With each new version of Pro, Esri releases helpful new functionality and improvements. One observation I've made is: Standalone tables are sometimes overlooked when new stuff is released. If I had to guess, I'd say standalone tables might not be fully incorporated into Esri's testing process; not to the degree that feature classes are. So issues with standalone tables can get overlooked. Idea: Could Esri enhance their testing process so that standalone tables get thoroughly tested too -- to the same degree that FCs get tested? Edited: I've removed the example (BUG-000155584) since that seemed to muddy the waters. For what it's worth, that bug isn't intermittent; FGDB views always fail when added to the map -- if the table is already in the Contents. It's the workaround that works intermittently.

Disregard. I don't have much experience with AGOL or Enterprise, but this might be a viable workaround for Enterprise: For Enterprise, you might be able to create a database view or a query layer that has a calculated field for LENGTH. For example, in Oracle, it would be: SELECT SDE.ST_LENGTH(SHAPE) AS SHAPE --other fields FROM MY_FC The same would apply for AREA: SDE.ST_AREA(SHAPE). I imagine you could publish the query to Enterprise and label based on that calculated field. Notes: If using a database view, you might need to register the view with the geodatabase. The problem with using a view or a query layer might be: neither is editable. If you want to edit the layer in Enterprise, then maybe an attribute rule could be used instead to populate a LENGTH field in the actual feature class. Just thinking out loud as a non-expert. I agree that out-of-the-box functionality would be better. Edit: After re-reading your question, I see that you specifically want to publish a feature service, likely for editing. So the idea above for creating a query won't work. Please disregard. Can you create dynamic joins in Enterprise? For example, could you create a view or query layer that has a calculated LENGTH field, then create a dynamic join from the FC to the query, allowing you to still edit the FC in the feature service, but also letting you label using the joined query's LENGTH field?

Why are some bugs googleable, like this one: BUG-000085841 But other bugs aren't googleable, like this one: BUG-000140702 ? While that bug does have a permalink in the Esri Support Search site, I don't get any hits if I google the bug number or bug title.

Here's an example of a working subquery (has a correlated subquery with a table alias: b ). roadinsptable.objectid IN (
SELECT objectid
FROM roadinsptable b
WHERE b.asset_id = roadinsptable.asset_id
ORDER BY date_ DESC, condition DESC
LIMIT 1
) Source: One-to-first joins: Control what related record is used Data: Bud_0-1677007900580.png Video of me trying to write b.asset_id, but it auto-completes b. to BEFORE or BETWEEN (depending on the scenario), which isn't what I want.

@ShitijMehta From the proposal - tell me if I got this right - the proposed tool basically inserts one row at a time and adds value to different fields in that inserted row. Yes. To understand a bit more - What would be your workflow after this? My original intention was: Export the model to a Python script. Share the script with support or colleagues to easily reproduce exact troubleshooting steps. Example use case: "Are you able to script out your steps so I can try running the code exactly the same way because something in our workflows is obviously different if it works for you but I get an error." (conversation with @JoshuaBixby ) Reason for using Model Builder, not writing Python from scratch: Time and skill level. But I imagine there are lots of other use cases too. Does @BradySmith have anything to add? It seems like a no-brainer to me. We need to be able to insert individual rows using Model Builder -- just like we can do with any other automation platform/mechanism. Would you want to insert another row? which means you will rerun the tool again with different values for each field? Yes. Re-run the tool again to insert a handful of other rows. The newly added row will not have a feature associated with it at the point of inserting this new row/s. So, say we add two new rows, you will have to add a new feature for each row later or you are creating 1:many (1 feature and many rows for that feature?) "The newly added [feature] will not have a [geometry value] at the point of inserting this new row/s." That is correct when inserting features into line and polygon feature classes; the geometry column would be null in that case. But for point feature classes, we should be able to create a single-part point geometry by entering X and Y coordinates into the tool. And of course, if we're inserting a row into a standalone table, then there isn't a geometry column, we'd only be populating non-spatial columns. Regarding, "...or you are creating 1:many (1 feature and many rows for that feature?)": I don't think I follow. I don't think related records have much to do with this idea. The tool would either create new features in a feature class. Or new rows in a standalone table. I don't think related data has much to do with the core idea. Thanks!

@DuncanHornby For true nulls, the text could be italicized, a lighter grey color, or something like that.

As mentioned in the Our Thanks to Esri Community MVPs post:
As a token of appreciation for the thousands of hours these kind people have spent helping Esri customers, could Esri do something like offer the MVPs free Esri software? Something significant, such as a free ArcGIS Developer license, which is otherwise unaffordable for personal use.
That seems like a fair trade. Esri wouldn't lose anything, since it's not like the MVPs are paying for ArcGIS Developer for personal use (not affordable). It would show the MVPs that Esri truly does appreciate all the time the MVPs spend helping Esri customers.

ArcGIS Pro 2.6.8; Oracle 18c 10.7.1 EGDB: In the attribute table: The value in the first row for TEST_FIELD equals '<Null>'. The value in the second row is a true null. Bud_0-1676405272514.png We can't tell from looking at the attribute table that the two values are different. The only way determine if a value is one or the other is to query it using Select By Attributes, etc. Idea: It would be very helpful if we could visually discern the difference between null and '<Null>' right in the attribute table. Thanks. Related Ideas: Don't allow "<Null>" literal text to be entered as value (or automatically convert to true null) Demote visual representation of nulls in table and attribute views

ArcGIS Pro 3.0.3; Oracle 18c 10.7.1 EGDB: It's possible for users to enter "<Null>" (no quotes) literal text as a value in a text field. That happens, despite training users and multiple reminders. Of course, "<Null>" is incorrect; a proper null isn't a value, it's the absence of a value. A proper null needs to be set using a technique like: Deleting an existing value using the delete key Using the field calculator Using the null option in a domain There are likely other options too Related: Idea - Documentation about empty strings, nulls, and NaN in ArcGIS Idea: To mitigate this issue, it would help if Pro disallowed "<Null>" literal text to be entered as value. Or alternatively, automatically convert "<Null>" to a proper null (absence of any value). I'm aware that I could set up attribute rules for all fields in all tables to prohibit "<Null>" from being entered. But that'd take way too much work and add unnecessary complexity. It would be better if it were out-of-the-box functionality. Thanks.
