Editing Existing Data in Survey123 Webform Errors Out When Attachment Exists

Question

I am very grateful of the recent update where users can edit existing data in Survey123 webform - thank you for this cool feature!

Below is an example URL we use to open the survey.  This works well most of the time. .

https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/[item id]?version=latest&mode=edit&objectId=[some object ID]

However, if the existing record has an attachment, when I open the form it will look like this - image question already answered.   If I edit some other questions and submit, it errors out with "cannot read property indexof undefined" error.  Only way to avoid the error message is to remove the attachment.   I wonder if anyone else had this issue and there is a fix for it.

I got so excited to know there is the file option now, but I couldn't see it in my Survey123 Connect 3.5.  So I installed the beta version, but there is no file option there either.  Then I realized it's only available if you author from the web version... Why would you play with my heart like that, James (ㅠ.ㅠ)

Hi Ahjung,

It looks like you're using an image question for file upload (which should be a 'file' question) - that might be part of the issue with the form not working properly.

Hi James,

I created a publicly shared example to show you.  I think it might have to do with the fact that attachment type is PDF. When I test it with a photo attachment, I don't see the error.
