I have 3 surveys that are all filled out at different times by different people. All the surveys start off with a common identifier (street_name). The feature layer that they are all updating contains the street_name field along with attributes that will only be filled out by certain surveys. Is there a way I can make the surveys populate the fields of the attribute that matches with the answer for street_name?e.g analyst1 fills out a survey and answers "center street" for street_name. analyst2 fills out a different survey and answers "center street" for the street name. analyst2's answers will populate the same attribute that analyst1 populated because the value for street_name was the same .I've read through this https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-blog/survey123-tricks-of-the-trade-pulldata-quot-layer/ba-p/1224415and this (among other resources)https://doc.arcgis.com/en/survey123/desktop/create-surveys/xlsformformulas.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_BB97985CAFB740EE8AEF99EFD6E238E3It seems like pulldata("@layer") could almost work but i'm unable to figure out how to update the same layer. Thank you !
You can also use the Survey123 web app to edit existing records. However, it is a bit more involved. Check this for details.

Thank you! I have all surveys built on the existing Feature service. (tested, they all update the same Feature service.) Since all the analysts are using the surveys via the Survey123 website, doing this through the inbox is no possible. Is there a way to edit the existing feature service if all the users are web based?
Hi. Have a look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGTPIzTtbSk It shows how existing records can be updated from the Survey123 mobile app.
To have your survey update records from an existing layer, in Survey123 Connect go to New Survey - From Feature service. Select your feature service and a bare bones survey will be created targeting your existing feature service. Tweak the XLSForm, enable the Inbox and publish.
