Hey @ashcom, Can you please verify what version of the ArcGIS API for Python you are using? @CoMAGOL_ADMINISTRATOR is correct regarding no method in the Python API to create a new survey from existing feature layer. Since there are considerable form configuration options beyond just mapping field types from a feature layer to question types in a survey your script would need to configure the XLSForm how you need. Including things such as appearances for questions, calculations, relevant logic, etc. Then pass that configured XLSForm into the publish() method. Would you be able to provide additional information on how you would like to use a “create-from-feature-service” method in the Python API? Would you want a submission_url and form_id as input parameters for the create() method and an output from the create() method being a barebones XLSForm that does field type to question type mapping like creating from a feature layer in Connect? Regarding the error: { "<PARENT_TABLE> Errors": {}, "<CHILD_TABLE> Errors": { "Field Errors": [ "Field not found in the feature service for the globalid question.", "Field not found in the feature service for the parentglobalid question." ] } Assuming you are using a version of the Python API greater than 2.4.0 and are seeing this error, this would be a defect in the publish() method. It looks like your feature layer has a related layer/table that either has different field names for the global ID based relationships or does not use global ID based relationships. Would you be able to share a bit more about the schema of your feature layer?

Hey @DouglasMarshall1, Try: <date_field> = timestamp 'yyyy-mm-dd HH24:mm:ss' This came from https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/services-reference/enterprise/query-feature-service-layer/#date-time-queries which is the REST API operation the pulldata("@layer") function is using. I would also suggest testing your where clause using the query operation on the REST API directly to see if it works there.

Hey @TroyWilten, Was the last time you republished the survey from Connect a week and a half ago? If you retry publishing the survey again today do you see the same behavior? If so can you select the "Files" button in Connect and open the .webform file. Is there an error message in the .webform file?

‎04-15-2026

Hey @Teresa-AZ, Please see the Feature layer requirements Survey123 documentation topic. Survey123 does not support traditional versioning and does require a GlobalId's to be enabled on the feature class. An alternative would be to consider using ArcGIS Field Maps which has a number of form design elements to assist with field data collection

Hey @EthanMcGhee10, Thank you for raising this! The `height` parameter in the body::esri:style column isn't something on the immediate roadmap. That said I have brought the feedback in internally for review. @Neal_t_k is spot on the "large map" tool in the geo* question is the best workaround for now, and logging an ArcGIS Survey123 Idea with your use case will help track progress on the request.

‎04-15-2026

Hey @HariharNepal, Additional to @Neal_t_k's suggestion, you can change the WHERE clause in feature_object_ids = i.query(where="1=1", return_ids_only=True, order_by_fields='objectid ASC') for j in range(len(feature_object_ids['objectIds'])): to be a specific survey. `where=1=1` will loop through all the records in the feature layer and download attachments for each one. If you only want one specific survey record you could set the where parameter to something like: where="objectid=1" - this will return just the survey record whose objectid is equal to 1 where="field_name = 'some_value'" - this will return zero to multiple surveys who have 'some_value' set in the attribute field called field_name You can get really intricate with the where expression, for more info see the Query (Feature Service/Layer) REST API doc topic.

Hello @ChandraLala, In Connect please select the Files button and open the file in your content folder called <yourSurveyName>.webform If the contents of your webform file is a JSON error message that says "Error: Entity expansion limit exceeded: #### > 1000", this is a known issue with the 3.25 release and is logged as BUG-000183859. If this is also what you see on your end please feel free to reach out to Esri Technical Support so you can be attached to the defect and track progress.

Hey @IDEMuniMendoza, Thank you for verifying you're seeing the issue in the web app! For the first issue where you're not seeing the calculations run I see you commented on https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-questions/webforms-not-running-calculations/m-p/1692926#M65730 I think this is the same issue. If you try setting calculationMode=always under the bind::esri:parameters column for your "f_sin" and "f_act" questions does that work around the issue? On the second issue of data not submitting to the related table I don't believe I'm reproducing what I interpret as the scenario. I have a hosted feature layer with a parent layer and 3 related tables and when I create my survey based on that hosted feature layer the schema I see in Connect is: Which I believe is equivalent to your image 2. I removed table1 and table3 from my form design only leaving table2 and published the survey: When I submit a record in the Survey123 web app I do see the related records come through in table2 A couple of things to cross reference: How are your relationships configured? Are they GlobalID to GUID or GUID to GUID relationships? Are you using a hosted feature layer, or a non hosted feature layer from ArcGIS Enterprise?

‎03-27-2026

Hello @IDEMuniMendoza, Can you please verify when you are submitting surveys are you using the Survey123 web app or the field app? On the second issue noted regarding the submission of related records is your survey configured with a submission_url?

‎02-27-2026

Hello @ArthurMartinez, Did you author the survey in the Survey123 web designer or Survey123 Connect (desktop application)?

‎02-27-2026

Hey @RyanMullee, Check out the Hydrant Inspection or Manhole Inspection for ideas on how to model your data schema. They both follow a similar idea where irrigation heads are hydrants/manholes in the samples and their repeats are equivalent to incident reports. This UC presentation on Modeling Inspection Workflows may also be helpful. Additionally while the terminology in this Tech Support KB article is quite dated the concept of the workflow is still relevant and very powerful.

Hello @TariqKing, If you are using a grid layout in one of your groups this is a known defect and is logged as BUG-000177843. You can work around this defect by downloading your survey in Survey123 Connect and moving all the generated_note_* note questions that are at the top of the survey worksheet to the end of the worksheet beneath all other questions. You will then need to republish the survey from Connect. Please note republishing the survey from Survey123 Connect will prevent future edits from the Survey123 web designer.
