Does anyone with Pro 3.5 know if the new Append To Existing tool can handle relationship classes?  Or has the unmanaged behavior been changed?   I posted to this blog but have not heard anything.  https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-pro/analytics/overwrite-options-arcgis-pro My post Will this properly handle relationship classes? I have had this issue for years when we need to swap out the records of a parent table. Even though our relationship classes are set to “Unmanaged” Arc will still set all the child keys to null on me if a delete the parent! This is not what I would expect from an “Unmanaged” relate. Will this new tool have a way around this? If not when the delete fires all the child record keys get set to null and then there is no way to tell them apart anymore. Preferably “Unmanaged” relates get changed to be truly unmanaged, but if not, this tool should have a way around this. Esp when we have replication going it gets hard. It is also hard since we have 15-20 relates off the parent. It can take hours to delete since it goes and touches every single child. BTW the way I have been getting around this the last few years by doing this - First calculate all the parent keys to the word Delete. Then replicate if you have a replica. Then finally delete the records. This way when it goes hunting for children it finds none. thanks for any advice here ... View more

I have a toolbox with optional inputs that I want blank unless the user picks something. This works great in Pro. But no matter what options I try WAB Geoprocessing widget forces a value to be picked and it cannot be left blank at all.  This does not make sense as it is an optional parameter. I have set Remove default values in both places when publishing.   I think I have seen this before.  I really do not want to add a None option.  I am guessing this will not get fixed at this point but its worth a shot if anyone has a way? thanks   ...

We are moving to Alias names and it is making the Table widget hard to use. For example all these just say Any Hit... An option to "fit" the size to the name would be great.  And/Or add a double click at the cell boundary to auto expand like in Excel. And/Or have the ability to wrap the text in the column headings would be pretty sweet.  JS example here.   Options for text wrap for the data in the fields also would be great.  I know this one is easy as @JonathanUihlein did it right in front of me.  I think text wrapping options should be in all places from field names, field data, text popups, etc.  thanks a lot ...

We really need the ability for the user to be able to flip between alias and field name in the Table widget like in ArcPro. thanks ... View more

Need a way to hide some parameters when they are not relevant.  Works in Pro but not seeing it work in ExB analysis widget.  I mostly want enabled so I can turn some off params but not sure if other things work or not?  One tool I limit to 1 polygon selected for example. def updateParameters(self):         # Modify the values and properties of parameters before internal         # validation is performed.         if self.params[2].value:             self.params[3].enabled = True         else:             self.params[3].enabled = False         return   thanks ...

These are great in Pro when a tool has several options but does not work in ExB (and did not in WAB also).  They do work in Pro after the tool is published. Add support for toolbox categories please. thanks a lot ... View more

Table widget Export to CSV is using the field Alias with no option to change.  This option is in all the ArcPro export tools.  I thought it would default to the real field name but testing I got alias.  Alias names tend to have spaces and special chars which makes the CSV unusable in most programs that users would want a CSV for.  Seems like a good use case.   Thanks a lot ...
