Yes VBScript, Python and JScript are all options available for Display Expressions in ArcMap.   ... View more

Adding zeros in front should fix this.  2 should be 02 or 002 if your numbers hit the hundreds. ... View more

Customer support thinks it is because of Arcade, not the popup. "...I was discussing this case with my manager, and we believe the differences seen in hyperlink behavior between ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro relate to how the two programs are coded. ArcMap does not have Arcade integrated into its background processes, while ArcGIS Pro does. This changes how the two programs function at a fundamental level..." So this leads to why is Arcade the only option for customizing popup's other than getting into the SDK? ... View more

Testing this more I found the path works fine within the popup.  But still cannot figure out a way to hyperlink correctly.    ... View more

Thanks Dan!  Unfortunately Python is not an option in Pro popups.  ... View more

Thanks Dan!  This fixes the problem.   Edit:  Seemed like an expression would be the fix, I still get the same error. Replace($feature.Plat_HL,"\\", "/") ... View more

Here is the actual workaround, it's not a simple as they make it out to be.  About ten steps per feature verses one if the tool worked correctly. Pro Anno Upgrade Workflow Workaround: In ArcCatalog: Reconcile, Post, and Compress on the server. Make a backup of the database. Copy down the privileges of the features. Export features to a file geodatabase. Make a copy of the database somewhere. Delete any which have the attribute of unplace. Make sure there are no Subtypes. Use Update Annotation Feature Class Tool on each. (Note: On update the OID’s may change) In ArcGIS Pro: Upgrade Dataset Tool on each. Triple check all the data. Replace Unplaced from the old version to the new by comparing. (the Update tool in ArcCatalog automatically changes all the status attributes to Placed.) Fix any errors -> Use the OID numbers to do some of this by comparing it with the old. Export to the sde database. Assign privileges Register as versioned.  Rename old to prev, rename the new. ...

No.   I was just getting more eyes on this for you by mentioning the group.   ... View more

For a button push you will need to use the Pro SDK probably, which is in C#.  In my opinion you are going to want to use a combination of both the Pro SDK and within call some python scripts.  But you can probably do it all within the SDK itself.  You can also probably achieve all this in Python too, except it will be a script tool instead of a button.  Don't even bother looking at the Objects code for help as the packages are completely different.  I had zero .NET experience and took the Extending ArcGIS Pro with Add-Ins course and was able to get right into creating add-ins for Pro after.  Back to the drawing board!  Good Luck!  ...

Right!  I actual like working with annotation better in Pro.  But the migration from an Map sde is not as cut and dry as they make it out to be.  I have a workflow/workaround of about ten steps to get it to work, but that is too much if an organization has 100s of these layers.  The one button upgrade annotation I could get behind, if it worked. ...

The plan was to have everyone switched to Pro this month.  Thankfully we backed everything up before making changes.  From a usability stand point we like Pro even with the many more clicks, but it's a buggy software and largely non Map equivalent, it is not ready.      ... View more
