I am importing symbology from B to layer A in Pro 2.3.1.  I have 13 label classes set up in layer A. After symbology has been imported, label classes in layer A are over-written as well.  I should be able to import symbology without affecting labels classes - if I wanted that behaviour I could use a layer file.  (the tools is named import symbology not import symbology and labels)  This worked fine in ArcMap. Similarly, i would like to see a tool that imports label classes from another layer.

Hi, in arcmap, importing symbology from a layer file or an other layer only change symbology.

Now, in Pro, not only symbology is imported but also the labeling rules.

My suggestion, ask for what to import in the process.  Symbology, label or who know what.

Thanks Kory, haven't find it.
