Nested Repeat Issue

Question

I have a published survey that already has 2 repeats in it, and I would like to place one within the other. I was able to do so and publish, but when I attempt to submit a completed survey, I get an error:

I suspect this means I need to somehow specify the relationship between the tables? If so, how do I do that?

That... is really odd. Is this survey based on a different layer? That is the only way that would make any sense. To check this, open the XLSX and go to the "settings" tab. Is there anything in the "submission_url" column?

While the survey indicates that there isn't a relationship, Survey123 should be specifying and managing the relationship for you. But for some reason, it doesn't seem to be doing that.

We've experienced a lot of issues with republishing more "complicated" surveys (surveys with repeats, etc.) when adding additional repeats or changing the schema, and it just results in us having to create a brand new survey.

Since Esri manages the tables/relationship on the backend, I suspect you might need to create a new survey in order for it to work.

I've updated the survey, yes.

Yes normally it would inform me that all previously collected data will be lost because it will have to create a new feature layer, but not this time.
