One could use that tool and define the new field from there. Should this geoprocessing tool be able to be run a new field would be added to the attribute table.</P> Thu, 29 Jun 2023 14:20:39 GMT IJones 2023-06-29T14:20:39Z 'Add Field' button results in error message due to disabled windows touchpad service https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/add-field-button-results-in-error-message-due-to/m-p/1303387#M70601 <P>Hello,&nbsp;</P><P>I am using ArcGIS Pro. When clicking onto the 'Add Field' button upon opening the attributes table, the message 'An error was encountered loading files' appears. This steams from the 'Touch keyboard and handwriting panel service' being disabled. I am a postgrad using the University's computers. When contacting my university's IT services, they said that they are unable to enable the service due to it being enabled on all university computers. Is there away to get around this allowing me to add a field without the use of the windows service.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Cheers</P> Tue, 27 Jun 2023 14:18:14 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/add-field-button-results-in-error-message-due-to/m-p/1303387#M70601 MaryMorris09 2023-06-27T14:18:14Z Re: 'Add Field' button results in error message due to disabled windows touchpad service https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/add-field-button-results-in-error-message-due-to/m-p/1304467#M70715 <P>Hello,</P><P>If you are unable to use the `Add` button from the attribute table to create a new field a possible work around could be to run a Geoprocessing Tool that creates fields. `Calculate Field` comes to mind.
