Randy, I tried your codes and they did not work for me.   Thanks.

Thanks for the tip!  When I drag my Street layer out of TopLayerGroup, the codes work just fine.  I begin to suspect if group layer is supported by ESRI for doing most of data management tools? ... View more

TopLayerGroup\Street I replaced Street = lyr.longName and it still does not work.  It gives my the selection count but not doing the copy features.  Thanks. My code looks like this: df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd)[0] for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd,"",df): #loop layers if lyr.name == "Street": Street= lyr.longName selCount = 0 selCount = len(lyr.getSelectionSet()) arcpy.AddMessage("{1} features selected.".format(fc, selCount)) try: # Process: Copy Features arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(lyr.Street, street_CopySelected, "", "0", "0", "0") del df except Exception as e: print e.args[0] ...

It just doesn't find that layerName so the script did nothing.  Thanks. ... View more

Thank you for all your help.  I chose the easiest route for me which is using the built in parameters but all suggestions are very helpful.  I might try them later. ... View more

Thank you so much.  From your example, I created 2 parameters, 1  folder datatype for path and 1 string datatype for filename.  It works!   ... View more

Thanks Joshua.  I was hoping for a more simple approach to my issue.  Most of the time I just use model builder and script out to python.  The code I put here is just the last step of my workflow not the whole thing so I do not think I'm able to write all that in addin.  I've not learned to code in python yet.  I tried to use the output parameter but it didn't work. ...

Thanks Jake.  It's CURRENT_TIMESTAMP.  My brilliant co-worker figured it out!  ... View more

You are right.  My query (EditDate = Current_Date) did not work in rest service directory "Unable to perform query.  Please check your parameters". If I put EditDate ='02-14-2018' it works.  What I want is today date not a fixed date.  I've tried from now, date to current_date.  None works.  Any idea? Thanks. ... View more

Hi Jake, Your tool works fine for me when I use Where Clause with text fields.  However when I use Where Clause with date field: EditDate=Current_Date, it gives me error message: URL is incorrect.  Or, Service is secure, please enter username and password.  Any idea how I could fix this ?  My layer is a feature service layer from AGOL.  EditDate and Editor are 2 fields that automatically added when you turn on "Keep track of who created and last updated features". Thank you so much for your help. ... View more
