This is the full script, and yes, I am using version 3.2. I want to adapt it to the Arcgis pro 3.2 version.
Hi Jairo,
So, It looked like your code just checked the values in a field and returned the same values. I'm not sure why you were doing that.
You can do a conditional field calculation like this:
This example shows two text fields with string representations of numbers between 1 and 10, and some 998 values. If the value in the source field, "A_field" is equal to "1" or "2" it returns those values to the target field ("A_second_field"), and if it is "998" it returns "998".
A Python function, that I named "my_conditional" takes a single variable parameter (the source field) and returns some values using conditional evaluation.
The result is:
Notice that values of 1, 2, and 998 get added to the target field, and the other rows have their original value of <Null>.
Another thing you could do calculate all of the values in the second field to be the same as the values in the source field. You don't need any Python code for this:
The result is:
Another thing you might do is use Python to convert integer values in one field to string values in the target field. Here I convert the integer values form OBJECTID field into strings in the target field:
That tutorial I gave you a link for shows step-by-step how to add a new function and use it to calculate values.
Best,
Bob

Hello Bob,
I'll explain it to you another way, I'm using a cataloged GDB that has two fields: RPDT and DECS_RPDT.
This "RPDT" field contains slope ranges used in Geomorphology, and the other field "DECS_RPDT" contains the text that corresponds to the ranges contained in the "RPDT" field. (see image 1).
When I do the photointerpretation, I enter the range of the "RPDT" slope, and the script instead, when I execute it, adds the qualitative value that corresponds to each range. (see image 2).
Hence, it is not as you indicated above, that I copy the same value into another field.
Seriously, I am very grateful to you, I already copied it with all the values, but it fills the "DECS_RPDT" field as NULL.
I hope it's clearer, and sorry for the inconvenience.
