Hi, 

Has anyone went through issue with the Value doesn't fall within the Domain” in a File Geodatabase ?

Even though the description is already there   See screenshot

I am currently dealing with it and it is a lot of work…

Is there a workaround to fix the error ?

The reason I am asking is because I have to go back to the Recreation.gov website and re-do again and reviw to ensure I choose the right one.

I am using ArcGIS Pro 3.3.6 in a Citrix envirnoment

It looks like the value has been entered instead of a code in a field with a coded domain. 

 

FME lets you do this (or at least used to) and when you look at the data in ArcGIS pro it looks correct, it’s only if you look at the backend database (or read into FME without resolving domains) that you can see that it’s a value not a code.

Is there one like that for a transformer to check for errors ?

Hi ​@probert1968,

The error with the value not falling within domain can be solved by following this forum post: Values doesn't fall within Domain.

If you didn't edit the value for the Allowable_Equipment field and it's still showing that error, perhaps the domain was updated or replaced after the data was created, and the features still have “old” values that no longer exist in the domain. If you have any more questions about this error, you may want to post it on Esri’s community forum or contact Esri support.

If you would like to learn more about working with geodatabase coded domains in FME, here is a great article on that: Working with Geodatabase Domains: Writing A Coded Domain.
