Even though this was submitted for ArcMap, I think it still applies to Pro. There are fewer clicks required in Pro, but a OOTB keyboard shortcut or similar would still help. ... View more

Users often ask, "Why isn't my join working? All of the join table's fields are null in the attribute table." The problem is often that we've unknowingly joined from a text field to a number field.  Could Pro disallow joins using incompatible datatypes to avoid confusion? ... View more

As a last resort, you could consider running an SQL UPDATE query in the enterprise database. That wouldn't invoke editor tracking. You could use a scheduling mechanism in the database, such as Oracle Scheduler for Oracle or your database's equivalent. Or a Windows scheduled task on the GIS server running a Python script that utilizes ArcSDESQLExecute, etc.  I'm not a DBA, I'm just aware of some functionality in the database that's often overlooked. ...
