Updated Survey Questions and Now Have 2 Hosted Feature Layers

Question

I needed to update my existing survey to help clarify some of the data I had been receiving. Before I published the survey again, I had completed the backup/export of existing data as suggested. Once the new survey had been published, the name of my hosted feature layer had changed. I imported the existing data back into the new(-ish) survey and thought everything had worked as expected.

But, now I have two hosted feature layers in the same survey folder in ArcGIS Online. When I look at the Survey123 site, it only shows the data for the new HFL. When I look at the old HFL in AGOL, I can see that data is still being submitted to it.

How did I end up with a new HFL with a new name? How can I turn off the ability to submit to the old HFL without turning off the ability to submit to the updated survey?

Hi April

This is in Connect – open up the survey xls and go into the settings tab. You will then see the column and will need to add the service item to it, in the format of: https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/items/5c312f83a4d4420ba1d70441b9986eb3

Thanks

I'm not able to find this part:

"What you need to do is update the submission url in the new form to point to the new feature service. The submission_url column in the settings tab of the survey form defines an existing feature service where your survey responses will be submitted. You need to provide the URL of the new feature service item (not the service url) and then republish."

Would I look in Survey123 Connect or somewhere in ArcGIS Online? I'm not able to find a settings tab that asks for a submission_url anywhere.

I am afraid that I am going to need some additional assistance. I was poking around and now I seem to have 4 hosted feature layers in the Survey folder....
