Power Automate doesn't pull Creator, Editor, EditDate, Creation Date on survey submit

Question

Does anyone know why Power Automate doesn't pull Creator, Editor, EditDate, CreationDate?  We allowed the webhook to return all data from the survey, so don't know why the PowerAutomate When Survey Response Is Submitted trigger isn't returning those fields.

If you use Survey123 connect, you can specify in the XLSform that the survey should include the built-in survey "start" and "end" types, i.e. when the user opened the form as start, and when they hit the 'submit' button as the end. These are in UTC epoch millisecond time like the other AGOL date fields. You can 'name' these fields to be whatever attribute name you want them to be in the hosted feature layer; these are different from CreationDate although often the survey end datetime should be basically the same as the CreationDate time. They are hidden by default and do not show up to the form users. However, these dates will be included in the output of the Survey123 webhook attributes if you use them.

Hi @Jay_Gregory ,

Thanks for sharing here. The editor tracking information, like Creator, Editor, EditDate, and CreationDate, is automatically added to the layer when the edit is made; therefore, they are not in the Survey123 webhook payloads.

Currently, you can use the ArcGIS connector after the Survey123 connector to query this information based on the globalId.

I will record your request in our backlog, but I also encourage you to contact Esri Support and raise an Enhancement issue. Our Support team will assign an official issue number for your records. This number can be used to search for and subscribe to the issue on the Esri Support site. If the issue is reported by other customers, it will be attached to the same issue report, which helps us assess the impact of the issue and prioritize it accordingly.

Thanks,

Ruth
