AssignmentType shows GUID rather than text Alias in ArcGIS Pro

@langdonms you need to be a dispatcher in the project in order to use the Workforce module in the Python API. You could add your admin user as a dispatcher to the project and then should be able to do everything.

Closing, feel free to re-open needed.

Also, for automation, does the https://developers.arcgis.com/python/api-reference/arcgis.apps.workforce.html work with V2 projects?

@langdonms This is because the assignment types are stored in a separate table and are not a coded value domain. This was an intentional decision to support assignment type changes when projects are offline and need to sync changes. There's no good way to resolve this in Pro unfortunately.

The referenced api does work but you need to use the 1.8.3 pre-release version of the ArcGIS API for Python which is backwards compatible with older projects. This can be installed using conda install -c esri/label/prerelease -c esri arcgis

Thanks for the quick reply and explanation @apulverizer I had hoped to do an append with field mapping to migrate & load new assignments but I'll take a closer look at the migrate script then. 👍

Follow-up Q:
Do you need to be the owner of the project to perform the scripts or can any admin account work? I say this bc my main account is authenticated through our G-Suite which might be a pain to use in the scripts while we have other automation accounts that are named user on AGOL. I'd prefer to keep myself as the owner of the projects for convenience but can change ownership if needed for the scripts to auth with a named user.
