Hello,

I would like to know if there is a chance to change the text that is written next to radiobutton in a python toolbox when I define a parameter with composite datatypes. I use string and double, and simply this text is written, but that doesn't say much to the user.

And besides, I could not disable the parameter. That is maybe a bug!

Regards,
Rosita

I don't really understand your question. Are you talking about the label in the toolbox that pops up when the user uses your tool? If so that's easily changeable. I need a bit more clarification to answer your question. If you want to give your user more information about what the script is doing, you can use arcpy.AddMessage("Your text") and that will put it in the results window.

Hi, I mean that the text next to the radiobuttons just say "String" and "Double". And I cannot give them a different meaning for better understanding. There is only the parameter display-text above that I can edit.
