@SSWoodward Table to Geodatabase or Append

@JesseCloutier Thanks for the write-up, Jesse. I liked these parts: Visitors to @Bud’s profile will be suitably floored by the over 3,200 lifetime posts in Esri Community attributed to him. It may come as no big surprise, then, that he received 727 kudos from others during 2024—more than any other of this year’s contest winners. This guy is freaking relentless. 🙂

Esri Case #03793532 - Join to database view is one-to-first instead of one-to-many From Support: We are in the process of collecting a few logs that need to be submitted with the bug, I will keep you posted when it's logged. Also while testing we have found a potential workaround for this issue: If you navigate the view using the Browse option > even the unregistered view will create one to many join.

ArcGIS Pro 2.9.5; Oracle 18c 10.7.1 enterprise geodatabase I have a ROADS line FC and an EVENTS standalone table. The relationship of the underlying data is one-to-many: one road to many events. No relationship class. Both registered with the geodatabase. If I use the Add Join tool to create a join from ROADS to EVENTS, the join’s relationship will be one-to-many. That works as expected. However, if I create a database view (not registered with the geodatabase) on EVENTS called EVENTS_VW [SELECT * FROM EVENTS], and join from ROADS to EVENTS_VW, then the relationship of the join is one-to-first, not one-to-many. That’s not expected. The Add Join documentation says the data needs to have OBJECTIDs and needs to be located in the same workspace (same geodatabase) in order for a one-to-many join to be automatically created. The database view meets those requirements. So why does the view behave differently from the standalone table? (I don’t want to register the view with the geodatabase because that makes it too difficult to make changes to the view in the future. I’d need to delete the view, recreate the view, reregister the view with the GDB, and re-do all the database privileges. That’s not a good use of time.)

If/when Esri implements this, there are other attribute filters that could be incorporated into the "Definition Query indicator in Contents Pane": https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/definition-query-icon-in-table-of-contents/idc-p/1385470/highlight/true#M28632

@EdiePunt What if the checkboxes (unused) were only visible if the user hovers over a layer's symbology in the Contents. The user could click a checkbook while the checkboxes are visible. If at least one checkbox is checked, then the checkboxes would always be visible.

Idea: Select By Attributes/Location — Add a "Clear Selection" button

‎01-10-2025

ArcGIS Pro 2.9.5 I'm wondering if it would help to have a Clear Selection button in the Select By Attributes and Select By Location windows. I'm aware there is a Clear button in the Map ribbon tab; that tab might not be open when using the Select tools. I'm also aware that there is a Clear button in the Attribute Table; the Attribute Table might no longer be open when using the Select tools. Regardless, I think it would be more intuitive to have a clear button in the Select windows, since that's where the selection is being performed. Also, we have established that hitting Apply when there are no selection expressions selects all rows instead of clearing the selection. No SQL expressions in Select By Attributes — Don't select all rows when I hit apply. Since a "blank Apply" can't be used to clear the selection, a Clear button might be a good alternative.

ArcGIS Pro 2.9.5; color JPEG I had a scenario where I forgot to populate the Raster parameter picklist: So I got a "Failed to apply Grayscale" error. After some fumbling around, I see now that the error message in the History pane lists the cause of the problem: I'm wondering if the full error message could be displayed in the Raster Function pane, where I hit "Create new layer". Otherwise, the "Failed to apply Grayscale" error is too generic to be useful. I'm a novice when it comes to rasters, so let me know if I missed something.

Idea: Raster Symbology — Automatically convert color raster to grayscale to support Classify primary symbology

‎01-02-2025

ArcGIS Pro 2.9.5; color JPEG Scenario: Click a raster layer in the Contents pane > Symbology pane > Primary symbology > Classify As far as I can tell, Classify will only be available in the picklist if the raster layer is grayscale, not color. It's possible to create a dynamic raster grayscale layer using Raster Functions. But that's a multi-step process. As a novice, it would be great if the Symbology pane could automatically convert the raster to grayscale and therefore support the Classify symbology method. Also, the documentation doesn't specify that Classify only works on grayscale. Could the docs be enhanced to include this information? https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/imagery/symbology-pane.htm Related: Why is Primary Symbology > Classify unavailable for some images?

ArcGIS Pro 2.9.5; color JPG Background: Convert color image to grayscale: Failed to apply Grayscale I'm new to Raster Functions. I had an issue where I didn't realize I needed to specify the raster layer in the Raster picklist, so I was getting an error: "Failed to apply Grayscale". I see now that the error message in the History pane lists the cause of the problem: But I'm still wondering if it could be more intuitive. Populate the picklist automatically using the selected layer in the Contents pane? Make it more obvious that the Raster parameter is mandatory, such as a red asterisk like other GP tools? Or something better?

Esri Case #03802484 - ArcGIS Pro 3.4: Convert color image to grayscale - Error: Failed to apply Grayscale From the screenshot you provided, it appears that the input raster wasn’t specified when running the tool. Please specify the tif file as the input raster (as shown in the screenshot below) and try again.
