Pro 3.5 has improved parsing of Python scripts for swizzling data path strings. The f string pattern shown above will no longer raise an error. The folder variable will be updated by the consolidation swizzling, and the full contents of the c:\temp directory would be uploaded to the server during publishing of the web tool.&nbsp;</P> Tue, 11 Mar 2025 23:33:54 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/use-of-f-strings-in-gp-tools-share-as-webtool/idc-p/1594560#M34108 DrewFlater 2025-03-11T23:33:54Z
