Contingent Value Workflow to Display All Values by Default Rather Than Field Group Category

Hi everyone,

I am trying to experiment with using Contingent Value workflows for the first time and have a question if I am doing this the right way.

I have a domain set up on a feature class with entitled Program, with different types of program types such as:

Active Transportation

Capital Project

Sidewalk

Street Activities

Traffic Calming

I also have domains set up for design_lead (Engineers):

<Null>

Sam Smith

Brian Smith

and g_designer (Geometric Designers):

<Null>

Selena Gomez

Shaquille O'Neal

I want to set up contingent values in that any time a user creates a project polygon and selects Traffic Calming from the drop down selection under 'Program', a group of Traffic Calming Engineers and Traffic Calming Designers are selectable. I have another two fields entitled design_lead (Engineers) and g_designer (Geometric Designers). I have added in the relevant Traffic Calming Engineers and Traffic Calming Designers into the domain list for both design_lead and g_designer.

I have then set up the field group, "Traffic Calming" with the program, design_lead and g_designer fields, and set up contingent values on different variations to test:

It seems to work when add a new polygon this way, however when I try to select another program type, the itnerface just looks strange at first glance to me.

For example, I select Active Transprotation from the domain for Program, but when it comes to choosing the Engineer of Record, the drop down only shows Traffic Calming (Field Group). Can I default it so that it will show the 'Show All' list since I did not select 'Traffic Calming' as the Program? This means every time a user selects another type of program, they'll have to choose '<Show All>' in order to select their Engineer of Record and Geometric Designer?

Would this be the correct workflow, or would there be a better one to accomplish the workflow indicated while still ensuring if a user selects another program type (i.e. Active Transportation), that it isn't confusing for the end user?

The 'Traffic Calming' string you highlighted is the name of the Field Group. If you add a row to the field group:

program = Active Transportation

design_lead = ANY

g_designer = ANY

does this help? I believe what is happening is that you did not add Active Transportation to the field group.
