Anonymous User

The documentation has a field where you can list the name of your shape, the field, and other variables, but does not give examples of multiple features. The standalone tool supports multiple features.

I have tried to create a value table with the following code, but it does not seem to take it as a valid parameter:

This GeoNet thread is the closest I have found for a solution, but it does not appear to let the user set the Height field or the Type field as a script/tool parameter.
