Selecting multiple from domain list in ArcGIS Pro

Hi GIS people!

Just wondering if this is possible, but not an absolute priority. I want to know if I can select multiple "options" from my domain list for an attribute. Lets say I have a domain assigned to a color field with the options:

CODE	DESCRIPTION
1	Red
2	Blue
3	Yellow
4	Green
5	Black

For my color field, could I select 1, 2, AND 3 for one attribute in the drop down list? I am trying to avoid typing in all my choices in a separate field or creating multiple fields for showing the options. This is just a simplified example of what I am looking for.

Thanks!

Hi LT,

I don't believe that's possible when creating features in ArcGIS Pro. I think the only "select multiple" available in the ArcGIS Platform is via Survey123 - not sure if that's possible or useful in your situation though! Otherwise you may have to split it into multiple fields as you suggested.

Hi Joshua!

That's what I was thinking, but I wanted to be sure that I wasn't missing a function in Pro. Thanks for your suggestions though! 🙂

We're needing this same functionality. It seems like Esri's only option for this is indeed Survey123.

Is a multi-select feature on a roadmap for Pro?

Hi,

I'm in the same situation with the need for selecting multiple values from a Domain list, and thought of this...

field_with_domain_values	field_concatenated

Lets say we have a Domain with 4 values: Description1, Description2, Description3, Description4

Every time you change the value in the Domain-field, a Arcade script triggers in the Field_concatenated

var current_concat = $feature.field_concatenated var domain_val = DomainName($feature, 'field_with_domain_values') var split_current_concat = Split(current_concat, ',') If(!Includes(split_current_concat, domain_val) { Push(split_current_concat, domain_val) } var new_concat = Concatenate(split_current_concat, ',') return new_concat

And make the field_concatenated so the user can edit it.

You can also try to extend the script to check if all the values in the field_concatenated is in the domain descriptions, and remove the text that are not (don't know if it will work, if they start typing and it triggers the arcade script, that then removes what you have just typed)

Or you can make it, so if they change the field_with_domain_values to the same domain that already is in the list of field_concatenated, pop the identical value from the list

This is something i'll try within a week or two, but if any of you try it first, please post your experience

And I'm sorry to say, my suggestion didn't work 😞

This is in the product plan for Field Maps. I would hope similar functionality will be added to Pro alongside https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-field-maps-ideas/allow-select-multiple-questions-in-field-maps/idc-p/1700839#M2688
