Kristen - I did a test this morning using a file based
geodatabase. I built one with subtypes and that appears to mimic
what you are seeing...maybe.....Is the field that you are
attempting to symbolize an integer of some sort? <br>
<br>
Do you have arcgis handy (I do and can check if you wish)? Can you
check? Right click the Feature class in Arc Catalog and click on
the subtypes tab. <br>

<div>I'm a little confused with the terminology -- When you
say only the first field is recognized, are you referring to
the first attribute column? If you click the 'column'
dropdown in the style settings dialog, are there other
fields to base the categorization on?</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Kristen and Randal,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think Randal is correct. There area a
few issues preventing the equivalent of
domains from working in QGIS, but the main
issue is that QGIS uses GDAL to load vector
data. GDAL has no concept of domains as far
as I know. QGIS does somewhat--you can
define value-description pairs that will
show up in the attribute table from the
layer properties.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I just tested whether setting an
attribute's edit widget (under Properties
-> Fields) to value map and providing the
value-description pairs there would allow
them to be applied to symbology -- but it
didn't work. If you have the descriptors for
each category, they can be manually typed
into the label. It isn't a great solution.
:( Tests were performed with QGIS master
64bit, FileGDB API 1.3 on linux.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, you may want to check your data to
make sure all the values are showing up.
When I was testing, only 1 category would
appear when the attribute was classified
from the file geodatabase feature class.
When exported out to a shapefile, all of the
unique values for that attribute would be
listed.</div>

<div>First thought is your are
working with a field that is a
domain. Example being the values
are 1 2 3 but in ArcGIS they are
displayed as meaningful attributes<br>
<br>
Name Field - Domain<br>
1 Randy <br>
2 Kristen<br>
3 Nathan <br>
<br>
BUT - you appear to be doing it
right! But that doesn't help the
value problem you are seeing. <br>
