First off, I’m aware that one can import tables or fields from other feature classes when creating fields for a new feature class. However, so far unless I have an exact schema from another feature class, I have to additionally go through the list I import from an Excel table to set certain parameters like Field Aliases and Data Types.
My intention is to have some sort of template in Excel whereby I will design all my fields and specify the Field Name, Alias, Data Type, “Nullable Status”, Number Format, Domains and other parameters; after which, when creating fields for feature classes, on importing the Excel table, I can have them automatically populate as per the “attributes” set in Excel without having to tweak say the Alias or “Nullable Status”.
Is that possible? It would really be a better and faster way to create fields without moving around in the Create Feature Class pane to populate/adjust fields and values
I’ll appreciate any insights.
