I have a polygon feature class(Parcel) that I want to append to another polygon feature class(FinalParcel). The schemas do not match. I'm trying to determine the best way to update Parcel so that it has a matching schema to FinalParcel without using Python.

Other than looping through a list of field names with the Add Field tool in Model Builder(or in Python), how can I add the appropriate field names to the Parcel polygon?

Is there a way to combine an empty template feature class with the Parcel feature class to yield the right schema so append can be used?
