How to add a new code value to existing domain?

I tried to add a new code value to a existing domain for a existing field. So I republished to a map server. It hasn't update a new code value in existing domain on a existing field. Please advise! thank you!

I had to republish I'm afraid

Are you able to tell me what method you used in order to see these changes reflected in your REST service?

I'm guessing I need to republish (overwrite?) or simply restart the service in order for these domain value changes to be accessible. Would like to avoid having to republish.

From my own experience of this issue you have to use ArcToolbox to add the new entry to the domain - although ordinarily it would be fine to do it in the properties menu in arccatalog this doesn't seem to pull through to the service. Only when I use the toolbox tool to add a new entry to an existing domain would it appear in the published service.

It is the same feature class and same one that is being published. See screenshots in order.

Double check that the feature class that you updated the domain for is the same one that is being published.

I am using SDE database feature class = SQL server.

See screenshot of existing domain. After row "bad", I tried to add "dead" then clicked ok. It shows on existing field drop list in ArcMap attribute table.

So when I tried to respublish it to feature service, it doesn't show up new code value in existing field attribute table. It doesn't show on the web map or app. Please advise.

It hasn't update a new code value in existing domain on a existing field.

How do you know that it hasn't update ?

Did you check domain inside geo-database properties, attribute table or the templates of editing ..?

What Rex Says,

Important. Double check that if items are subtyped that the domain is set for reach subtype.

You may need to republish your service to get the new domain to take

Hello Alex,

Out of curiosity- do subtypes exist on any of the feature classes upon which this coded value domain would be applied? If so- ensure you are updating the domain through the subtypes tab of the feature class.

Does the new coded value for the domain show up in an ArcMap document when doing a test attribute edit? In other words, is it only missing from the published service and not the underlying geodatabase data? Finally- is the map service just a map service (only capability) published only through ArcGIS Server or is this a feature service / hosted feature service? Thanks!

If the service is a hosted feature service check:
