Field (arcpy)

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.
