I see this is an old idea post (2015), so I'm late to the party, but I agree that range domains should be enforced.
I just came across this while searching for reasons behind why a range domain allows entries beyond the set range. I discovered that range domains are not enforced quite by accident while showing staff how domains should be put to use to ensure data integrity.
To me, not truly enforcing it defeats the purpose of even using the domain. A little pop-up warning does no good, especially if the attribute entered outside of the range can still be saved.
I vote this up!
It doesn't make any sense to have range domains that doesn't work! The whole purpose of domains is to perform QC on the data while being edited!
I think that any value outside the range should be rejected by default!
Thank you all for your Ideas.
Are you all still seeing this behavior? In ArcGIS 3.2, When a value outside of an assigned range domain is supplied to a field, the value is automatically adjusted to the closest valid value in the range.
If this is not the behavior you are currently seeing, would you be able to provide some steps to reproduce the behavior?
