Looks like a decent chunk of legend properties are exposed through CIM access. Here's a quick example for setting the legend's title to 22pts: prj = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("CURRENT") layout = prj.listLayouts()[0] legend = layout.listElements('LEGEND_ELEMENT')[0] cim = legend.getDefinition('V3') cim.titleSymbol.symbol.height = 22 legend.setDefinition(cim) No gaurentee you can adjust every single component of the legend but it can't hurt to look. ...

If you make good use of the script tool parameter types this can be an efficient script tool. I've attached a tool with no code to execute but the parameters and validation already done, this illustrates how you can quickly gather a bunch of code ranges and their associated descriptions, for both new and existing domains. ...

I assume the search runs once and then caches the results to avoid performance issues. Two things you can try: Add the "time" parameter to your URL to attempt to pull the latest data. This is how it works for the pulldata function but search might not work with this trick. Try another calculation mode. No guarantees any of this will work as search might go through a different bit of code than calculations do. ... View more

Assuming you don't care about extra PCI lanes, ECC memory etc. a high-end core series is usually better than any workstation class Xeon in Pro due to the inevitable single thread bottlenecks. That said, these 2 tools might actually use threads efficiently so it's hard to tell without proper benchmarking. If you have the budget and time then build both, run your standard workflows on both and refund whatever loses. You should also consider AMD's standard chips over Intel, the high-end Core chips have a bad habit of destroying themselves and the X3D chips obliterate anything that's memory bottlenecked (i.e. almost everything your computer does). ...

Getting addresses from a location requires a trip to a geocoder so it doesn't fit into what dynamic text covers. You'll have to load all your locations into a point feature class, reverse geocode it, then display that on the map or copy the results to whatever drives your map series ... View more

Calculations between two dates either work using "epoch time" in microseconds or "decimal time" which are whole days with hours, minutes etc. stored in the decimal. This part of the docs explains how to convert between the two and provides examples for doing calculations in both styles. ... View more

That looks like it's applying the "<pre>" tag which forces block display for that text. I'm thinking something that can be done inline, which I can't mock up due to HTML styling restrictions. ... View more

When you add the feature service you published back into Pro, are you able to select related records, add them to popups etc. etc.? If so you might want to post a screenshot or mockup of what you're trying to accomplish, you might be using the wrong tool here. ... View more

Those starting and ending messages are consistent with what appears in my environment. The message level appears to ignore those 2 leading messages and you always get 2 ending errors so I think you've hit the limit. Luckily the only internal info being leaked is the tool name so if you're able to instruct your users to ignore the other messages then you're good. ... View more

The only reliable way to relate data in ArcGIS is with Relationship Classes, which requires referenced data published from a registered EGDB or a hosted layer created from any geodatabase. Add all the layers/tables that participate in the relationship to your map when you publish a service and you'll see relationship info once you add the service into a map. ... View more

Geometry updates absolutely count as updates, my org has dozens of rules that rely on this. Post your rule here and maybe the issue will pop out. ... View more

How uncaught exceptions are handled is at the discretion of whatever's running Python, which in this case is the Web Tool infrastructure, so you're limited in how you can format your errors. A long shot might be the sys.tracebacklimit global, this SO post implies it might be able to cut down on what ArcGIS can report on. ... View more

My understanding is the "ExifInfo" field is only used by Survey123 to make grabbing EXIF data faster. You'll have to do this the old-fashioned way: call download, then open the file with a library that can read the EXIF data. I'm pretty sure Pillow is a standard module with Pro so you can do something like this to get the data. ... View more
