Learn how If Field Exists works in ModelBuilder

Usage

• This tool is intended for use in ModelBuilder, not in Python scripting.

• The tool has two Boolean outputs, True and False. Based on the condition being evaluated, one of the two Boolean outputs is true and the other is false after the tool runs. These Boolean outputs must be set as a precondition to the downstream tools for those to execute if either of the preconditions is true.
