Add layer to Survey123 Connect

Question

I am attempting to add a layer containing polygons to a Survey123 Connect form so that field staff can enter notes about individual polygons into the form.

How can I add this layer and allow a column to be populated by field staff?

Thanks to all.

Robert..

Ah, I understand. In that case what you would probably want to do is build a Survey off of your pre-existing feature service:

https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-blog/working-with-existing-feature-services-in-arcgis/ba-p/894290

Then in the web map that contains the polygon layer, you can add a link in the popup to trigger the opening of the survey.

I've done this quite a few times and can give you some specific examples of how to structure the link if you wind up going this route and would like me to!

I'd like for field staff to be able to click on a polygon in the map and add information to a column

Is this a completely new form? If your spatial question is of type Geoshape, you will be able to add polygons. I recommend reviewing Ismael Chivite's article on geoline and geoshape if you haven't come across it already.
