Greetings!
I am fairly new to Python. My dataset contains 29 feature classes - some have more than 1 polygon. If a dataset has more than 1 polygon, then the script needs to merge the dataset's polygons + keep all attributes. Any ideas?
Thx! Gail in Alaska

but keeping all the attributes isn't going to happen since you only have one table record per feature.
I would recommend against just having a multipart feature dataset because at some stage you are going to want single part features. If you must... keep both dataset.
