ArcGIS Pro 3.4.3 In the attribute table, it would help to have a keyboard shortcut to enter today's date into a date field instead of clicking in the calendar.

AGOL hosted feature layer, ArcGIS Pro 3.4.3. When I copy a value (from an MS List cell) and paste it into a Double field in a Pro attribute table cell, such as 2.8%, no value gets inserted. The cell remains null. I need to re-copy the number only, such as 2.8, to get it to paste properly. Idea: Automatically remove the symbol and insert the number into the Double field. This would work similarly to how commas are currently handled; they are automatically removed from the value.

Backround: Using a non-public, hosted AGOL feature layer that contains a standalone table. ArcGIS Pro 3.4.3. Steps: I navigated to a layer in AGOL. Hit Open in ArcGIS Pro. Download PerformanceManagement.pitemx. Double-click the .pitemx file in Windows File Explorer. The file opens in a new Pro 3.4.3 instance. But I get an error: Failed to add online item. Cannot download portal item at {6c513414db4f4d1398be76708ccdb57f9}. You wouldn't know it from the error message, but the issue is: I'm not logged in to my AGOL account. If I sign in to my AGOL account in a different Pro instance, then open the .pitemx file in Windows File Explorer, the new Pro instance will automatically sign in and open the .pitemx file without issue. Idea: Prompt the user to sign into their AGOL account when opening a .pitemx file in Pro, if they aren't already signed in.

@IanWittenmyer On a side note, I think you should be merging duplicate ideas instead of closing them. That's how it's done in other Esri idea communities.

Thanks! This brings to mind a related Python option: Run a python script that consumes the 10 tables and outputs the results in a big blob of text in the python window that I could copy to an email. Not a very elegant solution; maybe a last resort.

I want to display the results from ten single-row ArcGIS Pro reports on the same page/screen. And I want to export the single screen of multiple reports to a single PDF (or a single Excel worksheet). I don't think that's currently possible. Display attributes of 10 different single-row GP output tables on a single page?

Thoughts about an SQL query approach: Is it possible to write an ST_GEOMETRY SQL query that could clip line features like roads or sidewalks to a SD polygon? I assume that's not possible for lines, since ST_Geometry SQL functions are limited, whereas it'd be easy for points. But if it were possible, then I could write ten SQL queries in SQL Developer, do a find-and-replace to change the subdivision ID in each query (or set up an SQL parameter to enter the subdivision number), then hit run to run all 10 queries in a single action. Copy the raw output text to an email.

I have 10 civil asset FCs: roads, sidewalks, sewers, more (Oracle SDE.ST_GEOMETRY EGDB). And I have a model that clips the FCs using a subdivision polygon and outputs 10 FGDB standalone tables that have a single row of summarized stats about the assets in that subdivision. I can open the attribute table of each table and get the stats, and then manually enter the numbers into an email to our Finance department for financial reporting purposes. Instead of opening the attribute table of each output table to get the values, I want a single page of stats that I can send to Finance via a printed PDF or some other method. Click a button, get a single page of stats, and manually send an email. I can't union all the outputs together into a single query/report, because each table/asset type has different fields. How can I display the attributes of 10 different single-row GP output tables on a single page or screen? For example, an ArcGIS Pro report, a single tab in an Excel spreadsheet, a Portal dashboard, or some other reporting software that can display multiple small reports on a single page. Frequency: 20 runs per year. Pro Idea: Output multiple small reports on the same page/screen

@NaicongLi Please change this idea to Open so we can vote for it.

@ValeriaChavez Are you planning to release a "Your Ideas in ArcPro 3.7" page? I find these pages helpful.

Related comment from @LindsayRaabe_FPCWA in Built-in Survey123 email notification (to staff when survey submitted: Adding my backing to this idea. We've been using Power Automate/Flow to enable email notifications, and it is sooooo frustrating because of how fragile and cumbersome it is. We can't reuse a Survey123 Connection across flows, having to create a new connection for each, and have regular instances of flows failing despite no changes having been made, with new connections being the only way to fix it. This is on top of having to use a dedicated service account as the send email (which we GIS people aren't allowed to manage meaning we need to get IT involved in any new flows). A built in email notification with basic ITTT functionality based on values in the survey would be an immense improvement!

I imagine someone's said this already, but I believe you can do this with the Admin REST API.

I noticed @KAnderson recently upvoted this idea. You might like this post: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-questions/add-guid-field-to-existing-agol-survey123-feature/m-p/1698341/highlight/true#M68515 Not sure what kind of default value you want to set up. But you might be able to use the Admin REST API for it.

AGOL: Advanced views (join views) are a hassle since they lock the schema of the underlying feature layers. Once the layers are rolled into a map/app, it's too much of a hassle to drop the join, make changes to the underlying layers, re-join, and repair the map/app. This idea is to create advanced views without locking underlying feature layer schemas.

A related, but different, AGOL idea: Computed column (SQL expression field) in AGOL table/hosted feature layer
