Sorry @lapriverside I'm not sure I understand your question. Could you elaborate more and explain what you are trying to do? Maybe send some screenshots of your workspace and data.
It looks like you're getting an Esri compatibility error, you may have to specify the Esri compatibility within your workspace instead of setting it to "Automatic" if you have multiple versions of ArcGIS/ArcMap installed on the same machine. For more resources on Esri compatibility see these resources:
