Additional Information

We apologize that we were unable to address this issue within the current product support cycle. If the issue continues to affect your work in a supported release, please contact Technical Support. Note that ArcGIS 10.8.2 is the current release of ArcGIS Desktop and will enter Mature Support in March 2024 (https://support.esri.com/en-us/products/arcmap/life-cycle). There are no plans to release an ArcGIS Desktop 10.9, and we recommend that you migrate to ArcGIS Pro. See Migrate from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro (https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-pro/resources/migrate) for more information.

Workaround

After the join is made, change the field names in the Display Expression from [cities.CITY_NAME] to [CITY_NAME] (field name without the feature name). Here, the Expression is not valid. However, this displays the values of the related feature class in the Identify window even after the join.
