(EDIT: I submitted this job again and it finished in under 5 seconds, so this first job below is just "stuck" somehow.  I would think it would timeout and fail at some point but it has not yet, 25 hours in).   I have been experimenting with the reporting API.  I successfully created a summary report template which runs quickly from the UI, and also have had success running it via the API.  This is a very simple summary report on 466 records (just returns record count), which produces a small pdf file (36k). However, on a new submission via API for the same summary template, the job is stuck at "pdfConverting" and has been now for 45 min. I have not submitted another job, just checking to see if this is common, or perhaps just have a stuck job that I should leave alone. Doesn't seem to be any reasonable timeout, shouldn't this just fail at some point?   You can see below that this job started at 10:12 am (EDT), it is now 11:00 am (EDT). I welcome any thoughts.

Survey123 Connect 3.12.232 (win64) I created a survey, pointed the map to a (org) web mercator basemap.  I am trying to edit default extents for the map display in the "map" tab of connect. First, it has grabbed the wrong latitude.  the pic below shows the latitude text as 4.2xxx, but this is Boston Massachusetts, so really it is 41 or 42 degrees.  So the map is sort of right, but the text is wrong. Second, at times, I can only move the map with my mouse "left and right" and not "up and down".  If I jiggle with zoom levels and typing in lat/long  I can generally get it to let me move it correctly (I have not figured out how to consistently fix that).     Once I get things corrected here (the map centered in Boston, with reasonable zoom levels) it looks like the pic below. All good.     The next problem though is when I publish it and open it in a browser to fill out, the map is zoomed in to the max, which is not what I set in Survey123 Connect. Here is the browser map (from my windows pc, but looks same on my iphone in a browser): Any idea why it is showing up so zoomed in? Appreciate any ideas. Tom S.   ... View more

I have a survey which captures a datetime.  When entering data via the browser, or even editing/viewing an existing survey entry via the browser (mode=edit&globalId=xxx, or even mode=view), I see a nicely formatted split date/time display. In this survey the datetime field is not read-only: If I have another survey pointed to this same underlying dataset and in this survey the datetime field is marked as read-only (i.e. using a dashboard to edit a survey entry, with some fields r/o), I see this: Which is a very unfriendly way for a casual user to view the datetime field. Is there any way I can force a better format when in read-only mode for this field?   Thanks, Tom S. ... View more

Webform issue with 'draft mode'.... I have a survey which has repeats in it.  In those repeats are a series of integer questions.  In the survey's settings I have turned on draft mode. When I fill out a repeat in my Windows browser (tried chrome, firefox), kill the survey and come back, the draft mode feature works well.  I see all my numbers back in the repeats.  It remembers them correctly. When I fill out a repeat on a Mac (Safari, Chrome), when I come back to my survey where I have previously entered numbers in the repeat, those numbers are not shown at all.  HOWEVER, I enter one number in a field and then all the other fields repopulate with their old numbers.   It's very odd behavior.   Has anyone seen anything like this?

Clicking on the map or putting in an address (optionally) places a pin on the map, in the right place.  But if you zoom out, that pin does not stay in the right place. Here's an example - pin located - green arrow pointing to pin: now I zoom out a bunch (a giant bunch to illustrate clearly) and the pin is no longer in the right place. It's way out of place here.

I have an integer field called num1. Has a default of zero.  But you can erase that zero and leave the field blank.  This blank field is not considered an integer (kills calculations for instance). I want to put a constraint on it so you don't leave it empty (i.e. no number, no text).  I can't seem to do it. I have tried testing to see what this "empty" integer field is interpreted as, and I can tell you this: ${num1}=''   is FALSE ${num1}=NaN  is FALSE number(${num1})  is BLANK string-length(${num1})  is 0 string-length(number(${num1})) is 0 string-length(string(${num1})) is 0 here is the survey with the num1 field empty: and here with the num1 field with a valid number: I tried using any of these in a constraint (e.g. string-length(.)>0 ) but that is ignored, or not seen as an issue as it happily lets me submit with this blank integer field. Is there a way to constrain it?   I have worked around it by using a calculation in another field, but was hoping I would not need to do this. survey123 xlsx attached. Thanks, Tom S. P.S.  ${num1}=null is FALSE, ${num1}=undefined is FALSE as well. ... View more
