When new features are created in GIS to represent future facilities, they are introduced to the Utility Network with "Approved" lifecycle status value. This status distinguishes these features from the rest of the network as they are not yet in service or possibly not even constructed. This is an important stage of the construction process and these new features should be available to edit, analyze and map along with all of the other features. Their inclusion is presenting us a problem building our subnetworks in a way that allows us to include/exclude approved features. Adding approved features as a condition barrier, then connecting approved to active lines will prevent traversability when trying to build the subnetwork. If we don't include approved as a condition barrier they are returned in subnetwork tracing.  This makes the result incorrect since the new approved features should not affect the network until the features are active in the field and provided an "In Service" status in our GIS. Our idea is to allow the network to IGNORE features of a designated condition (lifecycle state = "Approved") and let the remainder of the utility network to function as if they do not yet exist. ...

In ArcGIS Pro 2.8.1 we are trying to create a replica using arcpy.management.CreateReplica(). The replica is present in both database and arcpy.management.SynchronizeChanges() completes without error. The edits applied to each database is not making across the replica sync into the other database. We have reviewed the prepare-data-for-replication.htm page for possible clues as to what might be going wrong but have yet to find the culprit. Questions: Is the difference in database geometry type (SDO_GEOMETRY in Oracle vs ST_GEOMETRY in PostgreSQL ) causing the replica to ignore/discard data edits? What other gotchas could be hiding in our schema/data that would cause an ArcPro replica to appear normal but fail to pass edits between databases? Thanks, G ... View more

By all documentation that I can find ArcPro should refresh the data in a map after running a custom geoprocessing tool. This has not been my experience so far. I have tried to make this tool several different ways. The edit completes successfully, but does not show in the map unless I refresh the map view in the versioning tools. Some think that the automatic refresh will be triggered if the tool has a derived output. Others have said that it will be triggered after the arcpy.da.Editor operation is closed as long as we are working in the "CURRENT" but not sure what that means in determining a workspace. The example below incorporated all of the documented recommendations without success. All we want is a simple tool that updates a select number of attributes on an existing layer and saves them inside of the current version (shown in the map without additional action by user). Any recommendations appreciated. Built with ArcPro 2.6.2 using the New Script wizard with a single input param and a single derived output param: # Import system modules import arcpy # Set the parameters InputIDF = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) #Process: Start Edit prev_workspace = arcpy.env.workspace arcpy.env.workspace = arcpy.Describe('GPS').Path edit = arcpy.da.Editor(arcpy.env.workspace) edit.startEditing(False,True) edit.startOperation() arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management('GPS', 'CLEAR_SELECTION') with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor('GPS',['IDFEATURE','QAPNTUSE'],'IDFEATURE={}'.format(InputIDF)) as cursor: for row in cursor: row[0] = None row[1] = 5 cursor.updateRow(row) del cursor # Cleanup edit.stopOperation() edit.stopEditing(True) arcpy.ClearWorkspaceCache_management() arcpy.env.workspace = prev_workspace # Set layer as output param p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("CURRENT") m = p.listMaps()[0] l = m.listLayers('GPS')[0] arcpy.SetParameter(1, l)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

We would find it much easier to use the Assignee filter list if it was ordered by worker lastname. Currently it appears to be ordered by objectid (order the user was added to project). ... View more

HeyJames Tedrick‌ and Ismael Chivite‌, We recently changed some of our fields to the autocomplete appearance, and we found something we would like you to take a look at. We are running latest version (2.3.29) on iOS. The issue we have is exposed when the value being passed to the form via url scheme is not in the field's choice_list. We run into this because we can't keep up with changes to the contractor list with how we are currently manually publishing the choice_lists with the form (would love to see a way to refresh form's choice_lists via rest or other API but that's a different discussion). Example - The field (CONTRACTOR_ID) that we changed to autocomplete was previously a select_one with minimal appearance. When it received a value not in the choice_list the value was displayed with a strike-through font and the user was left to select another value from the drop-down. Now with autocomplete appearance the value is not shown (field is blank) and their are no values in the drop-down list. The user must enter some value in the field before the drop-down is refreshed to apply the filter. URL: arcgis-survey123://?itemID=7c034801569d4d50b844ee3375173383&field:INSPECTION_NO=695009&field:CONTRACTOR_ID=4831 Result: We would like you to consider either showing the value with strike-through in the box (which they will delete if they want to select something else from drop-down) which is similar to the minimal appearance, or keep the box blank and clear the filter on the drop-down so the user can select any/all of the values from the choice_list.   Thanks, Glen ...
