Put together a map that uses hexagon polygons to represent data across my study area. It would be nice if I could change the legend patch from the current trapezoid to a hexagon to better match the data. I set the option to use the hexagon patch in my Pro project but when I publish it to AGOL, it reverts back to the trapezoid that I seem to be stuck with.

I ask that element locking/unlocking functions available through the Production Mapping Extension be modifiable through python. I have the production mapping extension and certain map text elements are locked in the layout using the lock function from the Production Cartography tool. Once locked, however, those text elements can't be modified/updated using python. We're working with 100's of MXDs so the simple task of unlocking a layout element, modifying, and relocking it becomes burdensome when you have to do it across all these MXDs.

I ask that the locking/unlocking functions be made available to modify through python. I have the production mapping extension and certain map text elements are locked in the layout using the lock function from the Production Cartography tool. Once locked, however, those text elements can't be modified/updated using python. I thought I'd first try piggybacking my suggestion on this idea before creating its own.

I meant to promote this but accidentally did the opposite (curse your irreversible voting process). My boss just asked me to set set the display expressions for 20 files in 1000 mxds. I thought, "this will by easy with arcpy." Well, it would have been easy if you could do it in ArcPy. I hope there is a way to automate this, otherwise this supposedly simple task just ugly.
