Typing into Attributes with Domains No Longer Sorting Correctly

parkcountygis — Wed, 02 Jul 2025 16:25:45 GMT

Has anyone else noticed with the recent ArcPro 3.5 versions that typing into an attribute field that has a domain list is sorting completely differently now? Fore example, I used to type an "R" and only items beginning with an R would show up, sorted alphabetically. Now it is showing everything containing the letter R which is not particularly helpful. Another example is I type in "Rd" and it shows other values containing "Rd" before the exact value I typed in...frd, frds, etc.

Is it possible this is a new setting that can be changed?

Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

Hi @Robert_LeClair I have seen you response to other attribute rule and domain posts so I was wondering if you had any info on this. Thank you!

Hi @parkcountygis - yeah - I'm active on the ArcGIS Pro questions as you see! This is an interesting question as I have not seen this behavior before. A couple questions for you:
1. Are you working with a fGDB or eGDB?
2. Are you coded value domains independent or assigned to a subtype?
3. You did not see this behavior before 3.5? Have you installed any 3.5.x patches?
4. Can you share a sample of the data with me so I may test? My email address is rleclair at esri dot com - thx!
