Hi Marco. I am pretty confident that it is not the external software that was being used to read the output products as I tried it with numerous export file types that opened with different software packages and all had the same result. Put simply, whilst having more complex colour management options is not a bad thing for people like yourself, it shouldn't come at the detriment to other users who have been undertaking tasks for many years using preceding software without any glitches. Many graphics and images included in map layouts can be sourced from many places and there is a high chance they won't all be the same colour profile. You shouldn't need to be an expert in background settings like this to be able to produce a simple map layout to PDF which is a widely used document format.  ... View more

This would be a useful feature to have. Being able to restrict a date to either Current, Current or Past, Past, etc. In my scenario (similar to Nisha), we want people to update as regularly as possible, but there may be delays due to the nature of our work meaning backdating is required. Projecting forwards though should not happen, so it would be good if we could disable that. It would also be good if a 2nd date field could be restricted to not be back dated beyond a date set in a previous date field (i.e. Start and End dates of a harvesting operation).  ... View more

You mention that the transparency now works as vector outputs. Are you referring to in ArcMap or in ArcPro? This is something that I have come across in the past as well and is frustrating. If ArcPro can handle this then that is a positive (though still useless if PDF's don't handle images very well).  ... View more

Putting it simply, that plain sucks. You would think that the latest and greatest would at least include all of the functionality (even if achieved via different, "improved" methods) of it's predecessor. Maybe in the future this will be fixed. PDF's are after all a pretty common format for document creation.  ... View more

I'll go do some digging and see what I can find. Thanks for your feedback so far. I might just add in here that this isn't an issue in ArcMap (which we still use day to day - I'm just trying to familiarise myself on side projects).  ... View more

It would still be good to know why it doesn't work as expected when exporting to the vector formats. PDF is our preferred method of map production because of it's easy use for viewing and printing to set page sizes (not to mention more versatile than images).  ... View more

I am definitely exporting the Map Layout as a PDF file (vector). I am attempting to Export the Map Layout as an image (PNG) @ 300dpi now to see if it has the same effect or not.  EDIT: Exporting to a PNG (image) produces the desired result (images in their original format - no distortion).  ...

Hi Dan. I'm not sure I understand what you are asking. I believe you want me to confirm if I set it to Vector or Image format but I don't know where I am supposed to change that setting? Is this in the Export window I showed in the screenshot above or somewhere else? ... View more

I too wish to know how to do this? I doubt that it can be unfortunately and believe that this NEEDS to be built in for non American users (like us in Australia). It is quite confusing for staff who are not versed in the ways of AGOL technicalities. Simply, the edit popup date format should honour the customised display popup format.  ... View more

Great! I see where I went wrong. I just copied and pasted the expression Curits provided which was missing a bracket and I didn't notice. Worked perfectly the second time using your's Dan. Thank you both for your help!  ... View more

Here's a copy of the tool I've been testing this in. Not quite sure how to use the script you provided (pretty much a Python novice). We too are using 10.5.1 and there is only the one variable in the tool.  ... View more

I seem to be having similar issues. I was getting the "1" output but now I get the date but also keep getting errors about incorrect naming. Can anyone tell me what name is wrong? The original demo tool provided further up has the same issue! ... View more
