Domains in a SDE database...

Question

We have several established domains for several of our feature classes.  This weekend I added new domains and set them to items in a valve databse, however when I edit the features in ArcGIS I am unable to get the drop down lists for the items.  I have a feeling I am missing something simple, but I'm drawing a blank.

You need to use Catalog to assign the domains to the field(s) through the SUBTYPES tab of the feature class properties.  For some reason the domains also need to be assigned through this tab as well as through the FIELDS tab in the FC properties.

After I assigned the domain again through the subtype tab, the drop-down vales would appear in Arc Map.

We are having the same issue - how did you resolve the problem ?
