Field

Resumen

The field object represents a column in a table. A field has many properties, the most obvious ones being its name and its type.

Debate

Field properties can be accessed through the ListFields and Describe functions.

Updating a field property only updates the field object, no changes are made to the actual field in the table or feature class.

required (Lectura y escritura)	Specifies whether the field is required. A required field cannot be deleted.	Boolean
scale (Lectura y escritura)	The scale of the field.	Integer
type (Lectura y escritura)	Specifies the field type. Blob—The field type will be BLOB. BigInteger—The field type will be Big Integer. Date—The field type will be Date. DateOnly—The field type will be Date Only. Double—The field type will be Double. Geometry—The field type will be Geometry. GlobalID—The field type will be Global ID. Guid—The field type will be GUID. Integer—The field type will be Integer (Long Integer). OID—The field type will be Object ID. Raster—The field type will be Raster. Single—The field type will be Single (Float).

Field example

Display field properties for the specified feature class.

import arcpy

feature_class = "c:/data/counties.shp"

# Create a list of fields using the ListFields function
fields = arcpy.ListFields(feature_class)

# Iterate through the list of fields
for field in fields:
    # Print field properties
    print("Field:       {0}".format(field.name))
    print("Alias:       {0}".format(field.aliasName))
    print("Type:        {0}".format(field.type))
    print("Is Editable: {0}".format(field.editable))
    print("Required:    {0}".format(field.required))
    print("Scale:       {0}".format(field.scale))
    print("Precision:   {0}".format(field.precision))
