Hey all,I am trying to iterate through a multivalue list of layer files from a parameter (set as a "Layer File" type). I've been trying to loop through the list, but it either errors out or I only get the first layer file returned. In the following script, I'm trying to set the sourceLayer to one of the layer files being fed from a multivalue list. It keeps returning the error:
PYTHON ERRORS:

arcpy.mapping.UpdateLayer(df,lyr, sourceLayer, True)
del sourceLayer

del sourceLayer
mxd.save()
