I’m trying to limit the number of fields when I perform a merge to two. Below is the script I have created to do so. However, the merged feature class carries over all fields, despite my use of a fieldmappings
object.
di
is a dictionary with a shape type (“polyline”, “polygon”, etc) as its key, and a python list of feature classes as its value. Any ideas?
relevant code:
fms = FieldMappings()
jnFm = FieldMap()
sourceFm = FieldMap()
jnFm.addInputField(fc, jobField)
sourceFm.addInputField(outFcFullPath, "FC_SOURCE")
fms.addFieldMap (jnFm)
fms.addFieldMap (sourceFm)
print "nMerging"
for shapeType in di:
featureClasses = di[shapeType]
mergeFC = os.path.join (outGDB, "All_" + shapeType)
Merge_management (featureClasses, mergeFC, fms)
print "Created: All_" + shapeType
