I created a tool that uses Parse Path on a feature layer. The path is then used as an input for where a buffer tool's output feature class is stored. This is utilized inline, using the %Path% indicators in the output location.
This works great when you pick the input feature layer from the folder browser, but does not work when you pick a layer from the dropdown.
Is there a way to prevent the dropdown, or get the parse path tool to recognize a path from the dropdown?
Thanks.
