Creating fields Attribute Table on ArcToolbox

Malebu — Wed, 02 Jun 2021 10:29:32 GMT

Good day

I am having multiple layers (features) and I trying to standardize their attribute table. I am currently looking for a process or script that one could use to design a stand-alone attribute table "fields" within the Arc Toolbox. Meaning this tool I can add to my model and create standard fields within the attribute table. Could you please assist

Regards

Tsamaelo

Thanks David.

Reading through the info on the link you've sent, it's only given me an option to add individual fields. Please see the example below of what I would like to create.

I don't know of an existing tool you can use to make it less verbose, however it's still pretty simple copy paste stuff. Something like

#your fc in_table = arcpy.GetParameter(0) #for each field field_name1 = arcpy.getParameterAsText(1) field_length1 = int(arcpy.getParameterAsText(2)) arcpy.management.AddField(in_table, field_name1, field_type, {field_precision}, {field_scale}, {field_length1}, {field_alias}, {field_is_nullable}, {field_is_required}, {field_domain}) field_name2 = arcpy.getParameterAsText(3) field_length2 = int(arcpy.getParameterAsText(4)) arcpy.management.AddField(in_table, field_name2, field_type, {field_precision}, {field_scale}, {field_length2}, {field_alias}, {field_is_nullable}, {field_is_required}, {field_domain})
