Perhaps you need to reference the "datasetName" or "dataSource" instead of the layer "name".  Which to use may depend on whether you plan to use your tool inside or outside of ArcMap.  See this help topic for explanations  of these different properties. In code, perhaps you should try "datasetName" or "dataSource".  (Since you mentioned an issue with backslashes, perhaps "dataSource" would be the one to try.) LayerList = [r'c:\pathTo\geo.gdb\LayerSource', 'anotherLayer'] for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd):   if lyr.supports("LABELCLASSES"):     if lyr.dataSource in LayerList:       lyr.showLabels = True     else:       lyr.showLabels = False‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

I have used code like: mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT") LayerList = ['MyLayer'] for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd):     if lyr.supports("LABELCLASSES"):         if lyr.name in LayerList:             lyr.showLabels = True         arcpy.RefreshActiveView()‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

As Darren is suggesting, try: def FindLabel ( [MAINSIZE], [MAINMATERIALTYPE], [SYSTEMMAOP], [INSTALLATIONDATE], [WORKORDERNUMBER], [INSERTEDMAINSIZE], [INSERTEDMAINMATERIAL] ):      return ' '.join(filter(None, ([MAINSIZE],[MAINMATERIALTYPE],[SYSTEMMAOP],'D',([INSTALLATIONDATE][-2:]),[WORKORDERNUMBER], '\n', [INSERTEDMAINSIZE], [INSERTEDMAINMATERIAL]))) ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

As Russ is suggesting, you need to look at the types section in the feature's JSON file.  Getting domains to sort (and stay sorted) in collector has been so frustrating, that when I publish a feature layer I add a step to resort items in the types section.  I use the REST API to do this, and I briefly describe my process here: Feature type sort order in REST API using Python. ...

The Programming ArcGIS with Python Cookbook book looks like a good resource and worth the investment.  I have found online resources to be just as valuable, if not more so, than a few good reference books. Knowing what and how to ask Google (etc.) is an invaluable skill. ... View more

To loop through all the features, you might try the following code.  However, if the where clause fails, you may get a count of all records. import arcpy arcpy.env.workspace = r"d:/TMP/miha_k/zirovnica/novo/test.gdb" fcs = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses() for row in fcs:     arcpy.MakeTableView_management(row, "myTableView", "PARCELA LIKE '%/%'")     print row, int(arcpy.GetCount_management("myTableView").getOutput(0))     arcpy.Delete_management("myTableView") ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

As Darren suggested, I don't think you would want to cycle through all your features; they might not have the fields you want to query anyway. Here's some code based on this link: arcpy.env.workspace = r"d:/TMP/miha_k/zirovnica/novo/test.gdb" in_table = "featureToSearch" # MakeTableView_management (in_table, out_view, {where_clause}, {workspace}, {field_info}) arcpy.MakeTableView_management(in_table, "myTableView", "PARCELA LIKE '%/%'") count = int(arcpy.GetCount_management("myTableView").getOutput(0))‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ But, if your features all contain the same field in your where query, you could do a "for row in fcs" loop.  You could also add an if "feature in list" line to limit the features used. ...
