I have a field that has a domain. The domain description shows in the attribute table, but not in labels, where the coded value is displayed. I have the check box 'Insert fields with coded value description function' checked. Details: Code snip lbl = $feature [ "L4STRUCTURES.structure_name" ] + "\n" lbl + = "Size: " + Text ( $feature [ "L4STRUCTURES.structure_size" ] ) lbl + = "\n" + round ( $feature [ "L4STRUCTURES.lat" ] , 6 ) + ", " + round ( $feature [ "L4STRUCTURES.long" ] , 6 ) + "\n" ArcGIS Pro 2.2.1 L4STRUCTURES is a feature class residing on a client's ArcGIS server, and is joined to another feature class from the same source and a local table. Any idea how to get the descriptions to display? Thanks.

To show the domain descriptions, you have to use DomainName ( $feature , 'theField' ) ;

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Domain descriptions not showing in Arcade labels

I have a field that has a domain. The domain description shows in the attribute table, but not in labels, where the coded value is displayed. I have the check box 'Insert fields with coded value description function' checked.

L4STRUCTURES is a feature class residing on a client's ArcGIS server, and is joined to another feature class from the same source and a local table.

Any idea how to get the descriptions to display? Thanks.

To show the domain descriptions, you have to use

<SPAN class="token function">DomainName</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>$feature<SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">'theField'</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">;</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

Awesome, thank you! Not sure of the purpose of the coded values checkbox then, but this works perfectly. Surprised ESRI doesn't feature this more prominently.

When I made a simple Arcade script, just double-clicking on the field name automatically added the DomainName syntax.

Zeke

Did not do that for me. Oh well.

Thank you sooooo much. Been fighting with this for a while. As with Greg, ArcGIS Pro (2.4.1) definitely did not help out in any fashion. Double clicking in Arcade just adds $feature.Fieldname

The only "help" I could find on Esri's site says you have to do Domain to Table, then do a one to many join of that table back to the table ...

Thanks again.

What's the Python equivalent?
