I need the scale to display if feet (1 in =200 ft) while I'm working yet its simply not a choice in the scale format.  There are vague references to loading custom scales but no reference to how those customizations might be formatted.  and why would "feet" need to be custom?

Projection is State Plane FEET

I am aware that I can type anything into the box however I need it to display feet, not mile, meters or kilometers.

I must be missing something here...  thanks

Here's the help page on scale bars in ArcGIS Pro. Does that help?

Not the scale bar.  the scale display in data view.  Feet is not an option in the scale format although it lets you type feet then reports it in miles or meters or kilometers,

As of 2.2, this appears to be functional, however, note that if I choose something like "1 Inch = 200 Feet", the "Feet" is truncated in the display, which is sort of a problem.
