Every time I attempt to use the split tool, it does not accept my input for the split field. I wish that the possible split fields appeared in a drop down list, or that I could browse for options. Even when I spell the field correctly, it does not accept it, and I an unable to receive help from ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Help. Has anyone else had this problem with Split before?

The features must be a polygon and the split field must be character/text
