Arcpy.CreateReplica Doesn't Work

JordanMiller4

I am confused as to why the arcpy.CreateReplica doesn't work when my script gets a list of versioned layers and puts them into a variable to load into the function verses me hard coding versioned layer fields into the script and it working fine. Any ideas?

The problem might be that in_data should be a list and not a string. You could change line 13 to be:

in_data = []

Then line 27 would be

in_data.append(desc.name)

And then comment out line 30 since you'll no longer need to slice the string.
