This domain is used in two feature classes and several fields in those feature classes. I need to make the change while also changing the value of the fields in the row in the feature classes that have the old value. In other words, I need to change the domain and change the values in the feature classes while not breaking the linkage between the domain and feature classes. I would like to do this via arcpy, but I don't see the tools to do it. I can export the domain to a table, change the values in the table, and recreate the domain from the updated table, and then assign that domain to each feature class, but I don't believe that will change the existing row values. Any suggestions for how to solve this?</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 20 May 2020 16:53:14 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/how-do-i-change-an-existing-value-of-a-coded-value/m-p/625994#M48799 ShawnHolyoak1 2020-05-20T16:53:14Z Re: How do I change an existing value of a coded value domain? https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/how-do-i-change-an-existing-value-of-a-coded-value/m-p/625995#M48800 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Check out the examples using the <A href="https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/tools/data-management-toolbox/an-overview-of-the-domains-toolset.htm">Domains toolset (ArcMap) </A>or&nbsp; <A href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/data-management/an-overview-of-the-domains-toolset.htm">Pro.</A></P><P></P><P>Specifically look at code for Delete Coded Value To Domain and Add Coded value to Domain.&nbsp; Delete the old value, add the new value.&nbsp; There is a tool to resort the the domain which may be of benefit, particularly when using tools like Collector.</P><P></P><P>If&nbsp; you are not changing the code (just the description), you probably shouldn't have to change your data.&nbsp; If you do need to change your data, you could use an update cursor and a where statement (where field using domain equals the code value being replaced).&nbsp; Alternatively, you could use the Field Calculator.</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 20 May 2020 19:24:56 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/how-do-i-change-an-existing-value-of-a-coded-value/m-p/625995#M48800 RandyBurton 2020-05-20T19:24:56Z
