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?
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.

Hi Kristen,
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?

I don't have domains assigned in the geodatabase, so this
shouldn't be the issue. It looks like it only recognizes the
first field in the dataset when QGIS is categorizing the data for
shading.

Hi Kristen and Randal,
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.
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.
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.

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
Name Field - Domain
1 Randy
2 Kristen
3 Nathan
BUT - you appear to be doing it right! But that doesn't
help the value problem you are seeing.
