Utility Network – ERROR 004049 Unable to modify domain, one or more asset types have been deleted

DasheEbra

Hi folks,

I’m facing a confusing behavior while working with a local Utility Network (File Geodatabase) in ArcGIS Pro, and I wanted to check if anyone has seen the same.

Scenario

1. I created:
   • A new Asset Group (Subtype) = Subtype_Test
   • Two new Asset Types (coded value domains – Short Integer)
2. Then:
   • Assigned the Asset Type to the Asset Group → Save > ✅ Success
3. But:
   • When I try to switch to the second Asset Type, I get:

ERROR 004049: Unable to modify domain, one or more asset types have been deleted
AssetGroup(155,SubtypeTest),AssetType(2,tew)

Notes

• Both Asset Types are newly created
• They are not assigned to any other Asset Group
• No additional configuration steps were done (no rules, no topology changes, etc.)
• The issue happens immediately after initial assignment
• A colleague tested the same workflow:
  • Different machine
  • Different ArcGIS Pro version
  • Different Domain Network (Water) and mine is Electric.
    → Same issue reproduced

Also, I’ve reviewed the following source, but it doesn’t provide clear guidance or a practical solution to the issue.

ArcGIS Pro 3.6 & ArcGIS Pro 3.2

You need to determine which code you deleted from the domain and re-add the original code and description to the domain before you can reassign it.
