We are utilizing the feature report export in the survey123 website for a project to receive a word document with form answers and photos. There are generally a large number of photos in each report so the exports can get quite large.
Previously the largest of these would be anywhere between 500 - 2500kb which was manageable for output transmittal.
After the recent update, exports of the exact same reports are coming out at 18,000 - 20,000kb. This renders the file unable to be attached to other systems for transport. Nothing has changed with the feature template or the process used to generate the reports.
Attached is a photo of a report with the original file size taken a few weeks ago, and the exact same report generated today with over 8 times the file size.
Is there any way to determine what is causing these large file sizes? We did notice that if we right click the photos in the old report, the default save option was .jpg and on the new reports the default is .png. Is the update to Survey123 forcing the attached photos to convert to a larger png?
