I'm going to place this in a custom toolbox that I made up.&nbsp;</P><P>I have the beginning of a script, and when I chose the input when I created it, the dialog won't allow me to pick a data file. I would like to choose a .gdb (or a shapefile) line and create a buffer. What am I missing?</P><P>I've attached a screenshot of the dialog.</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="python_data.PNG" style="width: 442px;"><img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/7870i5B8229AB016B7DCC/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="python_data.PNG" alt="python_data.PNG" /></span></P><P>Thanks for any help.</P> Mon, 08 Mar 2021 21:20:22 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/arcmap-python-data-select-dialog/m-p/1034171#M60299 nimitz 2021-03-08T21:20:22Z https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/arcmap-python-data-select-dialog/m-p/1034176#M60300 <P>isn't there 'FeatureClass' in the parameter properties section under Type?</P> Mon, 08 Mar 2021 21:27:19 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/arcmap-python-data-select-dialog/m-p/1034176#M60300 DanPatterson 2021-03-08T21:27:19Z https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/arcmap-python-data-select-dialog/m-p/1034184#M60301 <P>Yes.
