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! ...

I agree.  Whenever I see "reselect," I envision returning the highlighted features back to "regular/plain" selection, while also keeping the other regularly-selected features selected.  In other words, keeping all current selections, but make the yellow features blue.  Since that's not what the button does, I do find it confusing and I have to read the button description every time. ...

Hi there, I went through a really long saga trying to troubleshoot a script that worked with Pro but not with ArcGIS Server Python.  I went through a service ticket with Esri and it took a lot of back and forth.  After much work, we finally determined that my script didn't work when run with the Server python because it was not connected to the license manager.  Arcpy geoprocessing tools have to be connected to the license manager in order to run, even though you can run basic Python (other than geoprocessing) (I REALLY wish Esri made this fact more evident!! It took untold hours and weeks for us to learn this fact).  In my case, I was trying to run it on a server in our public DMZ, and our license manager is on a server in our internal network, and those cannot connect in the desired way, so it was impossible for the public DMZ server's python to be licensed.  We came up with a workaround to run the script in the internal network and it would copy files to the DMZ server rather than directly working on those files from the DMZ. Sounds like in your case, you are logging into a portal rather than using a license manager?  I'm not familiar with the intricacies of that.  But I wonder if it could be a similar situation, where somehow ArcGIS Server python has limitations when it comes to certain kinds of connections??  I dunno.  Sorry I don't have an answer.  But I thought I'd share all this in case it happened to be of any use to you or someone else looking at this post. Good luck!!! ... View more

@AlyciaRajendran_esri , Thank you for the info! 🙂  That's interesting to know it's a bug.  Thanks! ... View more
