Inbox Breaking Calculations and not pulling data

Question

Morning,

I seem to be having a problem with my survey123 inbox not working correctly. Iv made tons of these surveys using the same xlsx sheet but the past 3 recent surveys seem to not have the inbox working in different ways. I will attach my sheet its very large but here are some of the problems occuring.

* Meter Test Date - Not calculating now() only when using inbox
* select_multiple - Bypass_Meters - automatically selecting Subject Meter when pressing collect but when using inbox its not. Theres no data in this field
* Subject Meter Manufacture to Subject Meter Type - All are not pulling the data that is in the feature when using the inbox

My survey123 is updated to the most current version.

Not sure about your second or third point, though I encountered your first issue with trying to calculate the date fields from an inbox survey yesterday.

To get around this, I found the date fields can be specified as a text question type within the survey itself. The calculation will run normally and will populate with your date, but will display it in a decimal format. You then need to set the bind::esri:fieldType field to esriFieldTypeDate which will convert the string of numbers back in to its respective date format in your data frame.

Weirdly, I found this function of calculating dates did not break when the calculation was run within a repeat. Possibly this could be another solution for this issue in the meantime?

Hope this helps! Sorry if I've misinterpreted your question!

Re. your first point, I just logged a bug for it a few days ago. It broke with the latest AGOL update.

Defect number: BUG-000169089
Synopsis: The ArcGIS Survey123 field app does not automatically recalculate values for date questions with relevant expressions when the record is edited in the Inbox folder.
