Survey123 webform generation error following update to version 3.13.249

EmilyMcLeanACTGOV

Hi,

I have been experiencing an issue where when I publish a specific survey from Survey123 Connect (I've tested both to AGOL and ArcGIS Enterprise) there is an error in generating the webform and so I'm unable to open the survey within a browser. I'm able to successfully open it within the app. I've had a look in the web form file in the survey folder and it just contains the following:

{
"error": {
"code": -1,
"details": [],
"message": "{}"
},
"success": false
}

I tested publishing one of the template surveys as well and that has generated the webform successfully, so it looks like the issue is specific to this survey. I saw that there was a similar issue following the September update, and am wondering if it is caused by a specific question type that I have included in my survey?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi @EmilyMcLeanACTGOV , @HaroldHerrera1,

Are you able to provide a copy of your XLSForm so we can reproduce the error you are seeing, also attach any media files from the media folder if they are used in the survey.

If you are unable to share publicly, please send me private message with attachments.

Regards,

Phil.

They have listed a work around as using Select_one_from_file which is apparently not impacted by the issue.
