Description
Definition queries and selection sets defined on the join layer are ignored by the join.
Cause
The table underlying the join layer is used to create a join. This table has no knowledge of settings made on the join layer.
Solution or Workaround
Re-create the definition query or the definition selection set after the join.
Spatial joins respect the definition queries and the definition selection of both the join and target layers.
