Survey123 Custom URL and fields with special characters.

Bkoziell

Noticing strange behavior when passing attribute values through the url that have apostrophes, commas, or other special characters.  Also, behavior is different between iPad and Desktop.

Trying to pass a description field that looks like this;

On west side of road. 140' south of intersection, 750' before cul-de-sac at end of Settlers.

When I pass to Survey123 form on Desktop it looks like this;

On west side of road. 140' south of intersection %2C 750' before cul-de-sac at end of Settlers.

When I pass to Survey123 form on iPad it looks like this;

On west side of road. 140

On Desktop it fails to recognize the %2C as a comma.  On the iPad it stops at the apostrophe and all subsequent fields do not get populated.

Hi James,

Thanks for the reply.

I am still seeing this behavior.  The Survey123 app on my Android device is version 3.1.159 and the Survey123 Connect application on my desktop which I used to create the form says version 3.0.142.  

I have a webmap that can be accessed via collector that shows permit locations with a popup that includes a custom URL link to the Survey123 form that I set up.  This link populates read-only fields showing several of the permit attributes on the inspection form for reference, but the comment/description field gets cut off at the first special character...

so a note that says: 

Install gas service (3'x5').

will show up on the form as:

Install gas service(3

If the issue as described by the OP of this thread has been resolved, what could be the cause for the issue on my end?

Any guidance on this would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Jared
