Applies to	ArcGIS Pro
Version found	2.2.4
Operating System	Windows OS

Status	Will Not Be Addressed

Additional Information

This is user error. See http://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/create-web-apps/windows/tutorial-publish-additional-layouts-for-printing-with-arcgis-pro.htmGo down to this bullet:- If you want to insert a custom text element, add a text element and embed the element's name in a set of open and closed curly braces, such as {parcel-id}.Curly braces are only required when you are authoring customTextElments in Pro...but the webmap_json will still have them without those braces. I.e. the user's JSON is fine. They just need to edit the text element names in Pro to have the curly braces.(I sent this info to Kory Kramer so that he can pass on the info to the user or support analyst.)

Workaround

Use a for loop in the python script to iterate through each text element in the project layout and replace (overwrite) the text string for the element based on a condition.

result = arcpy.mp.ConvertWebMapToArcGISProject(WebMap_as_JSON, layoutTemplate)

layout = result.ArcGISProject.listLayouts()[0]

for elm in layout.listElements("TEXT_ELEMENT"):

if elm.name == "CentreName":

elm.text = "c3ntr3"

if elm.name == "FloorLevel":

elm.text = "fl00r"
