Favorite answers not filling relevant questions

Question

Hi,

Using Survey123 Connect 3.14.256 and survey123 Field App 3.14.255

When I set favorite answers on a survey and paste them on a new survey, the questions that are subject to a relevant formula are not filled in with my favorite answers.

If I paste my favorite aswers a second time, all fields are filled in according to what i saved as favorite.

Has anything changed in a version that could cause this behaviour ? Or has it always been like this ?

Thank you !

Hello @Polesig,

This is a known issue on our end and we have an internal issue to fix it. The change came with a significant overhaul of how expressions are handled to better improve app stability with the 3.14 release.

Please feel free to reach out to Esri Technical Support and they will be able to assist with attaching you to an official BUG to track the status of the issue.

Hello @MFFPUSER,

Unfortunately we don't have a timeline on the fix at this time. The issue has been logged as BUG-000150073, please feel free to reach out to Esri Technical Support and they will be able to attach you to the defect so you can track progress on the behavior.

The workaround we've identified at this time is to select "Paste answers from favorites" a second time and that should populate the relevant questions.
