Load saved script into multi-column field calculation

Bud — Wed, 26 Jul 2023 17:09:36 GMT

Regarding the Calculate Fields (multiple) geoprocessing tool:

I want to save a field calculator script. And then in the future, load the script into the Calculate Fields (multiple) tool for efficient multi-column field calculations. Similar to what I can do for single-column field calculations.

Could that functionality be added?

@Bud , it's not exactly what you're asking for but while your Idea gains traction...

If you run the GP tool with your desired configuration, you can then go to the geoprocessing history and drag the item into the python window. This should generate a python script of that whole operation you can rerun as you please.

@SSWoodward Thanks. I didn't know about that functionality.
