Hi Thomas, A couple of months ago I had the same problem and after some research found that the "Required" parameter property is read-only as documented here: Customizing tool behavior in a Python toolbox http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/Customizing_tool_behavior_in_a_Python_toolbox/00150000002m000000/ As a workaround, what I did was if a box was checked or textbox was filled in, I would use the addIDMessage and add error 735. AddIDMessage (arcpy) http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//018v00000022000000 000735 : <value>: Value is required. ArcGIS Help 10.1‌ What this did was that when the value was enabled, I could make the text box required and when the user went to run it, it would through an error asking for that value to be filled in. Does this help? ... View more

Hi Matthew, Yes. The way to get this script to apply over multiple templates is to create a parameter in your script tool that would have something like a combo box or a filter added to select which template you would want.  Then when that option is selected, set the templateMXD to that and pass everything else as you would before. Hope this helps! ... View more

Hi Dan Patterson‌ & Curtis Price‌, In regards to using a python toolbox over a script tool please review the following docuentation which may provide some additional insight specifcally, this line: "In a Python toolbox, parameter definitions, validation code, and the source code are handled in the same place, making it easier to create and maintain Python tools. Additionally, Python toolboxes support capabilities that script tools do not, such as value tables, composite data types, and custom license checking.‌" Comparing custom and Python toolboxes ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2) I hope this helps! ...

Hi Christina Heimburg‌, As we discussed in our phone conversation, this functionality is not yet possible with value tables.  The code snippet that we used was the following as a workaround: import arcpy class Toolbox(object):     def __init__(self):         """Define the toolbox (the name of the toolbox is the name of the         .pyt file)."""         self.label = "Toolbox"         self.alias = "Toolbox"         # List of tool classes associated with this toolbox         self.tools = [Tool] class Tool(object):     def __init__(self):         """Define the tool (tool name is the name of the class)."""         self.label = "Tool with Value Table"         self.description = "Contains a model that you would like"         self.canRunInBackground = False     def getParameterInfo(self):         """Define parameter definitions"""         in_features = arcpy.Parameter(             displayName= "Input Feature Class",             name="in_features",             datatype="GPFeatureLayer",             parameterType="Optional",             direction="Input")         Fields = arcpy.Parameter(             displayName= "Field",             name="Fields",             datatype="GPString",             parameterType="Optional",             direction="Input")         value_table = arcpy.Parameter(             displayName = "Selected records",             name = "value_table",             datatype = "GPValueTable",             parameterType = "Optional",             direction="Input")         value_table.columns =([["GPString", "Feature Class"], ["GPString","Field"]])         params = [in_features, Fields, value_table]         return params     def isLicensed(self):         """Set whether tool is licensed to execute."""         return True     def updateParameters(self, parameters):         """Modify the values and properties of parameters before internal         validation is performed.  This method is called whenever a parameter         has been changed."""         if not parameters[0].hasBeenValidated and parameters[0].value:             #listOfFields = []             #fields = arcpy.Describe(parameters[0].value).fields             #for field in fields:             #    listOfFields.append(field.aliasName)             parameters[1].filter.list = [f.name for f in arcpy.Describe(parameters[0].value).fields]         if not parameters[1].hasBeenValidated and parameters[1].value:             vtab = arcpy.ValueTable(len(parameters[2].columns))             if (parameters[2].valueAsText not in ('', ' ', None)):                 vtab.loadFromString(parameters[2].valueAsText)             vtab.addRow('{0} {1}'.format(str(parameters[0].value), parameters[1].value))             parameters[2].value = vtab.exportToString()             parameters[1].value = ""             parameters[0].value = ""             parameters[1].filter.list = []                     return     def updateMessages(self, parameters):         """Modify the messages created by internal validation for each tool         parameter.  This method is called after internal validation."""         return     def execute(self, parameters, messages):         """The source code of the tool."""         return ...
