Yes, this workflow can be automated. However, it's not efficient to calculate the park name field in playgrounds on a regular basis. Since this is something you need to happen regularly, I recommend creating a relationship class between park and playground and utilize Attribute Rules to automatically populate the park name. This has the benefit of always being updated immediately when the data changes instead of only when you run the script. ... View more

The Calculate Field tool in ArcGIS Pro will now create the field if it doesn't already exist, which is handy and saves a step. Either way, you should be able to have access to the new field in model builder and Python. Without more details, I can't advise further. If you are able to provide a detailed description of your starting tables and what you want the output to be, we might be able to provide some code examples. ... View more

If you can use geoprocessing tools to complete the workflow, it can be automated. If you have a basic working knowledge of Python, you can copy the Python command from Pro and paste it into your IDE to get the code started. Alternatively, if you already have a model built, you can export the model to Python. You would be free to edit variable names and utilize the memory workspace. I'm having trouble fully understanding the workflow from your description so please follow-up with any specific, detailed questions you have. ... View more

You'll probably use the geometryEngine for this. The docs don't clarify what happens when two geometries share a boundary, so you'll have to do a little testing. Seems like crosses or intersects would be a good place to start. Assuming that intersects will return true if they share an edge, you could check if it intersects but doesn't cross. EDIT: It looks like relate is what you want. You'll look for a specific boundary result in the DE-9IM matrix table result values. ... View more

This table I am editing contains critical data. Thanks! Yes, you should compress, update statistics, and rebuild indexes on a regular basis. Enterprise geodatabase maintenance tasks—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation The only down side to removing geoprocessing history is that you have to have a process to do it and you won't have a history of geoprocessing operations run on the data. If neither of those things are trouble for you or your organization, then go for it. For me, I try to include the option to not record the gp history in metadata when I run scripts. arcpy.SetLogMetadata(False) SetLogMetadata—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation ... View more

I think maybe you are missing single quotes around the last part of the SQL expression for subType. Is it a string or a number value? Try using f-string to build the expression. f"ROLLNUM15 = '{txtARN}' and SUBTYPE = '{subType}'" ... View more

That is definitely what I would do first. You could also try to rebuild the indexes. Also add the layer to a map and running some gp tool on it. If it's also slow there, you could try deleting geoprocessing history from the metadata. Or you could copy the features into a new feature class for testing and run your script on the new feature class to see if the performance is any different. ... View more

Which also includes improvements to the popup. The Popup and Features widgets now display features from multiple layers in the order they are displayed in the map. This means that the features of the topmost layer in the map will appear first, followed by the features of the next layer, and so on. In previous versions, the features were displayed in the order they were returned from the server. ... View more
