Additional Information

for lyr in m.listLayers (): #get layer object if lyr.name == inLyr: arcpy.AddMessage ("found lyr in map") inLyrPath = os.path.dirname (lyr.dataSource) outLyr = os.path.join (inLyrPath, outLyrName) arcpy.AddMessage ("full path to outLyr: " + outLyr) arcpy.CopyFeatures_management (inLyr, outLyr) arcpy.AddMessage ("after CopyFeatures") arcpy.SetParameterAsText (2, outLyr) #push layer out to map arcpy.AddMessage ("after SetParameterAsText") break; p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject ("CURRENT") #get current project m = p.listMaps () [0] #get first map in project m.addDataFromPath(outLyr) for lyr in m.listLayers (): arcpy.AddMessage ("lyr.name: " + lyr.name)

Workaround

Perform any task requiring access to the new layer before exiting the loop where the layer object is current. For instance, use the MakeFeatureLayer to create a layer object and return that object to the map instead of returning the new layer 'as text.' That way the layer object can be updated, such as by applying symbology from the existing layer from which it was copied.
