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

Here here! Even turning off indexing and other functions do not stop the creation of these files. Being able to set a central location like the default toolbox would be very helpful to prevent clutter and easily access the results if you even need/want them! ... View more

Agreed that this has been badly needed for many years.  Also the current arrows must be the same color as the line and you can't control the size which makes them very hard to see in the best of cases. Arrows in the middle of the line where we can control size and color separately is necessary. ... View more

Same question. The text in a Rich Text widget does not scale while the text and numbers in an Indicator widget do. It would be nice if they would act the same way. ... View more

Same here, we would like to show just the year and value and not the whole date. ... View more

I am also interested in this. We would like to use the alternate name table to catch when lists contain route numbers instead of street names or common misspellings of road names. The problem is that when a record matches to something in the alternate table, it returns that incorrect name as the "matched address". ... View more

I created a hosted feature layer from scratch in our Portal on 10.7.1 and I am still getting "Can't use this feature layer due to an unknown error". It only has 4 text fields and 1 date field. I haven't set any symbology or anything on it. I also can't create a project using the templates as it gives me pretty much the same error. ... View more

Thank you @OwenGeo, my main goal is having an alternative to the classic Shortlist or Map Tour style apps since those seem to be going away. A simple, quick to set up web app that displays a list of features (with basic info like name and short description) that you can click on to pan around to them and get more details. These are great for displaying groups of projects/locations to citizens and letting them choose which one they are interested in based on either the list or the map. In the Moving to ArcGIS StoryMaps article, the Explorer Map Tour element of the new StoryMaps is listed as the way to migrate, it seems to work very similar, however having a cover sort of ruins this as an option if it is acting as a standalone app. It would help if you could add a little more context to the header bar similar to those older apps, but having the actual app be hidden upon visiting the URL would probably be confusing/annoying for some folks. Experience Builder seems great but it is a bit more complex to get up and running, especially if you need to go off-template. There seem to be a lot of "gallery" type templates across the various app builders but they all point to bookmarks or groups of maps/apps instead of being able to automatically list features from a layer. I could be missing something though since I haven't tried all of them! Attachment Viewer seems to fit pretty closely (I hadn't thought about those old apps being image focused but they sort of are). A bit more customization like numbering and labeling on the attachment images with corresponding label/number on the map points would be nice. Thank you! ... View more
