Combining Fields for a file name in python

RobertBorchert — Mon, 21 Jul 2025 19:07:35 GMT

I am exporting attachments from an Table with Attachments. I want to combine 2 fields from the base table for the folder name.

This is what I have. I have named the fields FileName1 and FileName2. I just cannot figure out how to combine them

Issues is the name of the origin Table

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import arcpy

def Model(): # Model

# To allow overwriting outputs change overwriteOutput option to True.
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = False

arcpy.ImportToolbox(r"c:\program files\arcgis\pro\Resources\ArcToolbox\toolboxes\Data Management Tools.tbx")
Issues = "Issues"
NRPExportTest = "\\\\gisfs01\\GIS_Cache$\\GISData\\RobertTemp\\NRPExportTest"
FileName1 = "ISSUENAME_W"
FileName2 = "WORKGROUP"
output_filename = f"{FileName1}"
# Process: Export Attachments (Export Attachments) (management)
Output_Directories = arcpy.management.ExportAttachments(in_dataset=Issues, out_location=NRPExportTest, subdirectory_field= output_filename)[0]

if __name__ == '__main__':
# Global Environment settings
with arcpy.EnvManager(scratchWorkspace="\\\\gisfs01\\GIS_Cache$\\PortalServices\\PGIS\\FieldMarkups\\FieldMarkups.gdb", workspace="\\\\gisfs01\\GIS_Cache$\\PortalServices\\PGIS\\FieldMarkups\\FieldMarkups.gdb"):
Model()

Or better yet for my purposes allow me to create a subfolder under ISSUENAME_W using WORKGROUP

Hey @RobertBorchert

You're pretty close from what I can see! Do something like this here:

def Model(): # Model # To allow overwriting outputs change overwriteOutput option to True. arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = False arcpy.ImportToolbox(r"c:\program files\arcgis\pro\Resources\ArcToolbox\toolboxes\Data Management Tools.tbx") Issues = "Issues" NRPExportTest = r"\\gisfs01\GIS_Cache$\GISData\RobertTemp\NRPExportTest" FileName1 = "ISSUENAME_W" FileName2 = "WORKGROUP" # Create the folder here: output_filename = f"{FileName1} + '/' + {FileName2}" # Process: Export Attachments (Export Attachments) (management) Output_Directories = arcpy.management.ExportAttachments( in_dataset=Issues, out_location=NRPExportTest, subdirectory_field=output_filename )[0] if __name__ == '__main__': # Global Environment settings with arcpy.EnvManager( scratchWorkspace=r"\\gisfs01\GIS_Cache$\PortalServices\PGIS\FieldMarkups\FieldMarkups.gdb", workspace=r"\\gisfs01\GIS_Cache$\PortalServices\PGIS\FieldMarkups\FieldMarkups.gdb" ): Model()

You should be able to create a function string to add the two filenames together!
