How to Set a default domain value in a subtype definition using Python

IanHamilton2 — Fri, 12 Nov 2021 05:04:18 GMT

Hi I have been searching through the help to find a solution for this but have had no success.

I am using python in Arc Desktop

I am creating a subtype and need to set a default value for domain which is used in a subtype field definition.

for those who have looked in detail there is a tuple of (None, None) where there is no domain on a particular field.

(None, <domainobject>) where there is a domain value but no default value set

how can I set (some value belonging to the domain, <domainobject>)

I haven't found a python way of doing this.

Thanks!

Pretty simple -

arcpy.AssignDefaultToField_management(fc_path, fld_name, def_val, subtype_code)
