Survey123 hidden field dropdown list

Question

I want to have a dropdown pick list to appear on the web map when a question is hidden. Valid/Not Valid.(no typing)  In my research I saw that you first create the question as a select one, publish it then change it to hidden and publish it again.  I tried that and it is not working.  I do not get the dropdown pick list.  Am I not doing it correctly?  Is it a capability I have in 10.4 environment?

Great suggestion!  I tried it but the problem is I have a calculation formula on the select_one question and my answer for it changes depending on answers from previous questions. The calculation formula does not work when a relevance formula is written in. Any other thoughts??

How about setting the type as “select one” however set the relevant expression to something that will never be true?

This way the field will always be hidden in Survey123 but accessible with the proper dropdowns in ArcGIS online.

I hid some fields in Survey123 using a relevant expression: today()>today()

Is there upgrades in the works for this process?  Our surveys are always

changing and we are sharing xls forms. That means the domain for hidden

field is not going to work unless you do the steps as the first thing.  Any

recommendations on workarounds?
