Domain Description not showing in web-map attribute table in ArcGIS Enterprise Portal

Question

In ArcGIS Pro the coded domain values show the description, but when I publish/overwrite to the portal, the coded domain values show and not the domain description in the attribute table for all layers in the web map. I cannot figure out how to change it on Portal or why it's changing to the coded value instead of the description when published. The pop-up and the symbology show the description with no problem.  The feature layer is hosted through the ArcGIS Server Mgr.  Any insight appreciated

Ok I actually found the solution shortly herafter in an older post:

If you start an edit session, for instance make one entry and delete it again, the Feature Template updates the description. Then you publish or re-publish your service and the description is showing instead of the domain value when you edit in the feature layer in the Portal or Online 🙂

Were you able to fix it? I have the same issue in Portal and also AGOL map viewer with layers referenced from the server. The data tab shows the description, but when you reload it, it displays just the code.
