Create Feature Class Wizard — Default fields for all new feature classes

Bud

When creating new feature classes using the Create Feature Class Wizard, I want to add standard fields 99% of the time.

ASSET_ID (text 25)
ASSET_STATUS (text 25)
OWNERSHIP (text 25)
LABEL (text 255)
Editor Tracking

I'm wondering if an optional setting could be added to always add those fields by default in the wizard.

like it does when you use the tool?

Template Datasets
(Optional)
An existing dataset or a list of datasets used as templates to define the attribute fields of the new feature class.

Thanks for this Idea @Bud. While it is correct that there is no default field configuration for the wizard, as @DanPatterson has mentioned, this type of functionality is accessible by importing a template dataset. On the fields tab of the feature class wizard, simply select the import option and import the schema from a template class. Setting these template classes as favorites will make them accessible in a consistent location from the wizard's import dialog.

Since it seems that your workflow has you repeatedly creating the same class, I'd recommend exploring the option of creating a simple python tool that would allow you to do this in far fewer clicks than you could with the feature class wizard.

Importing a template table with preconfigured fields using the import option in the create feature class wizard is the supported workflow to achieve this desired result.

An environment setting for this functionality is too broad for the use case and will not be implemented.
