Domain - Valid Code values

Question

Hi,

Have been trying to find out what the requirements are for the values of the Codes in the domains. Specifically the following:

* The number of characters allowed in code values?
* Are any type of symbols accepted in code values?

I am asking because I am having crashing issues with ArcGIS Pro 2.4 when my code values are long.

I have been matching the code and code descriptions to the same string for simplicity. When I cut down on the code string length it seems to work fine.

Oh that is good stuff.

I am assuming there is an appropriate error message too the highlights to the user that there are too many characters in the code?

OK, your description lines up with the repro case that is marked fixed in ArcGIS Pro 2.5.  Now that you know what is causing the crash, at least you are better equipped to avoid it.  Even at 2.5 you won't be able to put more characters into a field than allowed 
 but at least Pro won't crash when you try.

Cheers

Oh yeah good point. I guess the issue lies in the subtype not domain. I found around 50 characters to be the limit. I had a value that was 53 characters and once I removed a word and it was 47 characters it worked. Don't have the exact number for you though.
