Is It possible to use repeat without Related Table? IE multiple points at locations for heatmap data?

Question

Hello,

I am attempting to include a repeat into my survey created on the back of a Feature Service. I would like the user to locate the address in one question, and be able to add multiple answers / points during the Survey.

However, when I attempt to add a repeat, S123 Connect states that the 'Table repeat_entry not found'.. error

I don't want to add a related table, I just want 2 points at the same spot if possible.

Thanks, I mis-understood what the repeat feature actually did at the time thinking I could use it not in a related table, but to repeat the collection of the data point.

Sounds like what I was attempting to achieve will not work, where ever I put the geopoint because I indeed do not have a related table. For this question though, the error of not finding the repeat table still occurs. Thanks for the idea.

Survey123 does not allow you to have multiple points/lines/polygons in a single record (aka multi-geometry). If you need multiple points/locations collected for the same site for example, you have two options:
- collect new records with the same site id/attributes (you can mark entries as 'favourites' in Survey123 so you don't have to type the same repeatedly)

- collect a single point/location for the main record (eg. for the site), and collect the multiple other (sub)locations in a repeat. (These will go to a related feature service/table as that's how repeats work in the app.)

Hope this helps.
