What happened to constraints?

Question

What happened to constraints?  It seems like on the latest version of the iPhone app (3.5.164) or the latest version of Survey123 Connect (3.5.157) constraints are no longer enforced and messages are no longer displayed.  It's so bad that the Constraint XLSForm template (which was updated May 28, 2019) no longer works.

Any update as to when this will be working again?

Old thread, but someone recently created an Idea for this issue:

Hi Benjamin,

As Doug pointed out and I mentioned above, constraints now validate differently in 3.5, compared to 3.3. This is due to many reasons that have been explained in other posts.

Using an input mask may resolve the issues you are having, but either way when you select submit survey, you should still see the constraint error messages of the values are not valid?

Can you share your entire xlsx form so we can take a closer look?

Thanks,

Phil.

Are you trying to submit?  The form will not check all constraints until sending.  It does work different than 3.3.

What you may want is a input mask instead.
