Multiple Geometry Features in Survey123?

Question

I am creating a survey where it would be extremely helpful if the users could add/draw data for multiple feature layers from a web map (i.e. one question drawing a polygon for perimeter and another question drawing polygons for structures). When I try to do this in XLS I get an error message when I hit publish that only one geometry is allowed per table. Is there any way around this?

Phil - Could you elaborate on "you have to pull the data out into stored questions"?

I've got a survey set up with three geometries - two are set to null so it will publish - but I'd like to understand how to preserve the two extra geometries when they get used.

Hi Philip,

Thank you, that's what I thought. Map Viewer Beta is helpful in adding multiple features and completing the form with feature attributes right away, though there is no way to add an attachment, even though it's in the layer schema. May be they'll fix it in later updates.

Hi @YuliaMamonova,

No, it is not possible to create multiple polygons in one map question, without a repeat. Each repeat record is a new feature in that layer, which means you need to open the map question related to that repeat record. As Survey123 is form centric based around survey forms and related records, you are creating/editing individual records, not creating/editing many feature on a single map.

Regards,

Phil.
