ArcGIS 10.1: Subtype/Domain Functionality

Question

Is there any way to create more complex conditional domains in a table than a single subtype and associated domains? I would like to get the same functionality that more than one subtype in a single table would provide but ArcGIS only allows one. I want to be able to use multiple domains in one field that are part of a subtype, where each domain might only allow other domains used in the next field.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Not sure where your idea fits in among these, but there are several out on the ArcGIS Ideas site you might want to vote for:

1. Allow subtypes on multiple fields
2. Requesting a Sub-Subtype Option
3. Coded value domains set mulit-level dependancy on coded value domains for a feature class

Answer 2

I know this post is ancient, but ArcGIS Pro has functionality called Contingent Values that might be what you need:

Create and manage contingent values

Contingent values, sometimes referred to as contingent attribute values, are a data design feature that allows you to make values in one field dependent on values in another field.

Alternatively, attribute rules might be useful too.
