I think this is a great idea!  I don't understand all those layers, either. ... View more

I had a similar problem a while ago.  Are you trying to use geoprocessing tools, and do you use Concurrent Use licenses for Pro?  Do you have a License Manager?  Through working with Esri, with a LOT of calls and back-and-forth, I learned that arcpy geoprocessing tools require that you're connected to the license manager in Pro.  It sounded like it's not possible to use arcpy geoprocessing tools via ArcGIS Server python... which just doesn't make any sense to me... I don't know if any of that is relevant to your situation, but I thought I'd mention it just in case. ... View more

This is a great idea!  For a year or two, I didn't understand that the Pairwise tools are simply more efficient versions of older tools, until I heard an explanation of it at the Dev Summit.  I think it would be super helpful to have a clear indication in Pro of which tools are new or deprecated. ...

So cool!  I'm amazed at the resolution.  I do wish it had a scale bar; it's impossible to tell the scale, of course, and I definitely like that there's a measuring tool, but a scale bar would be more convenient.  Anyway, thanks for sharing this! ... View more

I can understand why some people don't like the badges, but I just want to voice my support for the badge program - I do actually enjoy getting them and seeing myself get "farther up," and funnily enough it does offer extra motivation to me!  🙂  I think it's a fun idea. ... View more

Okay, that's good to know.  Thank you very much for sharing that! ... View more

Thank you for the information!   I don't want to remove and re-add the layer in this case, since it has complex symbology.  But that would be handy in many cases. ... View more

Thank you!   Good to know.  It's not worth it in this particular case to create a tool, but I guess it sounds like the implication is that a script is "disconnected" from Pro in such a way that refreshing the table doesn't grab the script's edits?  That doesn't make sense to me... but Pro can be mysterious. ...

Wow, I really thought that the refresh button at the bottom right of the attribute table would do the job, but it did not.  Weird!   ... View more

Thanks for your post! Huh, I never knew about that refresh button, even though I have used Pro a lot!  So thank you for pointing that out.  Now, looking over to the right side near that button, I'm noticing the attribute table "hamburger" button, which I hadn't noticed either.  I guess I'm used to buttons being aligned to the left side, so it feels odd to me to have most buttons aligned left but one or two aligned right.  (And I have a huge screen, so that probably doesn't help with noticing buttons on an unexpected side.) However, that refresh button at the bottom right of the map area didn't make the edits appear.  It appeared to do some work, like the map area and table went white for a moment while it worked, and then they seemingly reloaded.  But the edits still did not appear in the table.  Next, to make sure there were indeed edits, I closed and reopened Pro, and then I could see the edits in the table. [Edit:  now I'm hunting on the screen for other buttons in places where I would not expect them, and I'm seeing another refresh button down at the bottom of the table, on the right, and the tooltip says "refresh the table." I had never even really noticed any of the buttons down there; I thought all the table buttons would be at the top left, maybe based on how ArcMap is?  I'm going to do some testing now to see if this other button will do the job.] ...

I wonder if this behavior is because in Pro you don't have to formally open an edit session, you can just click and start editing in the table?  so it's like always in edit mode?  not sure.  Anyway, yes, it would be helpful if it didn't have a lock when you're viewing the table. ... View more

Hmm, it's hard to think of one word that clearly communicates the meaning, so I can see why Esri does not already have a better word here.  I think "select" would be good, because "select" says that you're picking the highlighted rows and they'll be blue (rather than yellow) because we know that selected rows are blue.  "Reselect" - with the "re" prefix - implies to me that I would be returning to some previous state (instead of going to a new state where the currently selected (blue) rows become unselected), like where the highlighted rows are returning to be a part of the original larger selection, which we know is not what the button means. Here are my favorite word choices: Select Refine Limit Only Maybe also "cull," but that might sound weird because it's usually used in scenarios like, "We need to cull the herd of cattle and kill some of them," which sounds violent or sad! ...
