There are two specific feature layers that I need to copy a polygon from one and paste to another one by using Special Paste sometimes.
Everything was working fine until I upgraded to ArcPro 3.3.
When I copy the polygon and click Special Paste, I receive this error: "There are no appropriate template."

I was able to use Paste Special for the same feature classes in Pro version 2.7. I still can do that in ArcMap. Is there any new rules for using Paste Special tool in Pro version3.3? Or is it a bug?

Okay - thx!  By chance is one of the layers a selection layer created from the "Selection->Make layer from selected features" right-click contenxt menu?  This would case an error out certainly!

I did two things to make the Select Special work. First, as you recommended, I created a layer from the selected feature. Then, I selected the feature from the new layer on the map (not the attribute table) and pasted it on the target layer without error.
I used to select the features from the attribute table and then paste them in the target layer. Apparently, the new version of ArcPro requires that the feature be selected on the map.

Thanks for your help.

Aghyan - question for you.  Is that data in an Enterprise Geodatabase or a File Geodatabase?
