Being able to change the "Override" field in annotation, currently uneditable. I converted some labels that have a background, like a flag, to annotation and have arranged them just how I like.  I often will use the 'Substitute symbols in a collection' in order to make the label background to a different color to display the differences between features.  I noticed that some features have a different value for the 'Override' field and have determined that those with a higher value include the function to inhibit the background substitution, preventing me from changing the label backgrounds.  Not sure how that happened in the first place, but now I need to change that.   According to the documentation, this cannot be changed.  I have several hundred labels so I don't really want to recreate.  Additionally, I don't know why this affected some labels and not others.       https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/2.8/help/data/annotation/managing-annotation-feature-class-properties.htm ...

In Desktop, I used to be able to use the 'Select Elements' tool copy features from an annotation feature class and paste into an annotation group stored in the map.  This was super helpful since our base annotation layers though helpful, needed to be further arranged specifically for each map and therefore always needed to be copied into a mxd's annotation layer and arranged to meet the map's need.   I'm trying to replicate this process in Pro and I can't seem to find a way to do.  The only way to select a feature class annotation feature is to use the select features pointer.  There doesn't seem to be a select tool that will recognize both FC Annotation and graphic elements like desktop. Also, one of my colleagues noticed that when you import an mxd into a Pro map, the map annotation does not import. Please tell me I'm overlooking something really basic for creating an annotation stored in the map group!   ... View more
