Oh, huh!  I've learned from experience that it's necessary to have the "r" in front of the path, but I didn't know what it actually meant or did, so that's a big help to know that it helps prevent unintended escapes due to backslashes!  That makes sense. ... View more

Thanks for that tip!  hmmm.... my script has been working fine with the single backslashes, so your post makes me wonder why I haven't had problems with that!   ... View more

Thanks for your suggestions, Joe and Egge-Jan! I quit and then reopened ArcMap and tried again, and this time the code was pasted normally and it worked.  I'd still be quite interested to hear if anyone has an answer to my question, just out of curiosity. But I guess the moral of the story is: if you have a problem, quit the application and then try again.  --Allen ... View more

Thank you Randy - this solved the problem! Allen ... View more

Thank you, David!  Based on your suggestion, I tried removing the [] around the field name, and that didn't accomplish anything.  Then I put the [] back on, and I tried adding the index to this line: row[0]=str(counter), and it worked!  Now I am able to change values to be multiple characters. I thought I wouldn't need to use the [0] because I was only using one field, rather than two, but I suppose it does make sense that it's still necessary, because the field is a list in this code. The field length is 50. ... View more

Thanks for your reply, Dan!  I tried that right after reading your reply, and unfortunately it did not change the results. ... View more

Esri staff:  Is there any news about this issue?  It does feel quite unreasonable to be unable to view or add new photos to an existing survey (like when opening it from the inbox).  It's so inconvenient to have to put the photos within repeats, because it makes the survey more complicated for users, the data/photos are harder to find and access in the data tables, and perhaps most importantly, the photos within repeats cannot be displayed in a convenient way in a web map or dashboard.  This seems like a serious problem and is making things really difficult for my organization. Thanks for reading. ... View more

Hi Doug, The trick I mentioned in my previous post, making the repeat's appearance "minimal," did work!  But of course it would be ideal if it would work without having to change the appearance. Allen ... View more

Update:  I got it to work!  I found the Walk function and was able to use it to reach my goal of listing the fields and their lengths.  Thank you so much for your replies, David and Dan! import arcpy import os workspace = r'Database Connections\prvgisdb1-GIS-webadmin.sde' feature_classes = [] walk = arcpy.da.Walk(workspace, datatype="FeatureClass") for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in walk: for filename in filenames: feature_classes.append(os.path.join(dirpath, filename)) for feature_class in feature_classes: fields = arcpy.ListFields(feature_class) for field in fields: if field.length > 255: print feature_class print("{0} {1} {2}".format(field.name, field.type, field.length))‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ -- Allen ...

Dan, Thank you for the info about formatting code! I would have never found that on my own.  Yeah, the incorrect indentation of the last line turned out to be a copy/paste problem. Thanks! ... View more

EDIT: SEE MY NEWEST REPLY farther down in the discussion - I went with a different approach and got something to work!! Hi David, Thank you so much for sharing this code with me!  I really appreciate it.  I can see how it makes sense. I tried it out, but it did not work for me - nothing printed. I've been working on making adjustments and trying slightly different approaches, but I have not found a solution.  I printed the dataset path along the way and found that the "r" was not part of it, so I was wondering if I should add the "r" back in (In previous versions of my code, I discovered that the "r" is really necessary). Below is my current version.  The dataset paths are formed correctly, as far as I can tell.  But feature classes within the datasets are never actually listed.  There seems to be a problem with "looking inside" the datasets. Does anybody out there have any tips? import arcpy import os sde_path = r'Database Connections\prvgisdb1-GIS-webadmin.sde' arcpy.env.workspace = sde_path datasets = arcpy.ListDatasets() dataset_path_list = [] for dataset_name in datasets: dataset_path = os.path.join(sde_path, dataset_name) dataset_path_list.append(dataset_path) read_ds_path_list = [] all_fc_path_list = [] for ds_path in dataset_path_list: # For each dataset path, read_ds_path = "r'" + ds_path + "'" # Add "r" to it read_ds_path_list.append(read_ds_path) # Then add it to a different list for rdp in read_ds_path_list: # For each dataset path in that list, print rdp #test - this works arcpy.env.workspace = rdp # Make it the workspace fcs = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses() # List the fc's in that workspace/dataset. print fcs # This does not work - prints "None" for each dataset.‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...
