At the moment, I only get to specify 29 characters for a field name when using ArcGIS Pro 2.4.1 with an enterprise geodatabase in SQL Server 2016.  When I try to enter the 30th character, the input field stops receiving and reflecting the character I typed.  I tried copy/pasting the field name string, but ArcGIS Pro would not acknowledge that I had entered anything.  Seems inadequate when it is said in the documentation that ArcGIS Pro supports 31 character field names in SQL Server and 64 character field names in file geodatabases.

Maybe some magic like this:   https://services2.arcgis.com/WW3T8U6q5EkZ9U3n/arcgis/rest/services/GDL_DSHS_Nursing_Home/FeatureServer/0/query?outFields=*&where=1%3D1&f=topojson   https://geo.wa.gov/datasets/WADSHS::dshs-nursing-homes Specifically, I want to deliver confidential data with special handling requirements (e.g. HIPAA) from my ArcGIS Enterprise deployment directly to Power BI users within our internal, secured environment.  The Power BI "Preview feature" "Shape map visual" supports TopoJSON (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/desktop-shape-map).  The Power BI team's suggested data conversion solution is a no-go for our confidential data and causes a lot of work and re-work by staff. I'm aware that the ArcGIS Maps for Microsoft Power BI product takes my map visualizations to the next level, but it looks like I need to go higher than that. https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-maps-for-power-bi/overview https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/power-bi-visualization-arcgis Tim ...

ArcGIS Pro contextual help notes that "Tools that honor Output CONFIG Keyword environment will use the specified keyword when creating datasets in a geodatabase." My idea is that "Tools that honor Output CONFIG Keyword environment can provide the user with a drop-down list of keywords that are available in the target geodatabase." Example:  Geoprocessing > Copy > Environments > Output CONFIG keyword > blank field with no dropdown list. Available keywords in my example target geodatabase are: DATA_DICTIONARY DEFAULTS GEOGRAPHY GEOMETRY IMS_GAZETTEER LOGFILE_DEFAULTS NETWORK_DEFAULTS NETWORK_DEFAULTS::DESC NETWORK_DEFAULTS::NETWORK NETWORK_GEOGRAPHY NETWORK_GEOGRAPHY::DESC NETWORK_GEOGRAPHY::NETWORK NETWORK_GEOMETRY NETWORK_GEOMETRY::DESC NETWORK_GEOMETRY::NETWORK NETWORK_SDEBINARY NETWORK_SDEBINARY::DESC NETWORK_SDEBINARY::NETWORK SDEBINARY TERRAIN_DEFAULTS TERRAIN_DEFAULTS::EMBEDDED TERRAIN_GEOGRAPHY TERRAIN_GEOGRAPHY::EMBEDDED TERRAIN_GEOMETRY TERRAIN_GEOMETRY::EMBEDDED TERRAIN_SDEBINARY TERRAIN_SDEBINARY::EMBEDDED TOPOLOGY_DEFAULTS TOPOLOGY_DEFAULTS::DIRTYAREAS TOPOLOGY_GEOGRAPHY TOPOLOGY_GEOGRAPHY::DIRTYAREAS TOPOLOGY_GEOMETRY TOPOLOGY_GEOMETRY::DIRTYAREAS TOPOLOGY_SDEBINARY TOPOLOGY_SDEBINARY::DIRTYAREAS ...
