Drop down field list in a pyt value table

Hi all,

I'm building a tool that uses a value table as it's input. What I'd like is to have a drop down list of fields to choose from for each input layer. I've seen a number of posts about this topic but all of them were processing just one input layer, I have yet to see someone do it for multiple inputs. I'm sure someone here has done it before

#import system modules

import arcpy
import traceback

#initialize tool

class Toolbox(object):
   def __init__(self):
   """Define the toolbox (the name of the toolbox is the name of the
   .pyt file)."""
      self.label = "ACLOSAN_Constraint_Layer_Tool"
      self.alias = "ACLOSAN_Constraint_Layer_Tool"

# List of tool classes associated with this toolbox
self.tools = [Tool]

class Tool(object):
   def __init__(self):
   """Define the tool (tool name is the name of the class)."""
      self.label = "ALCOSAN_Constraint_Tool"
      self.description = "The purpose of this tool is to process and union layers related to green infrastructure       development. The tool will process the data according to whether it is absolutely or relatively constrained."
      self.canRunInBackground = False

def getParameterInfo(self):

# input value table
   Inputs = arcpy.Parameter(
      displayName="Input Features",
      name="in_features",
      datatype= "GPValueTable",
      parameterType="Required",
      direction="Input")

   Inputs.columns = [["DEFeatureClass", "Input Layer"], ["GPString", "Constraint Type"], ["GPString", "Constraint Field"],   ["GPDouble", "Relative Constraint"], ["GPDouble", "Buffer Distance"]]

   RC_output = arcpy.Parameter(
      displayName="Relative Constrained Union Output",
      name="RC_out_features",
      datatype="DEFeatureClass",
      parameterType="Optional",

      name="ABS_out_features",
      datatype="DEFeatureClass",

      direction="Output")

   Inputs.filters[1].list = ["Absolute", "Relative"]
   Inputs.filters[1].type = "ValueList"

   params = [Inputs , RC_output, ABS_output]
