Any ideas why Append is throwing the error below? There are three parcels selected, that I'm trying to append to the Cases feature class. As far as I can tell, there's absolutely nothing that's using Cases. No one else has access to this geodb, so it's not a case of another user, and I'm not doing anything else with it. Using Append from the toolbox works fine. Thanks.Code:import arcpy from arcpy import env env.workspace = r"\\TestServer\TestCases_Geodatabase.gdb" #------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Append selected parcels to Cases # def AppendParcelsToCases(): input = "Parcel" target = "Cases" schemaType = "NO_TEST" try: arcpy.Append_management(input, target, schemaType) except Exception as e: arcpy.AddError("Error creating case feature! \n" + e.message)
