Workforce Assignment Type displays as random text string in Survey 123

Question

Sorry if this is obvious, but when I configure Workforce to pass the Assignment Type field to a Survey123 field, it displays as a text string (see screenshot). In this case '54770bb6-f97d-4a4e-9269-016592683d15' instead of the actual Assignment Type 'GIS - DATA REQUEST'. Is there any way to make this copy the actual assignment type name across to the Survey123 field, instead of the random text code?

I've only really used Survey123 Connect so I'm not sure what the capabilities are when creating a survey using the web.

Thanks for the reply Michael. Is this something that would have to be done in Survey123 Connect? I think it's a little strange that you cannot easily get the Assignment Type name (as entered into Workforce) to copy across as it is.

You're getting a random string of text because Assignment Type is a GUID field. Maybe you can use an if statement in Survey123 to change the text string to the name of the assignment.
