Are you intending that users choose one (or many) field name values from this input?

I'm not the OP, but I've got the same problem...

The idea isn't to choose a field name, but the field value.

For example, imagine a tool that exports data from a user-specified row to Excel. The user opens the tool and sees a dropdown list of existing values in a field of the table, eg permit codes or parcel numbers. In the python toolbox, you can populate that list with something like this:

class Tool: def getParameterInfo(self): p0 = arcpy.Parameter(...) with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(layer_or_table, [field]) as cursor: p0.filter.list = [row[0] for row in cursor] return [p0]

Each time you start that tool in Pro, it searches the specified layer/table for values. If you add a new value, it will be shown in the dropdown list the next time you start the tool.

When you publish that tool, you get a static list of values that were in the layer/table when you published. New entires won't be shown.
