Issues with updating Geopoint Coordinates using Geocode Field

Question

Hi Geonet,

Is there a way to update a geopoint location using a "geocode" field from the inbox (I'm using existing feature service)? I have also additionally x,y coordinate fields that pull the info from geocode field using pulldata function.

Submitting a new survey works without a problem populates the fields with the x/y coordinates and add the point where it needs to be but if I were to update the existing feature from the inbox, geocode fields update itself without a problem, but the actual location of the point doesn't change and additionally x,y coordinate fields which pull the x/y info from geocode doesn't update with the new address as well.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Efe

Hello @EfeU,

Since you are editing existing data you will likely need to add calculationMode=always in the bind::esri:parameters for the X/Y question(s) as well as the geopoint question. The way Survey123 behaves by default is it won't automatically recalculate a perceived user entered value as we are not sure if the correct value is what is recalculated or what the user had entered.
