However, i find that Pro runs a validation on every parameter you populate, which takes around 5-10 seconds. So to fill in every parameter can take a couple of minutes each time. This is becoming tedious beyond belief. BUT what makes it worse, is that if you try and fill in a parameter before the previous one has validated, it resets your input. So you can find yourself running a tool without fully populating the parameters by mistake.</P><P>Please tell me others have this same gripe, or have a workaround? My solution will be to convert to python, although im assuming the parameter validation will still occur?</P> Mon, 22 Nov 2021 17:03:33 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/arcgis-pro-model-with-many-parameters-takes/m-p/1119237#M48137 David_Brooks 2021-11-22T17:03:33Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/arcgis-pro-model-with-many-parameters-takes/m-p/1119253#M48143 <P>Hello,</P><P>Is there a reason you have to have them set with parameters?</P> Mon, 22 Nov 2021 17:52:59 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/arcgis-pro-model-with-many-parameters-takes/m-p/1119253#M48143 ABishop 2021-11-22T17:52:59Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/arcgis-pro-model-with-many-parameters-takes/m-p/1119369#M48169 <P>As the model worked properly in ArcMap and is being used in ArcGIS Pro, did you run the <A href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/data-management/analyzetoolsforpro.htm" target="_self">Analyze Tools for Pro</A> GP tool to see if there were any issues that would impact the model?&nbsp;&nbsp;</P> Mon, 22 Nov 2021 21:41:10 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/arcgis-pro-model-with-many-parameters-takes/m-p/1119369#M48169 Robert_LeClair 2021-11-22T21:41:10Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/arcgis-pro-model-with-many-parameters-takes/m-p/1119394#M48175 <P>converting to a tool in a toolbox, should help.&nbsp; The custom and python tools allow for parameter validation and setting defaults for tool parameters.&nbsp; My preference is for the custom python tools since the parameter validation can be kept separate from the actual functional code.&nbsp; The new *.aptx format will improve on this as it evolves</P> Mon, 22 Nov 2021 22:43:13 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/arcgis-pro-model-with-many-parameters-takes/m-p/1119394#M48175 DanPatterson 2021-11-22T22:43:13Z
