How do I auto fill the Input Table records for batch processing the Delete Field Tool, in ArcMap?
Geographic Information Systems Asked by CJSF on April 20, 2021
I have over 500 individual shapefiles that need to have a specific field removed from their tables. In theory I can use the batch option with the Delete Field tool, but adding the Input Table cell for 500+ records is extraordinarily tedious. Is there some way to automate or semi-automate that part of the process? It hardly makes the batch aspect worth it as it seems to work right now.
One Answer
Search for them in Explorer, e.g. "*.shp" (right window), select all and drag to tool window ( left one):
Use "fill" option on field column.
