You can specify which of the properties of your domains must be applied to the columns or entity attributes associated with the domain, and which propeties are permitted to diverge.
You are prompted to apply domain properties to columns or attributes currently attached to the domain. If you click OK, the properties of these objects are modified in order to be consistent with the properties of their domain.
If you subsequently modify properties of the domain that are not selected for
enforcement, you will be prompted to apply your changes to the columns or
attributes attached to the domain. To choose not to apply your changes,
deselect the appropriate checkbox. Properties that are enforced may not be
deselected and if you only modify enforced properties, then this dialog will
not be displayed.
