Survey123 Inbox - "attributes and geometry" editing

ChristopherCounsell

Hi,

I want to disable the geometry update editing setting so fieldworkers can't move a point. I also want to include that in the Survey they download to their Inbox to update the attributes.

Doing this gives an [object Object] error for the location address in the instance name. It also throws a 400 error tied to editing permissions in the logs. Re-enabling both "attributes and geometry" for the View editing settings allows the point to be submitted OK.

Occurs even if the point location is set to null.

Is this expected behaviour? Do both attributes and geometry need to be enabled for the Survey123 Inbox to work?

Have lodged this with support under 

ENH-000158733: Provide the ability to edit existing Survey123 records via Inbox as a non-owner/non-administrator if the feature layer has allowGeometryUpdates set to false and the geopoint question is read-only/null.

Survey123 Inbox submissions always apply an edit to the geometry, even when none is present in the survey form. So tehy require allow geometry updates in the feature service settings.

This makes the Feature Service not secure outside of Survey123, as users can go and add the service to a map or interact with the REST API to reposition the work locations. We don't want users to have the capacity to do this at all, and Survey123's requirements expose the data settings.

At some level this renders Survey123 Inbox workflows non-viable for our business needs.
