Create a dropdown menu of codes which will autopopulate the name from a related list in the next field.

Hi there,

New to ArcGIS here, so please bear with me. 😉

I have several lists of coded features (e.g. habitat codes and bird species codes; please see screenshot below) which I want to apply to drop down menus in Field Maps Designer to collect data in Field Maps. I would like to create a dropdown menu for each of the 2 code types  which will autopopulate the name in the next field in Field Maps. 

Is there a simple way to do this in Field Maps Designer?

Thanks in advance.

Hi again @RhettZufelt,

Thank you so much for the solution to the query in Field Maps a couple of months ago. I have been using it a lot and it works really well.

I have now started using Survey123 to collect non-mapped data and I need to do the same thing i.e. get the code in one field and the full name in the next. I wonder if you would have a solution for that too?

Thanks in advance!

Sarah

@RhettZufelt Are you doing this in Field Maps Designer?

@SarahJorgensen Thanks for asking the initial question - I've been needing help on this for awhile.

[RhettZufelt]

Yes, or map viewer.  See my post here from earlier today (I show both).

Thanks for all your help!

I was able to replicate what you did by creating the Combo Box list using the code values as the list Labels and the full name values as the list Codes.

@JamieCooper Thanks for this tip too. It worked perfectly for me.
