Applying colour to portion of symbols in ArcPro

[ChelseaP]

Is there a way to apply a colour ramp to a sub-section of symbols in Pro like there is in ArcMap?

Here we have a boring old random color scheme for our unique values:

When we select some unique values and change the color scheme, the new scheme only applies to the selected categories:

But it's still random. To make it a ramp, we have to change the scheme:

That's very interesting. That's how I assumed it would work but it doesn't. When I select values the colour scheme changes for all the symbols. Maybe this is a bug?

Are you making sure to select the specific classes you want changed? Adjusting the colour scheme without specific classes selected will change all of them.

[ChelseaP]

Yeah, I'm selecting classes first then changing the colour scheme but it still changes all of them.

What version of Pro? It sounds like possibly Bug Territory, as @JohannesLindner 's steps work nicely over here (Pro 3.0.3).

[ChelseaP]

Hmm yeah might be. I'm 2.9.5

Chelsea - this is BUG-000116248 - the color range applied to a portion of symbols in ArcGIS Pro is not honored.  It was seen in ArcGIS Pro 2.x and fixed at ArcGIS Pro 3.0.  If you upgrade to ArcGIS Pro 3.x, then you'll be able to do your workflow as demonstrated by Johannes.
