I agree wholeheartedly with this very old post. Even in ArcGIS Pro there needs to be a way to check if there are any changes to a version without needing to add every single layer in the database to a map every time. If there is another way to do this, I haven't been able to find it. ... View more

Having a similar issue. Map works great in desktop and tablet but on a phone the features do not show up at most zoom levels. Seems to be related to when a feature is selected for me. Layers work ok when first opening the app, but once a feature is selected they all disappear. ... View more

I agree with all of this! Would be extremely helpful to be able to have custom names for Favorites especially when a lot of folder paths end with a folder called "GIS"! ... View more

Is this not an every day process for Public Works and other places that do inspections? Why does it still take more than 3 clicks to set this up? I just want to symbolize my web map by how long the last inspection was from the related table, but I need to write long SQL queries and publish SQL views or set up code that runs every 60 seconds to update a value in a field? Am I missing something? How do folks who don't know any coding do this? ... View more

I agree it would be very helpful for a drag and drop reordering for scenarios where you want almost all of a long list ordered alphabetically, but would like a single value at the top/bottom (list of street names with off-road or N/A at the top). ... View more

Is there any way to view tile layers in AutoCAD if you don't have an Image for ArcGIS Online license? We are having a similar issue where entering the service URL gives an error "tile-only layers not supported". Could we add the mosaic dataset directly or something like that to get around it? ...

It would extremely useful to be able to do page queries on fields other than the one used for the page name.   For example, our voting precincts have a field for the name of the polling location. We would like to display the building used for polling in the current district page as a different color. In order to do this currently, we would need to add a "precinct" field to our buildings. If we could do a page query on the buildings layer "name" field but point it at the "polling location" field in the precincts we wouldn't need to add any fields. ... View more

Did you ever figure out how this is supposed to work? Solutions are meaningless to me if I can't use my existing data, and transferring data back and forth between AGOL and SDE seems quite tedious. If there is a help page or something that talks about that I'd love to read through it. ... View more

This is the first time I'm hearing that ArcGIS Pro might recreate a database I've moved or deleted leaving me (or worse, someone else less familiar with the project file) with no idea there are now duplicate databases, one with incomplete or missing data. The thought of this horrifies me and I can't think of a situation where I wouldn't want to be notified something was broken (either with the trusty red exclamation mark or a popup message of some sort). It never even occurred to me that this would be an option someone would implement in a system where knowing exactly which data you are using is vitally important. ... View more

I have a similar need for some tools that list all feature classes in a database. For example, when running the Rebuild Indexes tool I check off all the feature classes in the database, but if a feature class is added or deleted it does not appear in the list until you delete the connection and reconnect it. Same for versions list in the Reconcile and Post tools. ... View more

Many tools used to have the Output Location as a separate input, like you mentioned, which was very handy to be able to change it for all tools at once. Now that it is part of the Output Table field, I don't see a way to change the location for all my tools without having to go to each one of them individually. Is there a different way to do this now? ... View more

I am also having this issue. I embeded a Dashboard in an ArcGIS Experience and the basemaps show our organization's correctly when viewing the Dashboard but show the generic Esri basemaps when viewing the Experience. ... View more

Having a similar issue in version 3.2.1, where in the middle of editing layers in a map that is was working fine for hours, randomly all the data connections say they are broken. Closing and opening the map again fixes the issue but it is infuriating. ... View more

We purchased beefier computers with graphics cards specifically for the inevitable switch to Pro but almost everything is slower than in ArcMap. Even basic editing of features has a loading wheel after every click. The maddening creation of extra folders and files when saving a project even when backups/indexing/etc. is turned off. Numerous other things that just don't seem to work or are missing such as auto-size text boxes for layouts or adding additional file types to catalog view. ... View more
