I have a POINTS FC and a POLYGONS FC. In POINTS, I want to use the field calculator to populate a POINTS.ASSET_ID field with the ASSET_IDs from POLYGONS, where a point touches a polygon. The spatial relationship is 1:1. In other words, I want to get the ASSET_ID from the intersecting polygon and use it to populate the ASSET_ID field in the point. I want to do this all within a simple field calculation, not using multiple GP tools and joins. I would also like this to work for cases where the ID fields don’t have the same name. ... View more

ArcGIS Pro 3.4.3; File Geodatabase There is an option to "Auto Apply attribute edits" in Options > Editing > General > Attributes. I'm wondering if a similar option could be added to the Geometry section for geometry edits: "Auto Apply geometry edits" I want a new point to be immediately saved to the FC after I draw it. Scenario: A while back, I created ~5 points in a FGDB FC. But when I look at the FC now, the points aren't there. I think what happened is, I forgot to save my edits, left ArcGIS Pro open, and then my computer was automatically restarted by IT. So Pro didn't have an opportunity to prompt me to save the edits, such as when closing Pro, so the edits were lost. If I could automatically save geometry edits when creating points, then this scenario could be avoided in the future. ... View more

@SimonSchütte_ct mentioned in Feature class name starting with a number: There is no feedback on why you can´t type in a number: Ideally switch Alias and Name fields and add a "copy values over" button. If the Alias starts with a number, inform the user that the Name cannot start with a number and suggest an alternative such as underscore number by default. Bonus point if the ArcGIS Pro Settings get an entry to specify the default prefix for Names that would usually start with a number %prefix% Could Pro be enhanced so that it explains to the user that FC names that start with a number are not accepted? Not just documentation, but a warning right in the software.     ... View more

For labels on features in a map, such as address labels generated/concatenated from an expression, I want to right-click the label in the map and copy it to the clipboard. And/or see the label text in the Explore pop-up and copy the text from there. Otherwise, it seems like the label text isn't available for copying; only the underlying, unconatenated fields are available in the Explore pop-up. ... View more

It would be helpful if we could name a FC starting with a number, such as a property address: 123_Main_St. Currently, that doesn't seem to be allowed; a FC can only start with a letter. ... View more

ArcGIS Pro 3.4.3 In the pop-up window, I want to right-click a hyperlink and copy it to the clipboard, rather than selecting the text to copy it. Users get confused when there is no copy option in the context menu. They don't realize they need to select the text in order to right-click and copy it.   ... View more
