners. Creating new features with the Create Features pane. It is not necessary to click a layer before choosing an editing template as noted in the original post.  You may choose the template directly.   There are many Filter and Search capabilities to limit the editing templates shown including a Filter By option to filter by Contents selection.   For more information, refer to this help topic: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/filter-and-search-for-templates.htm The Create Features pane has a Favorites tab where users can customize which templates to show.  Favorites tab supports grouping and nesting capabilities not available in the Templates tab.  For more information, refer to this help topic:   https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/organize-favorite-feature-templates.htm As @Scott_Harris noted in a comment above, editing templates can be authored to activate different default tools.  Additional editing template customizations include setting default attributes and configuring prompts for user to set attributes prior to creating features.  For more information, refer to this help topic:  https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/configure-a-feature-template.htm   Annotation editing. The Annotation edit tool pane now has options to turn off Rotate and Resize.  Unchecking this option will facilitate moving annotation features more quickly. The Annotation edit tool does not activate the text string by default when an annotation feature is selected. To edit the text string directly on the map, double click it.  An enhancement in our product plan for the Annotation edit tool is to support multiple selected annotation features.  We anticipate this will improve editing of annotation features with leader lines, among other benefits. For more information on the Annotation edit tool, refer to this help topic:  https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/edit-annotation-text.htm While creating new annotation features, advance to the Active Template pane to set formatting For more information on creating Annotation features, refer to this help topic:  https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/create-annotation-features.htm   Additional Editor Options. ESC shortcut key is available to deactivate any edit tool.  It will default to either the Explore tool or Select tool as specified by the user in the Editor options dialog. Apply and Discard prompts for uncommitted Geometry and Attribute edits can be configured in the Editor options to always apply or always discard or always prompt. For more information on Editor options, refer to this help topic  https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/editing-options.htm Customizations In addition to Shortcut keys and adding commands to the QAT, users can add group to core tabs.  Editing and non-Editing commands could be combined for quick access.   Users can also add Custom tabs with Custom groups. For more information, refer to this help topic:    https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/get-started/customize-the-ribbon.htm Within Editing, the Tools gallery is also customizable.  Customizations made in the Tools gallery are reflected in the Modify Features pane’s My Tools view.  For more information, refer to this help topic:  https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/customize-the-editing-tool-gallery.htm The edit toolbar that by default shows at the bottom of the map can be resized and reposition by clicking the gear at the bottom right of the toolbar.  It can even be hidden because the same tools and commands on the edit toolbar are available in the tool context menu  For more information, refer to this help topic:  https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/configure-the-editing-toolbar.htm   Edit tool selection. For information on Edit tools Selection filtering and the Active Select tool, there are two blogs in addition to the help.   @John_Jones added a comment to this Idea with some information as well.  https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-pro/data-management/whats-new-for-editing-in-arcgis-pro-2-9/ https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-blog/selection-filtering/ba-p/1207979 Help:  https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/select-features-for-editing.htm   Two final enhancements that I want to tell you about: The Vertex Editing command allows editors to toggle on/off mid-sketch vertex editing.  Although modifying vertices while sketching can be beneficial, it made some edits more complicated.  By toggling it off, a closed loop line can more easily be sketched.  For more information refer to this help topic:  https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/productivity-options-for-editing.htm .  It is also described in this blog post:  https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-blog/editing-tools-to-create-multipart-polygons/ba-p/1081973 The Snap Chip can be used to specify which feature to snap to while sketching and modifying features.  The Snap Chip is available in 2D maps and may is useful for editing workflows that require snapping to features based on Z values.    It is also available for UN connectivity editing workflows.   The Snap Chip Z editing workflow is covered in this help topic:  https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/use-the-snap-chip.htm ...

Thank you for your reply.  Follow up on a couple of my questions.

Hi, I have a couple of qeustions 1) Can you look at the field and field formatting and check if there could be something going on at the field level? 2) Are you using the date control to set date and time? 3) Is it changing the value when you hit Enter to apply the attribute change or Save Edits 4) Is it reproducible in Attribute table, Attribute pane, or both? 5) What type of datasource? Thanks, Jennifer ... View more

The 'Traffic Calming' string you highlighted is the name of the Field Group.  If you add a row to the field group: program = Active Transportation design_lead = ANY g_designer = ANY does this help?  I believe what is happening is that you did not add Active Transportation to the field group.  ...
