Could anyone provide some clarification on the following issue? I'm trying to develop metadata guidance for my colleagues in my organization, but I don't know what to tell them about FGDC format in Pro. In the ArcGIS Pro documentation online, the article "Create FGDC CSDGM metadata" describes how to edit or create FGDC metadata in Pro. Yet, in the same article, there is the warning, "The ArcGIS platform only works with metadata in the ArcGIS metadata format. If you have metadata content stored in the FGDC CSDGM XML format, it can't be used directly in ArcGIS Pro. When you try to view it, a message appears indicating the metadata content must be upgraded before the metadata can be viewed or edited." I have experienced both this (not being able to view/edit the metadata) and also being able to view/edit FGDC metadata in Pro (even though the Upgrade button's options have been grayed out so I never upgraded the metadata). I know you can change the metadata viewing format in Pro's "Options," and I have done that. But the bottom line for me is that the documentation sounds contradictory and confusing. Why can you sometimes view/edit it in Pro and sometimes not?? I don't get it.

Is there a quick and easy way to list or determine which metadata standard, style, or format is being used by many feature classes at once? A tool, Python code, arcpy, etc.? I want to see a list of all of my organizations 200+ feature classes' metadata styles; I want to see which ones need to be converted to Esri's Item Description metadata format. For example: ALL_ROADS: Esri style, ADDRESS_POINTS: FGDC style, PRECINCTS: Esri style, and so forth. I did some searching but couldn't find any good methods for doing this. I have used the arcpy Metadata class but it doesn't seem to have a way to tell you the feature class's metadata format. My situation is that I've discovered that one old feature class in our enterprise database is in FGDC metadata style, and it's a problem because it contains metadata fields that are not exposed when viewing and editing metadata in ArcGIS, and those fields contain outdated info. I want to re-do the metadata for any feature classes that have non-Esri style metadata, so I need to identify which feature classes need this work done. I did read about the "upgrade" button for metadata, but it was grayed out for me. And this wouldn't solve the problem anyway, because documentation says that parts of the old metadata will still be retained. I definitely do not want that. Thank you for reading!

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.]
