Creating a Custom Domain

Anonymous User

I'm looking to find a way to have a table auto fill attributes in separate fields based upon a domain. The current LGDM has a feature for street trees but the attribute table has three separate fields that would need to be filled in while in the field. Is it possible to create a table with a main domain (ie Trees) that once entered, the imputed tree can be broken down into its parts (genus, species, common name) in separate fields?  This would allow for the field data collector to only have to select from one domain and have the necessary fields attributed, saving time and potentially preventing data collection/input errors.

David, you might have a look at subtype group layers.

Subtype group layers—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop 

Say you have an animal's feature class with subtypes, Bear, Canine, Reptile, Bird, and then each subtype had its own domain BearDomain (Black, Grizzly) CanineDomain (red fox, gray wolf, coyote), etc. 

In Pro add the layer, by going to the Map tab, Layer group, and click Add Preset and click add Subtype Group Layer, and then navigate to that feature class.  The layer will appear, and the Bear, Canine, Reptile, Bird subtypes will look like their own layers.  When you expand them, you will see their domain values symbolized.

When you go to the Edit tab and click Create, you will see templates for each domain.  So you could click on Coyote and then draw a few Coyote points on the map.
