I have an ArcGIS Pro project with a layer of data I wish to publish as a web service. I have configured the symbology such that it uses a 'Unique Values' style which lists all the combinations of 2 attributes I have identified.  When I publish the data as a web service and interrogate the data, I note that the values of the first attribute are altered such that they display the unique values of "Attribute 1, Attribute 2" instead of simply the "Attribute 1" value only. If I export this service to a FGDB and download it, the underlying data is not affected in this manner. It is simply in how the web service displays the attributes. Is this a bug, or something I have done wrong? I've tested publishing in both ArcGIS Pro and ArcMap with the same result. ... View more

Hi everyone, I want to create a label expression which identifies if a string attribute contains a portion of text. If it does, return the value of that text. e.g. In my head the logic must be something like... If $feature.attribute Contains "text" Return "text" I'm sure its an easy answer, but I'm struggling to figure it out. Any help appreciated! ... View more

Hi all, I have published a hosted feature service. When I click on the 'Data' tab for this service, the order of attributes in this list appears in the same order as the native data.  When I click on the 'Visualization' tab and query a feature, the order of attributes in this list appears in the same order as the native data.  When I open the hosted service in Map Viewer and query a feature, the order of attributes in this list appears in the same order as the native data.  When I open the hosted service in Scene Viewer and query a feature, the order of attributes in this list does not appear in the same order as the native data.   The pop-up list returns my attributes in alphabetical order. How might I configure my pop-ups to appear in my preferred order within a web scene? When I check the Pop-ups in the 'Visualization' tab, the order of the attributes is in my preferred order. When I click 'configure attributes', the order of attributes is as I want them to appear. They just don't appear in this order within the web scene for some reason... ... View more

Hi all, I have a map document containing a customized layer file. I wish to publish this layer/map document as a service through my Portal. I have done a lot of customization to the layer file, including applying aliases and reordering the fields so when the user queries a feature, they are presented with the most important attributes at the top of the list. When I publish this layer/map document as a service and query a feature in a web map, I notice that the order of attributes reverts to the original order of attributes. Is there a way to overcome this issue? ... View more

Hello all, In my organisation we have historically created custom transformations (.gtf) that carry 7 parameter shift values between GDA94 (EPSG:4283) and WGS84 (EPSG:4326). We constructed these in ArcMap 10.3 and have recently upgraded to 10.7. We have noticed a few differences between 10.3 and 10.7, such that: Copying the .gtf files created in 10.3 and inserting them into the Custom Transformation folder in 10.7 results in Error 000365 when attempting to run the 'Project' tool. The way the .gtf file is created appears to be different between ArcGIS versions. Interestingly, the input and output coordinate systems are listed in opposite order when the 2 .gtf files (10.3 v 10.7) are compared. When copying and pasting the parameter values from the 10.3 .gtf file to a new custom transformation in 10.7, you would expect to see the shift occur in the same direction as occurs in 10.3. Instead, it seems the data shift is in fact in the inverse direction, which is obviously of concern. Can anyone explain if the way custom transformations are constructed has changed between 10.3 and 10.7, and why we are experiencing inverted shifts between GDA94 and WGS84? ... View more

It would be really handy to have a tool which can turn a points feature class into a geodesic line feature class. I understand this is conditional on the XSTART, YSTART, XEND, YEND attributes being present. Sometimes these attributes are not initially provided, but can be calculated through (my) convoluted method described here.  Feasibly, a tool could be created to calculate these attributes based on some user input parameters, e.g. the sequencing order of the line, and where to break or close the lines. ...

Is it possible to create a model that searches through an input folder to locate shapefiles meeting a specific criteria, then output the result? How might this be best achieved? ... View more

I am using ArcGIS Desktop 10.7.1 and am encountering problems when I attempt to use custom geographic transformations. I have a set of custom geographic transformation files (.gtf) which previously worked under ArcGIS 10.3.1. These .gtf files were located under C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.3\ArcToolbox\CustomTransformations. I migrated the same files to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.7\ArcToolbox\CustomTransformations. Whilst the transformations appear in the relevant dropdown list in the 'Project' geoprocessing tool, when I go to select a custom transformation I receive the following error: I thought maybe the way 10.7.1 constructs the .gtf file might be different, so I constructed a new custom transformation within 10.7.1 from scratch, but alas I still have the same difficulties. Is this a known bug in 10.7.1, or am I doing something wrong? ... View more
