complete added field by model builder

[MartinHoben1]

Hey guys!

Is it possible to complete an added field by the model builder? Or have I do it manually?

Thanks!

drag the tool into modelbuilder Add Field—Help | ArcGIS Desktop 

and just specify the parameters... if they are to remain the same, you just specify them once and they will be used again... obviously the field names must differ

Ok, but I want to fill in the field manually. How is it possible within the model builder?

make what you want to fill in a model parameter

Another option is following Add Field to tag on a Calculate Field (Data Management) tool and then populate the field using the appropriate expression in the tool.
