Survey123 critical error when publish from connect to portal for ArcGIS

Question

Greetings,

I have a survey with 16 repeats distributed into different groups, I am trying to publish it on the portal but I am getting a confusing error message "Error 524-Critical Error". Noting that I tried to open the log files to investigate this case but I didn't find any error message else.

PS: I tried to publish it on AGOL and all works fine. The issue remains with different surveys, not in specific ones but not with connect surveys.

Please advise.

There is no limitation at the level of repeats number but a huge number of complex repeats means that the server needs much time to create the form and because the server sends a 524 error which is a timeout error means that the server is maybe slow and can't create this complex form in a specific time.

I don't know if there is a predefined timeout duration on the survey to be created.

I don't think this is the issue, since I tried to publish the same survey to another portal-same version and it was successfully done.

noting that after looking at the survey123 documentation I didn't find any limitation on the number of repeats.

After logging the publish issue, I can see the error message is returned from addToDefinition request, when trying to enable editor tracking.

@Richard_Purkis  please advise if there is any limitation.

thank you @MohamadFneich

Hello hanine,

I think the problem occurs because there is a huge number of complex repeats.

try to merge or reduce the number of repeats to be less than 12.
