I need to create a range domain in a file geodatabase. The user will be able to select a value ranging from 0 and to 200 with an interval of 10. For example, 0, 10, 20, ..., 200.
How can I make and configure a domain type like that?

You can't make a range domain which only has discrete values - for that you need a coded value domain. See a quick tour of attribute domains.
There are two types of attribute domains:
- Range domains—A range domain specifies a valid range of values for a numeric attribute.
- Coded domains— Coded value domains specify a valid set of values for an attribute.

Just a quick follow-up question. What if a range domain contains thousands of discrete values? Is there a programmatic way?– alextcCommented Aug 6, 2014 at 2:00

1Any more than a dozen values in a list is bad, it takes so long to find the value you're after! That said, I don't know an easy way around this so that might be the only way. There is Add Coded Value to Domain resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#//… which you can iterate in arcpy. Commented Aug 6, 2014 at 2:11

@alextc That should be a separate question but I would use arcpy.da.InsertCursor with a loop to write a table that you convert with Table To Domain.– PolyGeo ♦Commented Aug 6, 2014 at 3:24

From your other question it sounds like you're doing this in a web client - in that case you might be able to do something clever with type-ahead followed by some validation. Prompt the user with possible values as they start typing, and verify the value once they've entered something Commented Aug 6, 2014 at 3:38
