I am creating a feature class for the ArcGIS Collector App and want to create domain table for an attribute field. The problem is that I have 6335 possible values that could be used for the field. Is it possible to create this table externally and then import into domain table?

That many values will make Collector unusable. Strongly suggest you rethink your strategy, may be ArcPad may be a better solution where you could build an interface that can deal with that number of options.– HornbyddCommented Aug 5, 2016 at 16:56

Maybe using subtypes would make the domains smaller. see also esriaustraliatechblog.wordpress.com/2015/04/16/…– Kirk KuykendallCommented Aug 5, 2016 at 17:37

Although you may want to rethink your schema if you have that many values for a single domain, there are tools available in ArcGIS to help you do this. One thing I am not sure of is if there is a limit in ArcGIS to how many domain values the gdb can store for a single domain.
The workflow would be to create your values in a gdb table, dtable or excel, then use the the tool "Table to Domain" (under Data Management) in ArcGIS.
