Survey123 feature service in ArcGIS Pro compatibility question

AnneleyMcMillan2

Hi there, I currently have a Survey123 form published as a hosted feature service. I would like to be able to potentially edit / digitize more features into the feature service in ArcGIS Pro. Currently I'm finding that it is not honouring the domains and subtypes if I just drag the feature service from AGOL into Pro and try to edit. If I copy features to a local GDB then the domains come across, but the subtype relationships (specific dropdowns for specific answers) don't pick up. Is there a tool / script set up that will help with this? A second question is if I then need to push new features back into the service from the local geodatabase is there also a script that will help with this? Thanks in advance.

Hi Anneley,

Ah I see! I assume cascades are controlled by XLSForms functionality that only the Survey123 app can read and Pro cannot.

A workaround might be to:

download the feature service as a file gdb
manually configure the necessary subtypes and domains to match how it works in Survey123
add the new survey points to the feature class in this file gdb
add the Survey123 feature service to ArcGIS Pro
Open the Edit tab
Select all the local points that you want to add to the Online feature service and use the copy & paste functionality: Copy and paste using the clipboard—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS for Desktop

Hi Anneley,

I've just brought in one of my Survey123 layers into ArcGIS Pro and the drop downs appear for me in the Attributes pane when editing. Do the drop downs appear for you if you attempt to edit the feature service in an ArcGIS Online map viewer?

Hi there,

Yes you're right - the standard domain dropdowns do work through the editing attribute pane from the feature service (but not if you just open the attribute table from the contents). What is not working however is that we have cascading 'choices' built into our survey from the choices pane. Essentially if a certain category is picked from one question (a category field), the next question would only show a subset of options related to that picked category (a subcategory field). It is these cascading choice options / dropdowns that are not passing through into Pro. I'm not sure how they are encoded through Survey123. I originally thought they must be subtypes, but now I don't think they are because they're text fields and you can have more than one question with tailored content based on the previous field's choice.

Carmel is correct- cascading selects are an in-program filtering and aren't represented via subtypes in the Feature Service (that would limit some of the complexity that can be done with cascades).
