Choice list_names for surveys generated from web feature domains do not work

Question

With domains generated by ArcGIS Online, choice_filter mysteriously does not work. Without a choice_filter, the choices display correctly. Here's a way to reproduce this problem: * Create a web feature layer Online. * Add two fields (example_type and example_subtype) and Create List domains for them. * Create a new survey for your feature layer in Survey123 Connect. * Add a choice_filter for example_subtype based on type. Observe that no values are displayed for example_subtype no matter type's value. * Rename example_type_ to example_type (and the associated select_one). Observe that no values are displayed for example_subtype, no matter type's value. * Rename example_subtype_ to example_subtype (and the associated select_one) Observe that values are correctly filtered for example_subtype. *edit: I originally generalized my field names to Type and Subtype, but those are keywords.

The domains generated by ArcGIS Online have hyphens in them. This Survey123 Quick Reference doesn't exactly say, "Don't use hyphens in choice list_names", but it comes close. I did a very small test where I changed one of my list_choices from "sign_dimensions" to "sign-dimensions", and the choice filter stopped working. I'll go ahead and report this as a bug.

Sorry, those weren't actually my field names and I didn't realize they were keywords. I just generalized them for the example. I used fields sign_group (type) and sign_type (subtype). I'll edit the original post.

Hi Will,

I'm confused - how are you able to create a fields with the name Type and Subtype - they are not allowed as it conflicts with an SQL keyword.  This might be causing more complex issues than what you're describing.
