Hi @CarsonGEO  I believe this is a bug.  Here is the bug number that you use to track the issue - BUG-000178730.  To work around this Open the Insert Table Set the Table to None. Click OK. Go back into the dialog and reset the Table. Click OK. Or you can manually update the CIMPATH to the correct map name in the Element Pane “Plain text view”. Setting the Map Frame to “None” does not reset the element. You must “reset” the table (layer) link. Tom ... View more

Hi @CarolineThomson15  You can track issues from the support site.  Here is a link for the issue mentioned earlier in this thread -  https://support.esri.com/en-us/bug/in-arcgis-pro-the-map-layout-legend-does-not-honor-the-bug-000168999 Tom ... View more

@RTPL_AU  What is a reasonable amount of time to submit a bug? I think it depends on the customer, the issue, the priority of getting a fix, is there a workaround. In my opinion the answer to the question is mostly subjective.  We have an imperfect system. Things slip through the cracks. I hope you would agree that we all are trying our best to get our individual jobs done the best that we can. ... View more

Hi @RTPL_AU  I'm sure you would agree that a bug is still a bug. If you run into an issue please submit the issue to support.  I think you would also agree that the Questions section of this Community site is not an optimal bug tracking system. Its great that information is shared and sometime this information is about bugs. This is understood. We glean information, such as with this thread, and if it is something we can replicate we log the issue for further investigation. However, this is an informal system where information can be lost or miscommunicated as appears to be the case here on my part. Hopefully I can clear things up a bit. There are 2 different systems, that I'm aware of, that track bugs.  One is internal, that also includes bugs for software that is currently being developed. We try to address as many of these issues as we can so that customers like yourself do not run into these issues when that version of the software is released. This is the "private" system I was referring to. This system also includes issues found with released versions of the software - those reported by customers and those found and logged internally, after all, bugs do get missed.  I apologize if I gave the impression that we have a cache of "secret" bugs that we hide from customers. We do not have a secret cache of bugs. The other bug tracking system is the public one. One that you have access to and can track bugs. This one is tied to actual customers. This also includes the number of customers that the bug is affecting. These bugs carry more weight than bugs submitted internally, by people like myself. That is why I encourage people to submit bugs through support.  Hope this helps, Tom   ... View more

Hi @David_Brooks  We do have an internal bug. Currently it is sitting in our backlog. I do not know when we will get to it. I'll make note of your query and perhaps it might be something we can bump up in priority.  Unfortunately, this internal bug cannot be tracked outside of Esri. If you want to keep track of this issue you should contact support and enter a bug with them. Entering an issue with support also helps us gage how many are being affected by a bug and helps us prioritize our work. Having a bug number generated from a customer such as yourself makes a real difference.   Tom ...

Hi @ZeMadmapper  This capability is already available with ArcGIS Pro. Adding a thousand separator to your grid labels is done using a formatting tag. Here is a screenshot of how it looks in ArcGIS Pro. For more information please see the help topic Work with grid labels tags .  Hope this helps, Tom ... View more

Hi @JonathanDandois  Currently, you can utilize the date/time stored in a bookmark in order to create a Bookmark Map Series that sets the time for the map frame. You can use dynamic text to display the date/time. One caveat, you won't be able to set a page query on layers such as you can with Spatial Map Series. This may not be the clean workflow/solution you're looking for, but it might help you get "most" of the job done in the meantime. Hope this helps, Tom   ... View more

Hi @HajarAlqayoudhi  You asked how to disable the spell check. This can be done in the Options dialog (Proofing tab). For more information please see the help topic Set proofing options. Hope this helps, Tom ... View more

Hi @iticki  It is probable that you are running into BUG-000162418. This occurs when the the map is rotated and the map frames height is greater than its width. If your scenario is such that the map is not rotated and the map frame's height is not greater than its width then you may be running into an issue, though similar, that is different than BUG-000162418. If so, please contact support. Thanks, Tom ... View more

Hi @Amanda__Huber,  There are no specific issues that I'm aware of that would cause this not to work.  I was able to do this successfully using 3.4. In the screenshot below I was applying a "Custom query". I was also successful with "Visible rows" and "Map series rows".  I noticed that the error stated that no features were found (with, I presume, the custom query). I tested this as well and found no problem. There could be an issue specific to you data. Could you contact support?  They are better equipped to handle troubleshooting steps and gather bug data. They can be contacted at https://support.esri.com/en/contact-tech-support. Thanks, Tom ... View more

Hi @ChrisShaffer  How large is the map frame - in page units?  Are you zoomed into the layout page?   Tom   ... View more

Hi @MattMurray1 ,  I apologize if my response made it appear that "you can either have layer clipping or layer blending but not both." This is NOT the case. Both should work together.  In the screenshot below you can see in the map frame an example of a vector tile service layer (USA_Topo_Maps) blended with a red map background using the "Mulitply" blending option. The layer is also clipped. On the right is the clipped layer without blending.  I would assume any case where this is not working to be a bug. Since there are many different layer type\blend option combinations it is quite possible that there may be a bug with a specific combination when clipped. Or, there could be another variable that is interfering with the drawing in your case. For instance, is this issue only occurring with a map frame (page layout) or do you see it in a map view? I found some related issues that have been addressed: BUG-000154946 Blend and Clip behavior on Layouts with CMYK are not WYSIWYG. This issue was fixed with release version 3.2. BUG-000151718 The clip to an outline option in Layout View causes the entire map frame to go white when activated on hill shade imagery that has a layer blend of Multiply applied to it. This issue was fixed with release version 3.1. BUG-000142625 Setting the layer blending mode to 'Darken' with a map series enabled causes the 'Exclude layers from clipping' settings in the Clip Layers section to not apply. This issue was fixed with release version 3.1. BUG-000141559 The Clip Layers tool does not work correctly in ArcGIS Pro 2.8.x for layers that are excluded from clipping if Layer Blend is set to a different option than Normal or Exclusion. This issue was fixed with release version 3.0. Currently, I'm not aware of any outstanding issue concerning blending and clipping. If you are using version after 3.2 you may be running into a new bug.  Can you contact Esri Support? They are better equipped to handle troubleshooting steps and gather bug data. They can be contacted at https://support.esri.com/en/contact-tech-support.

Hi @HollyTorpey_LSA  I can confirm the behavior you outline - when the Export pane is set for a non-PDF output type that supports map series but does not support a single file (ex: PNG) the Files setting is carried over to the PDF. Though it is a valid setting for PDF, Pro should not be changing this based on the setting for a different output type. If this is an issue you want to monitor I would recommend contacting support. They can be contacted at https://support.esri.com/en/contact-tech-support. In the meantime, I'll take this to the team.   Thanks for the feedback! Tom   ... View more

Hi @PaulBartschi  A fix for BUG-000167906 A legend item element gets duplicated when copying a layer from a map frame on one layout to another map frame on another layout is available with the 3.3.2 patch for ArcGIS Pro and future releases. ArcGIS Pro 3.3 patch 2 (3.3.2) is now available for users to download from My Esri. Unfortunately, we could not address a separate legend item issue, BUG-000170439 Unassigned layers are unexpectedly appearing in the legend of a duplicated layout when reopening an ArcGIS Pro project file (.aprx), in time for the 3.3.2 patch. We have fixed this issue in version 3.4. There are several key differences between BUG-000170439 and BUG-000167906. BUG-000170439 was reproduced in Pro versions before 3.3, while BUG-000167906 was introduced at 3.3. In BUG-000170439 legend items are removed from the legend before being copied or duplicated In BUG-000170439 the issue is only seen after resaving and reopening the project and is seen with the second layout not the original layout as seen with 000167906 Though I’m currently not aware of any other issues concerning unexpected legend items that does not mean there are no outstanding issues. If you are still experiencing issues with unexpected legend items, please let us know. Commenting on the Community site is always helpful. Even more helpful is contacting esri support (https://support.esri.com/en/contact-tech-support). Getting steps, and data if needed, to reproduce an issue is vital in understanding the issue, fixing the issue, verifying the fix, and incorporating the scenario into out testing and certification framework.
