Survey points in wrong location

Question

Hello, I am working with Survey123 Web Designer 3.19 to create a super simple form.  I am using the survey widget in Experience Builder (ExB), and have toggled the 'send data to this survey' option so the users can click on a polygon to set the location and auto-populate the associated attributes.  However, the survey results layer is locating the survey points at the 0,0 location near west Africa, not inside the selected polygon. The other views of that same feature service populate correctly 90% of the time, but not always. I have personally submitted all the survey responses thus far to test the results, and I have my allowed access to my location on both my PC's browser and my mobile phone.  I have edited the extent of the results layer, and updated spatial indexes.

Is there a setting on the web designer version of Survey123 that would remedy this? I have read that there is a setting on the map tab in Survey123 Connect, but I don't know if that is available in Web Designer.

Hi,

I had this same issue with a Survey123 Connect form. While reverse geocoding an address submission I noticed that the geopoint was being placed at 0,0 (off the west coast of Africa). Originally I had the bind::esri::fieldType set to null in the form. Once I deleted this and republished the survey, the points were placed in the correct location.

Not sure the cause of this but this solution worked for me!

Thanks for your time and for that suggestion.  I was trying not to use Survey123 Connect for such a short survey, but I will if I need to.  Any idea if this can be accomplished in the Web Designer 'drag and drop' version?

Short answer is "yes".

You will need to add a geopoint question (it can be a hidden question). Then, you would feed your polygon's x,y data into that geopoint. After that, your survey submissions should appear in the correct spot.

Essentaially, you need 3 fields:

* text field for latitude. This is a container. Dump your lat into here.
* text field for longitude. This is a container. Dump your lat into here. 
* geopoint. This will use a calculate to center the point on the map, thus giving your surveys location data!

Here is what is looks like in Connect:

EDIT. Forgot to include what the other half looks like in Experience Builder:

Two notes:

* You may need to set default=null for the geopoint for it to work.
* Doesn't matter in your case since the geopoint will be hidden, but the S123 geopoint doesn't like to zoom in. E.g.:
