Passing a date via a field URL parameter || format issues

Question

Hey all,

we created a form using the Survey123 Web Designer and then integrated this form into an ArcGIS Dashboard using the "Embedded content" widget. The form should be called when a feature has been selected in the map. This works so far! 🙂

Our observation is now the following: If the feature contains a date including the time, it will only be transferred from the feature to the form via a field URL parameter if the settings of my AGOL account are set to English, as well as the time format is also set to English. In the other case, here a German profile with the German time formats, the transfer does not work and the field in the form remains empty. Is this a known limitation?

Best regards
Sven

Have you inspected the output yet? The easiest method may just be to feed the date into a text field and see what changes. Once you know that, you can feed the date into a calculate which modifies the date into a format the Date question can handle, and then feed that calculate into the Date.
