SURVEY123 Connect existing features not listing fields in choices

Question

I'm attempting to create a Survey123 survey for attendees to a festival to provide their residence by state and county for use in future marketing. When I attempt to create a survey using Survey123 Connect and connect it to the "Feature Service," the "survey" lists the fields, but does not populate the "choices" with the fields.

I am using a open source county map feature class to connect with the survey.

Can anyone help with how to get Survey123 Connect to populate the "choices" fields from the attribute table? Any suggestions on how to construct this survey are welcome as well.

If you want the city and state fields to be captured separately, just delete the "null" in the [bind::esri:fieldType] column. I deliberately set it to null so the data wouldn't be captured because it was only on there as an example and I figured it wasn't useful.

Thanks Laurence and Melissa, your suggestions and expertise helped a great deal.

Laurence, I experimented with the xlsx sheet you generously provided and it works great. I did notice for anyone else out there that when I published or updated the survey, the settings reset and prevented me as the editor from seeing the data on the dashboard map. It was frustrating until I finally found the right box to check and I still have to recheck it each time a update the survey.

I wish the city and state field were captured in separate fields after being autocompleted. But I am attempting to figure that out. Seems a waste to have it in the survey and not capture the data. Also plan to add a field for "First time Festival Attendee" Otherwise, I appreciate your expertise and showing me how to use the xlsx file for geocoding.

The choices sheet is, of course, blank by default. Each user has their own options that need to be added manually. That doesn't happen automatically.

There's no need to enter basic geographic information such as counties. You can simply set up a geocode question and let people enter their county, postcode or home town and the location will be automatically  and accurately mapped. See the attached xlsx.
