My organization recently updated from 2.5 to 2.9 and I'm now experiencing issues with a model I built. Specifically the "Geocode Addresses" tool. In short, what is happening is that after the "Excel to Table" tool runs the Single Line Input value in the geocode tool defaults to 'None' causing the tool to not match any addresses, this in turn causes the dissolve tool to generate an empty output. This model has been running fine every week for over a year, in fact it ran fine the day just before we updated to 2.9 it seems the changes made between 2.5 and 2.9 have caused this behavior. What Didn't Work : Setting the ExcelToTable output as a parameter in the same model as the geocoder did not fix this. Setting the output as a parameter and setting it as a precondition, and not a direct input, for the Geocoder and pathing the input from the GDB instead also did not fix this issue. Splitting the model into 2 separate models, with the first model using the Excel To Table tool with the output not being parameter, then running the other portion as a 'nested' model. This caused the Excel To Table output to be deleted after running one time. What appears to work now: Having the first model run the Excel to Table tool with the output set as a parameter to stop it from being deleted and then 'nesting' the rest of the process as a second model, preconditioned by the Excel to Table tool. Part 1. Part 2. My best guess as to why this is happening is because the Geocode Addresses tool is being 'staged' (or loaded into memory or whatever) while the Excel To Table tool is still overwriting/creating the input for it, causing it to not find the correct Single Line Input field and defaulting it to none.

So, I've been trying to replicate this and I figured out the actual problem. I had a version of the web map open, that had been opened BEFORE I created the smart form. When I made changes to the old version of the map and saved it, it saved the old version (with out the smart form JSON) and thus wiped out my smart form. I was able to replicate this, and have it roll back to an old version of the smart form and not just the default. Attempting to change layer names and pop ups in versions of the map opened AFTER the smart form was created did not result in any loss of progress. Do you think this might have been what you did as well? its a painful lesson to learn 😞

So I just spent several hours building a smart form and it turned out great. I realized I needed to make a couple tweaks to the popup in the web map, mainly the title of the pop up and remaining the table the form is consuming. Now all of my work is gone. The Smart Form has returned to its default state wiping out hours of work. Is this a bug? Is there a way to undo this? if not, is there a way to save a "copy" of a customized smart form? It seems dangerous that another member of my organization (or myself) can accidently wipe out the entire form, without any warning they are doing so, just by tweaking the pop up.

I recently downloaded a survey initially publish in 3.7 (think) and republished it in 3.9. Now that I've done this, all of the select_one questions are acting like select_multiples (See pictures below) and the Relevant logic isn't working either so the hidden relevant question are not displaying. It should be noted that in the display window of Survey123 connect, everything appears to work correctly, it even works fine in the blank webform. When attempting to edit a record (and add a new one) using a URL Such as https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/0b42c74c97d6480cbdfb27ee5dc5b20a?mode=edit&objectId=2265 This issue manifests. It also works properly if a survey already exists for the record being edited. This only happens when creating a new survey for a related record that does not have a survey already filled out for it. I have tried switching the objectId string to globalId and the problem still persists. Update : Republishing the survey from an older version of Connect, v3.7, eliminates the problem. This is still an issue as the survey is still under review an in the development process, so updates are still being made so version locking is very inconvenient.

I have a table that is feeding a dashboard. All of the information in this table is going to be updated on a daily basis, with 50+fields for 6 records updating this table manually is an incredible time sink. ArcPro allows you to "Right click>Share>overwrite web layer" with feature classes, and according to ESRI's own documentation " Overwrite a table " this functionality used to be in Arc Pro, but it appears to have been removed? The option to share a table isn't even there . The only way I've been able to do this is use "Delete Rows" and then append the new data into the table. However this does not allow for schema changes, and requires me to make the table editable in AGOL, delete rows, append new ones, and remove editing capabilities in AGOL. This is far from ideal because the table has to be public. This seems like a terribly cumbersome and inefficient way to do something that was previously supported. Does anyone have any tips, or ideas for a better work around?

Survey 123 form is attached. Was created in Survey123 Connect Ver 3.7. This survey was working several weeks ago but now when trying to open the webform I get the error : Error: Initializing form... TypeError: Cannot read property 'require' of undefined I feel like this may have to do with a recent update, but I'm not sure what changed and how to fix it.

Good morning Philip. I understand that this issue was considered "solved" nearly a year ago, however I am experiencing this issue on surveys published in version 3.7. That is, required questions, inside of a repeat, with logic in their "relevant" column are allowing NULL entries to be submitted if the question is ignored. The strange thing is, this only happens when the "relevant" logic references an integer field, at least in my survey. To clarify : If the Relevant logic references a Select_One question, it will hide or display properly, and WILL NOT allow the question to contain a null value, working as expected. However if the logic looks like this : ${Total_Res}>10000 It will display the question properly, but WILL allow the question to contain a null value, if skipped. If a value is entered and then erased it will trigger the required status. I am able to recreate this error when references integer fields other than Total_Res. The context for this is I am trying to add a confirmation question that only appears when the Total number of Residential units entered exceeds a normal amount.

Yes, I am using the web app via URL parementers. Example : https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/0b42c74c97d6480cbdfb27ee5dc5b20a?mode=edit&objectId=295 I am launching the URL via a popup in simple viewer web app, set up with a web map. the pop up is constructed as follows: Popup : https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/0b42c74c97d6480cbdfb27ee5dc5b20a?mode=edit&objectId={objectid} The feature service was first created in Arc Pro and then uploaded to AGOL, with a layer and related table. from there I used Connect and created the survey based off an existing feature class.

Ok thanks, I've attached the form.

Hi Philip, The survey was created in Survey123 Connect 3.7.62, and I am operating it through AGOL. I am encountering this error through the web form, and have experienced it on different computers. I'm not sure how to share the xlsx file, but it was created off of an existing feature class, so it may not help much. Right now our workaround is just to delete the related record and re enter it with the updated information.

Good morning, I have created a survey that creates and edits records in a related table. Part of the requirements was to allow the survey to update an existing record that was created in the survey. I have the URL working correctly so all of the information from the previous submission fills in, and I can resubmit with no changes just fine, but if I make any changes at all to the related record (handled as a repeat) I get the submission error "Operation Rolled Back". I cannot figure out what the issue might be, as the changes that trigger this can be as simple as changing a number (like a 4 to a 5) or choosing "yes" instead of "no" from choose_one question. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you all very much.

I am trying to create a survey from a feature service that has been published to our ArcGIS Server, then added as an item to AGOL. I have made sure to enable syncing and "supportsApplyEditsWithGlobalIds": true . I've also made sure that the feature service is shared. By all accounts it should work, however whenever I select it when creating a survey in Survey123 Connect, I get a general error : "Feature service error" and I cannot find any documentation on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm new to using the ArcGIS API for Javascript so I've been working through ESRI's official tutorial. I'm currently stuck on the popups tutorial, specifically the challenge to insert a pie chart. I cannot get the pie chart to show up at all, its title comes through just fine, and the table above it comes through fine, but never any pie chart. I've made sure the fields in the pie chart are included in the outFields: list, but still nothing. If anyone has any helpful advice it would be greatly appreciated. Here is the code I'm using. { type:"media", mediaInfos: [ { title: "<b>Count by type</b>", type: "pie-chart", caption: "", value: { fields: ["TOTAL_GOOD","TOTAL_POOR"], normalizeField: null, tooltipField: "Rating" } } ] }

Apologies for my confusion, I really appreciate your help. Our client wants two things from us, the first is an intake form, such as a geo form or survery 123, the other is a web viewer. The form will collect real estate information, and a point on the relevant parcel(Form Points), however for the viewer they want to see the parcel polygon in question(Viewer Polys), not just the point. This isn't difficult to do on ArcGIS Pro, I could just set up a map with the two feature services(Form Points, Viewer Polys) and the parcel polygons for our entire county, spatial join the new Form Points to the parcels, and append the result over to the Viewer Polys feature service in the viewer, I could even set up a script to do those tasks. However, I'm running into issues putting that script onto our server, so we could have it run periodically. It's starting to look like instead of just scripting the geoprocessing tools, I'm going to have to add code to login into AGOL, call down the Form Points feature service, process it, and publish the resulting Viewer Polys back to AGOL, is that right? This is usually handled behind the scenes in ArcGIS Pro so I think that's where I am getting lost.

‎02-21-2019

I guess I should clarify, in arcgis pro is a simple matter of running a spatial join and append. When publishing the script/model to ArcGIS Server the geoprocessing task will only act on static data (the way it looks when the tool was published) and the output is a rest endpoint with a random name. Even if I could figure out how to capture the output, the tool wont recognize changes to the input layer.
