PROBLEM

Coded domain values do not appear in ArcGIS Field Maps when creating features

Last Published: September 22, 2021

Description

When collecting data or creating features in a layer containing coded domains in ArcGIS Field Maps, only the codes are displayed instead of the values. The image below shows the Streams layer displaying the domain codes when creating a new feature in ArcGIS Field Maps.

The Streams layer displays the domain codes when adding new features on the map.

Cause

This is expected behavior. When a feature layer containing coded domains is symbolized using unique values in ArcGIS Desktop and published to ArcGIS Online, the layer displays the domain codes when attempting to add features in Map Viewer, ArcGIS Field Maps, or other apps.
