In ArcGIS Pro, the description of a coded value domain can be applied to multiple records within a field at a time using the Calculate Field tool. In this scenario, a domain with the following attributes is assigned to the attribute table:

Note:
The field type of the feature class attribute table must match the field type of the domain.

The instructions below describe how to use the Calculate Field tool in ArcGIS Pro to apply the coded value domain description to a field in ArcGIS Pro.

The image below shows the Schools_all attribute table with the incorrect field values.

Refer to ArcGIS Pro: Calculate Field (Data Management) for more information on the parameters in the Calculate Field tool.

4. In the Calculate Field dialog box, configure the following parameters:
   1. For Input Table, select the feature class.
   2. For Field Name (Existing or New), select the field to be edited. In this example, LEVEL is selected.
   3. For Expression Type, select Arcade.
