Select from currently loaded layers in map

KP — Fri, 07 Dec 2012 14:56:12 GMT

I have a script that creates a buffer and I added it to a toolbox. When the script is ran and user goes to select the feature class to buffer there is no drop down to select from the currently loaded features in the map. You have to browse to a folder every time. I've compared my code to other scripts that do so and I can't see anything that I'm missing.
Any advice?

Hi Kevin,

Set the data type to Feature Layer for the input parameter instead of Feature Class.
