Is it possible to create a autocomplete textbox from the results of a web service?

Question

Hi,

I have just started playing around with Survey123. What i would like to do is allow the user input a postal code within a single text box, that postal code is sent to the web api and all the matching records are then shown within a dropdown menu, which they then select the appropriate address. Is this possible in Survey123 version 3.12?

thanks

If you want easy and want it to work offline you could use a CSV files of zip codes instead.   select_one_from_file with autocomplete would work great here.

Hi @HalilSiddique

Thanks for sharing here! I think you still need version 3.13 to fulfill the functionality. The 3.13 version is currently available on BETA website: https://survey123beta.arcgis.com/.

If you want to search the postal code in your own feature layer, you can use the search appearance:

If you want to search the postal code using a geocoding service, you can see this article for details:
