Custom URL from Collector Passing Attribute Values with Special Characters to Survey123

MalloryGill

I have a web map for use in Collector that has a custom URL in the pop-up to launch a Survey123 form. One of the fields that is passed through the custom URL tends to have a lot of values with apostrophes. In the Survey123 form, all the fields populate via the custom URL as expected until a value with an apostrophe is passed through, then the apostrophe does not appear and nothing after that auto-populates. An example is below:

Field One: 

Compton Peak

Field Two:

Mary         <<< This should read "Mary's Rock"

Field Three:

                 <<< This should read "Rock Castle Gorge" 

This behavior only appears on the iPad and Android mobile devices. When tested in the Windows version of the Survey123 application, all the values come through as expected.

Mallory‌, 

You can create custom expressions for use in your Pop-ups using Arcade.  Please see Attribute Expressions in AGOL and the Arcade Function Index.  You can use an expression along the lines of the following in Arcade.  This will replace a apostrophe with "%27%" if it is in the string or just return the original string if not.  This would need to be modified for strings that could contain multiple apostrophe's. 

Var t = $feature.trail_name
IIf (Find("'", t)>0, Replace(t, "'", "%27%"), t)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

Then in your hyperlink reference the expression rather than the field: arcgis-survey123://?itemID=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz&field:TrailName={expression/expr0}  

Note, the number of the expression "expr0" will be dependent upon your setup.

1) Open the Feature Map in AGOL

2) Select "Configure Pop-up" for the feature you would like to modify

3) Scroll down to the Attributes Expressions and click the ADD button

4) Build the expression something along the lines as below.

5) This expression will now be available for use in constructing your Pop-up
