Interesting.  Thank you for the feedback.  So I mimiced your workflow as described.  Created a point feature class with 2 attribute fields (TEXT) called NAME and NAME2.  Then initially edited the NAME field to have values of 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 and 1-4.  Saved the edits.  Then did a field calculation on the NAME field where my Python syntax is 'P' + !NAME! - hit the okay button.  My output is as expected, P1-1, P1-2, P1-3 and P1-4.  See image below.  I'm using ArcGIS Pro 3.5.4 and a file geodatabase. ...

@AaronKoelker - since you're seeing this at 3.5.4 and presumably not 3.4.3, I have a few questions: 1. When you upgraded to 3.5, did you perform a clean uninstall and install of ArcGIS Pro first before installing 3.5.0 and then upgraded to 3.5.4?  Personally, I perform a clean uninstall and install going from say 3.4 to 3.5.  Then upgrade to the minor service packs. 2.  Have you performed a soft reset of ArcGIS Pro?  Sometimes this fixes general wonkiness. 3.  If you're on Windows 10, you can uinstall services packs back to 3.5.0 for example.  To do so, go to Control Panel->Uninstall a program->(top left) View installed updates->then click the ArcGIS Pro Patch 4 (3.5.4) and uninstall.  This will remove the service pack back to ArcGIS Pro 3.5.3.  You can also uninstall 3, 2, and 1 service packs fully to 3.5.0.  Then retest your workflow.  Does the issue still persist? 4. If you're on Windows 11, Microsoft made it harder to do this.  See screen grab below for Windows 11. ... View more

When you click the Pencil dropdown for the Draw Extent, you should be presented with 4 options - points, lines, polygons and multipatch.  When I click polygons, a blue box below the Input point features parameter opens and, like creating new features, provides numerous "construction tools" to create the draw extent polygon.  I click the polygon construction tool and then am able to draw an extent polygon.  See image below.  Do you see the same? ...

Reading the rule - "the end of a line must touch any part of one other line or any part of itself within a feature class" - I "think" what may be happening is there may be coincident lines on or near the yellow symbol.  You could zoom in and do an interactive select to see if there is one or more selected features.  Not sure but just a guess. The Planarize tool will find and delete coincident features. ... View more

@AmirBar-Maor - are you able to assist @ThomasGoodridge with the question of the Parcel Drafter and it's replacement?  Thank you! ... View more

There is a Traverse tool in ArcGIS Pro that enables you to create a parcel using metes and bounds descriptions.  I have not worked with the Parcel Drafter widget personally so don't know if this fully meets your needs or nots.  There are some rumblings of building this in the ArcGIS Experience Builder, maybe, in the following articles: Parcel Drafter Widget?

I'm not sure of the inner workings of the Flash show/hide as I work in Training Services rather than the Pro Dev Team.  My guess, and it's only a guess mind you, is that it's a temporary graphic created for the flash instance and then disappears into the ether.  Could be wrong... ... View more

As "centered point" is a point label placement default, one workflow that may work is the following: 1.  Use the Feature to Point GP tool, with the Inside parameter checked,  to create a feature class of the polygon centroid as a point. 2. For the newly created feature class, set the symbol as "no color" for the fill and outline - meaning the point symbol is not visible but the layer is turned on. 3.  Label the point layer using the "Centered Point" label placement as desired and the topmost layer in the Contents Pane. 4. For the polygon layer, use the Proportional Symbol option based upon the attribute desired.  I tested this with some demo data and it seems to work. ... View more

@Muhammad_Elbagoury - I tried a few things on my side to see if I could find an OTB solution but did not.  I see you added an ArcGIS Idea so that's a great start to get visibility with the ArcGIS Pro Development Team! ... View more

There's a couple ways to do this: 1.  If you have the Data Reviewer extension, there is a Find Dangles GP tool that identifies dangling nodes. 2.  Likely the easier way is to create a geodatabase topology with the Must not Dangle Topology rule. ... View more
