Hit up the Web Editor Ideas Page and add this as an idea, this seems like the sort of feature that the Web Editor team can easily add to the app. ... View more

This is a common issue for my org when we have to tweak long-running services. We have to assess which services touch the required datasets, stop them, make the updates and start them back up, only to then interrupt the services again for republishing jobs; it's a bit much at times. Disabling the schema lock on the services causes more problems than it solves as it's trivial to create fatal differences between the new schema and the old service definition. Leigh's idea of a one-click option to enable DDL operations would save a ton of headaches as we could flip the switch, make our changes and then republish the services (if needed) with minimal interruptions before flipping it back. Making this an official ArcGIS thing that the server can inspect and make adjustments for is far more elegant than relying on service stoppages or arbitrary lock breaking. ... View more

You can try using an array of objects for your statistics, that way you can include the iconPath field. But I don't know if there's a statistics mode that will work for strings. An alternative is to use Distinct to get a list of unique iconPaths with the corresponding RecType, then you can turn that into a dictionary and grab the iconPath as you build the final table. ...

This is a longstanding design quirk of ArcGIS workflows: if your data is too heavily normalized there's rarely a good way for users to edit it without diving in and out of endless popup chains. The best workaround my org's found is to store assets as a single feature class per type (or use subtypes if you have a bunch of similar types) then use Arcade expressions in the feature pop-ups to generate links to Survey123 which wrap around the other tables. By passing a unique ID for the asset (the GlobalID is a good choice) through the URL the new survey now has a link back to the asset. You can then let users work with a reasonably normalized table set by using repeats in the survey. Glue everything together with relationship classes and you've got something! You do have to train users to jump between both apps, there'll be some limitations viewing new data if they're offline, and you might still have limitations viewing attachments in Field Maps but it's about as good as you'll get for field work. If your org has some money burning a hole in their pocket you can use the JavaScript SDK to build custom web apps that can handle fancier data structures but if you want the built-in stuff you'll hit these limits often. ...

Another way to chain two scripts together is to write two script tools, then chain them together in Modelbuilder. ArcGIS does some checks and cleanup between tools so that might be enough to fix your bug. ... View more

Joins can't transform the data during the join process so you'll have to create another field on one side of the join and then populate it with the right format. ... View more

Is this different from what Jackson did in their listing? ... View more

I tried your code with a cut down expression in 3.4 and it worked on my test data. Try a simpler expression and then slowly build it up until you find the subexpression that breaks it. ... View more

I think your listing missed the line where you grab the child's parent, but either way: that error is a sign that you have a parent to child update going on — either from an attribute rule on the parent or a composite relationship class — that retriggers the child, which retriggers the parent, and so on. Check what you have going on in the parent and look for potential loops. In some cases you can fix this by comparing fields in the $feature with matching fields in the $originalfeature and returning early if there were no changes. ... View more

The GlobalID column technically sorts correctly, the issue is the byte ordering of the raw GUID data vs. the standard presentation. If I use data stored in a SQL Server EGDB it's sorted per the SQL Server uniqueidentifier type as described in this blog post, which is why it doesn't appear sorted. I couldn't tell you if every EGDB host has their own behavior or if ArcGIS in forcing everything to sort like uniqueidentifier but there is a method to the madness. ... View more

Ah sorry, I reread your question and the issue is with the labelled points themselves. The solution to this question has a clunky workaround where you buffer the points and then label the polygons instead, but below that there's a bunch of things you can try that are done at render time, maybe one of those work. ...

In Pro 3.4 I was able to build a callout label with a point symbol as shown in the image below. Adjusting the "Gap" put some distance between the image marker point symbol and the leader line. "Leader tolerance" is used to remove the leader lines unless the distance between the feature's label centroid and the label symbol exceeds the tolerance.   ... View more

If you want a full rebuild: Delete Features followed by Append. If you want a less violent update you can either do some Pro upgrades and check out the new "Matching Fields for Update" parameter, or dive into arcpy to write your own update tool. ... View more

The only geoprocessing tool that's ever given me trouble with the memory workspace was Project and that might've been fixed over the years. In general, if the tool doesn't operate on a whole workspace, a feature dataset, or anything that has to reside in a feature dataset then it'll work with the memory workspace. Don't use "in_memory" unless you still need ArcMap compatibility. ... View more
