Additional Information

To use unique values with multiple fields in ArcMap, use a delimiter character that is not present in the values. In this case, change the delimiter to a character other than the default comma. Once the delimiter is set, the layer draws properly and can be successfully saved as a layer file or layer package that can be imported into ArcGIS Pro.

Workaround

  • Change the delimiter via the Advanced menu in ArcMap to a character combination not present in any of the attribute values associated with the fields being used.
  • Recreate the symbology in ArcGIS Pro.
