Additional Information
Two things are going on here. First, there is the capitalization of the field names. This is getting updated correctly when the Source field and corresponding Target field are set in the Apply Symbology From Layer tool. The second thing is the capitalization of the data itself. Notice that the data values in the STATUS and CATEGORIES fields of the Expanded Wells layer are all capital letters, while the data in the symbology layer (NM_SWD Wells) has only the first letter capitalized in these fields. As a result, none of the data matches the Ranges of the symbology layer when using the Maintain Ranges option, since the values used by display or symbology are case-sensitive. On the other hand, when using the Update Ranges option, the unique combinations from the three fields in the Input Layer will be assigned to existing symbol classes, seemingly in alphabetical order. If look closely, the combination of values for a specific symbol has changed when using this option, so it is not working correctly. This is the expected behavior, but a workaround is probably possible. One idea would be a Field Calculator expression to modify the data to change it from all capital letters to only having the first letter capital letter. That way, the data would match and work with the applied symbology.Steps to Reproduce
