There are another couple of ideas that are similar to this (ArcGIS Pro: Add an Apply Button to Raster Symbology Panel, Auto-Apply for Symbology Changes) but not the same I think. It takes a lot of time when the map redraws after every change to the symbology - even when all I am changing is the label for the Table of Contents and nothing is changing in the map at all. It would be great if there was an Apply button (and an Auto Appy check box) on this view of the Symbology panel so you could make all your changes (labels, values and colours) before redrawing the map. (see picture in comment below)

Hi there, It's possible that the databases were the default ones. I didn't check that. I do have it set up to have a new geodatabase created for each project. I tried it the other way a while back (like years maybe) and for some reason I didn't like it. I might try it again. However all of this behaviour is problematic for enterprise systems anyway... We have multiple people using projects and they change things around, different default databases, different default folders and stuff just will not go away. We also have projects that are 'templates' - people take a copy of that project and then do their work in that. We change the 'template' remove a bunch of old connections, change some stuff around, they open their project they saved before the changes and those old connection files, folders etc. get recreated. I'm not exactly sure of the circumstances I can't get my head around why or when these are recreated but it's super annoying... And yes I can change it to use a particular database as the default all the time but I have to change that on 50+ peoples machines individually. And then they get a new machine or Arc has to be reinstalled for some reason and that all gets messed up again. I liked the way ArcMap did it - there was a scratch database buried on your C drive and when you created something and then couldn't find it you realised that you had to remember to actually put it somewhere proper. And ArcMap didn't go around creating a million folders and databases and toolboxes that you didn't need every time. Most of the time I like Pro... but *sigh* - sometimes I miss the old days... Pro makes a lot of extra work for the kitchen maids...

It would be great if ArcPro would stop recreating missing file geodatabases. I deliberately renamed a file geodatabase (actually a few) and I did this in File Explorer - 'cos it's faster. Then when I reopened the project it breaks all my links (expected) but recreates an empty file geodatabase with the old name. This is not useful - if a geodatabase is missing it's generally because of a deliberate choice on the part of the user and recreating an empty geodatabase is just creating clutter that I have to remember to clean up. And if it's not a deliberate choice - if some one has accidentally moved or deleted the geodatabase - what is the point of recreating an empty one? The data is still missing. Can we have this behavior stopped - or perhaps there is a way of stopping it already? If so - could we have this as the default. I have users unknowingly making empty geodatabases all over the show and it's becoming a problem. Thanks heaps.

I'm not sure if this is the same thing or not but I would really like a way to control the order that features are drawn within the same layer but I would like it based on an attribute so for instance I could use the area field to make sure smaller polygons are drawn on top of larger polygons. It could be another option in the Symbology pane in the same vein as the options to 'Vary symbology by attribute' options.

It would be preferable if it was an option to include ESRI content at install rather than have it forced on us by default. Being in New Zealand, I can't imagine a time when we will use navigation maps for Germany or Canada or Lesotho or any of the other 189-ish countries of the world. Actually I'm pretty sure we won't use the navigation map for New Zealand either. And now that the nav maps and the other ESRI apps are annoyingly there, we want to delete them, not just hide them.... Please can we have this sorted for future installs but also a way to clean this up for current installs.

In case anyone else has this question - although there's been radio silence for the last 7 months so probably not.... Here is my solution. There is probably a better way... Currently I have to have my script work in both ArcPro 2.3.3 and ArcPro 2.4.3. I couldn't quickly work out how to get the version of ArcPro in python so I decided to check the result of lyr.dataSource instead.... layers = activeMap.listLayers() for lyr in layers: if lyr.isBasemapLayer == False and lyr.isGroupLayer == False: if lyr.dataSource.split(',')[0].split('=')[0] == "Server": dataset = lyr.dataSource.split(',')[-1].split('=')[1] else: dataset = lyr.dataSource Bit of a rigmarole when it was working perfectly fine before but at least I have something going now!

Hey there Kory, No I didn't have any maps open that were using the domains. I basically was just doing everything in the catalog pane and then opening the domain view by right clicking on the database connection. No maps even in the project. I'm working with an enterprise geodatabase rather than a file geodatabase just in case that matters. It's weird that it doing it slightly different for you...

My process is this: Domain To Table (from a 10.2.2 enterprise geodatabase) In ArcPro - Domains view already open Table to Domain (to a 10.7.1 enterprise geodatabase) Doesn't show up in Domain view Close and open Domain view - still not showing Close Domain view, refresh database connection, open Domain view - not showing Close Domain view, remove database connection from project, Add database connection to project from favourites, open Domain View - not showing. Alternatively: Same as above except I didn't open the Domain view before running the Table to Domain tool Open Domain view - not showing. Tried opening the Domain view by opening an attribute table first and getting to the Domain view from the ribbon - not showing. The only way I can get the new domains is to close ArcPro and open it up again. Hope this helps. P.S - I'm doing all this in a unsaved project. When I'm doing this sort of thing I don't want to save it as a project. Not sure if that makes a difference?
