Hi all,
Does anyone know if it is possible to have 'conditional' domains. For example a value of commercial in field1 would spawn a domain in the next field of C1 C2 C3 etc whereas a value of residential in field1 would spawn a domain with R1 R2 R3 etc..
Thanks
Mark

I am interested on this same topic. It is something I am able to do in Excel which is called dependent drop downs and was want to extend this to GIS databases. (Pipelines can be made of particular material, then each material is constructed to particular standards, and each standard has only certain sizes available)
But taking Mark's same example and rewording it.
Say you have the following fields:
- Landuse
- Density
- Structure Type
Landuse = Residential, Commercial, Industry
Density (For Residential) = Low, Medium or High
Density (For Commercial) = Services, Offices
Density (For Industry) = Light, Heavy, Hi-Tech
Structure type (for Residential - Low) = Single Dwelling, Acerage
Structure type (for Residential - Medium) = Townhouse, Duplex
Structure type (for Residential - High) = Units, High Rise, Hotel
Structure type (for Commercial - Services) = Automotive, Retail, Health
Structure type (for Commercial - Offices) = Finance, Resources,Government
Structure type (for Industry - Light) = Agricultural
Structure type (for Industry - Heavy) = Mining, Manufacturing
Structure type (for Industry - Hi-Tech) = Medical equipment, Computer manufacturing
And for these fields you would like only valid domains to be displayed in the drop downs as you go along the attribute table.
eg.
I choose landuse = residential
I only want Density - low, medium,high to be displayed in the drop down box.
Then when I choose Medium... I only want structure type = townhouse or duplex to be displayed in that attributes drop down box.
Hope that clears up Mike's question
Thanks
Hi mgerbz, Did you find out something how to do this? Would be very interested in that possibility too...
Hi a.hirschi-wyssesri-rw-esridist, No i did not. I got the short answer of, It is not able to be done in a standard geodatabse setup / by ESRI software parameters. I have a theory that in the SQL/Oracle RDMS geodatabase world, you could expose this type of methodology into an enterprise geodatabase. However have not progressed on this any further.
Reviving this old thread . . . Did you ever find a solution to this?
@NickAddison The original accepted solution for this question issue is from 11 years ago (oof) is subtypes, which allow for different domains and default values for each subtype. Since then, Esri has also introduced contingent values, which allows for contingency between domain values without requiring subtypes.
