I have a line feature and want to create points along the line at specified intervals.. I can do this with the "Points Along Line" GP Tool... 

BUT I need to record in a field the distance it was created at... 

Example:  I have a line 100 ft and it creates 10 points along the line... I need each point to have a field like "DistanceAlongLine"  and the 10 records would have 100,200,300,400 etc in it.  

Can this be done... As stated I can get  the points but dont know how to get the distance along the line to be put in a field.

Hello, the features you are looking for appear to be already integrated into the tool, as you can see from my image (ArcGIS Pro 3.3)

I have to do this on thousands of lines... I think this is a manual line per line process.

I dont see this working as I cant get it to create points along a line and cant get it to put the incremental values in a field
