topic Numeric attribute field displaying text label/alias values? in ArcMap Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/numeric-attribute-field-displaying-text-label/m-p/664608#M1370 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hello, I've been bashing my head against the wall trying to figure out what's going on here.</P><P></P><P>I have a feature in a geodatabase that has some sort of alias going on with the field values / labels.

You can explore the domain values in the properties dialog of the geodatabase in ArcCatalog. This is what "translates" the numeric value into a text string.</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 04 Mar 2020 13:43:15 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/numeric-attribute-field-displaying-text-label/m-p/664609#M1371 KenBuja 2020-03-04T13:43:15Z Re: Numeric attribute field displaying text label/alias values? https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/numeric-attribute-field-displaying-text-label/m-p/664610#M1372 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thanks Ken.
