Display layer ID in feature layer properties

[Bud]

It's my limited understanding that Contents layers have a layer ID that is accessible via ArcPy.

When developing Python tools, it would be helpful to be able to see the layer ID in the feature layer's Catalog properties window for debugging purposes.

• Refer to a specific Contents layer — even when there are layers with duplicate names

@Bud 

did this Copy Path command not help you?

[Bud]

@TanuHoque Yeah, I suppose that does the trick. Feel free to close.

Already offered via Copy Path command from Map ribbon tab

Thanks @Bud for trying it out and confirming that it works for you.

I tried this (and want to do this) but I don't get an id. I get something like "CIMPATH=map/sdg_sign2.json". Help!

@AdamGaudet 

CIMPATH=map/sdg_sign2.json is the unique identifier of your layer.
