ArcGIS Pro 3.2.2; Oracle 18c 10.7.1 EGDB:


I would like to define default symbology for a given FC at the geodatabase level. Whenever a user adds the FC from Catalog to a map, it would use the default symbology from the GDB system tables.

For example, a Roads FC TYPE field:

  • Arterial red; width 3
  • Collector orange; width 2
  • Local black; width 1

Similar to what was accidentally done here, but easier (not via a geoprocessing tool): FC has symbology and labelling permanently stored in enterprise geodatabase?

Could that functionality be added?

In the screenshot below, adding the feature class automatically symbols and labels it! I'm unsure why or how this occurred
