Unable to publish survey due to 400 error

Question

I am trying to add and remove some fields to an existing Survey, but I keep getting the following error on publish:

"code": 400,
 "details": [
 "Not supported. Columns cannot be added to view services."
 ],
 "message": "Unable to add feature service layer definition."

I have looked at other question, and most seem to be related to duplicate question names I do not seem to have that issue.   Everything in the documentation seem to indicate that I should be able to complete this simple task.

Likewise on hoping it is fixed in the future. Because of limitations in the web designer (like adding a z point to geopoint, etc), making edits in the XLS form is going to be likely. The web designer is not very useful if there is a one-way valve here.

The workaround with adding the field manually helps to solve the error.

But I hope this is listed as bug and will be fixed in a future release! (?)

Hi David,

It looks like this form was created in the web designer originally. If possible, I would recommend adding the question in the web designer. The issue is that the web designer creates a view for submission; currently Survey123 Connect mistakes the view for the main feature service layer. You could add the field to the main feature service through the Item Details and then publish.
