I've changed a number of domain values in fields within a map layer. My map already has 1000+ data points pre-change. I'd like to "translate" the recorded domain values for the existing points to the new domain values. The translation is straightforward and unambiguous.
I know how to do this in ArcMap using the Field Calculator in an edit session, which would allow me to change a bunch of values simultaneously. I also see that I can edit values in the attribute table for the layer in Collector but apparently only one at a time. This would be extremely time-consuming. Is there any way to "batch edit" attribute values in Collector so that I could change, for example, all occurrences of a certain old domain value to the related new value?
If the only way to make batch changes is in ArcMap, how can I get the changed values into the attribute table of Collector? Do I have to republish the map?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Dan,
Do you have access to ArcGIS Pro? You can load the Feature Layer from AGOL and edit just as you would normally a local file. See also, Add a feature service for editing for additional info.
If you are using ArcGIS Desktop, you can load the Feature Layer in but to edit you have to go through a few more steps.
See also Making a local copy of a feature service for editing and Synchronizing local edits with the server for additional information.
As with any data edits, make a copy of the data on AGOL before you attempt to make the changes.

It all worked. Thanks for the guidance.

Thank you, Lance. I'm not very familiar with Pro (although I do have access to it) but I do understand your instructions for ArcMap. I'll give that a try today.
