When I click "Create webmap" in Hub from a data page, it opens a new web map with a default symbology where the user has to choose an attribute to symbolize. It seems to pick a field at random, and it happens to pick one with "counts and amounts". This seems overly complicated for an initial behavior. I would prefer that it symbolized by "location only" by default.

I have recently learned how to script my web layer updates using the arcpy.sharing module. This is great, as I can update my parcel data every morning. However, every time the script runs, the thumbnail on AGOL is replaced with a generic one. I have a thumbnail specified in the aprx map, but it gets overwritten unless I publish directly from Pro. Now that I am publishing my data in a data hub/open data site, this lack of a proper (custom) thumbnail matters. I don't want to have to reupload my thumbnail every day. I would like a property for getWebLayerSharingDraft to specify a thumbnail, as you can do with the summary and description. For my use case, the following idea would also work (the ability to create a default overlay for a thumbnail, with branding). Create default overlay for thumbnails

I can confirm that I see the Attribute Transfer tool in the Tools Gallery at 2.4 and you can transfer attributes between feature types. Thank you!

I think this is a great idea. It has a name that could be used in a dynamic text tag. Please implement.

That's the error I got when I tried to use a source that was not a hosted feature layer (it was a map image layer published from ArcGIS Server). It doesn't have an object $map because it's not the right kind of source.

I tried the same thing. It doesn't work with Map Image Layers. I haven't tried it with hosted Enterprise feature layers.

I was led astray by old documentation, I guess - not the first time. Thanks for the tip! I decided not to do the multiple results for other reasons, but here are my two pop-ups, consisting of two expressions drilling down from one polygon layer to another.

Thank you, Xander. I was able to use the negative buffer example you provided in your blog - very helpful! Also, I created an if... else to determine if more than one polygon was intersected and return different expressions. var buff = Buffer($feature,-10,'feet') var intersectsLayer = Intersects(FeatureSetByName($map,"Zoning"),buff) var intcount = Count(intersectsLayer) var expr = '' if(intcount>1) { expr = 'Multiple regulations apply. Contact appropriate Planning Department.' } else { for(var f in intersectsLayer){ var zone = f.ZONING expr = Proper(zone) } } return expr You could also return multiple values by iterating and adding to the expression before returning it, but the lack of a new line capability in AGOL makes this unworkable for me.

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you Kelly Gerrow!‌

I am very excited to see this listed: Attribute expressions now support referencing other layers in your map. When configuring pop-ups for a feature layer in your map, you can create Arcade expressions that reference other feature layers. You can also reference other layers when performing field calculations using Arcade. However, none of the links gives any explanation or examples for doing this. I'd like to reference another layer in a pop-up so that the user doesn't have to find and click the tiny arrow in the pop-up box. I am only an Arcade beginner, so I usually follow examples. I'm not finding anything. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Very helpful for a total Survey123 beginner. One question: in the above calculation if(selected(${violations},'10'),1,0), where do the values '10','20' etc. come from? Are they the index values for the choices? Are they set somewhere else? Thanks. ETA I found it in another blog post on multiple choice items. They are set in the list choices' "name" column.

@esri Any update on the roadmap for simple linear referencing tools? Also, please upvote this idea I found: Port "Identify Route Locations" and "Set From/To" Linear Referencing Tools from ArcGIS 10.x to ArcGIS Pro

Thank you, Dan! That is an... interesting thread. It seems to address my metadata question in the updated road map: "near-term", FWIW.

‎03-19-2018

I have a set of data management Python scripts that use the XSLTransform_conversion and MetadataImporter_conversion arcpy functions to strip unwanted metadata from the end product. When I ran the Analyze Tools for Pro tool on the scripts, these functions came back as unsupported. Can anyone (Esri?) speak to when these will be supported or if there is a way to accomplish the same task in Pro?

Thanks, Sean. Glad to know it is on the road map.
