I am using the Iterate Feature Class tool in ModelBuilder to iterate through feature classes within a Geodatabase. I would like to add the capability to custom select which feature classes within a single GDB to iterate through. This desired capability is very similar to the "Input Datasets" step of Merge (Data Managment).
The Iterate Feature Class tool only provides you with 3 ways to filter:
-Feature Type (line, polygon, etc)
-Wildcard
-Recursive
The ability to custom select which feature classes to iterate does not exist, can someone please help me figure out how to customize the input? Thanks!

You cannot create the interface you are asking for with the iterator. If you want the interface as in the merge tool you need to add to your model a variable of type FeatureClass and tick on MultiValue and expose it as a parameter. This will give your the required selection control.
