Rename files submitted through survey

Question

I need to upload multiple image files to an existing survey after the form is submitted. I would like to have the files be renamed based on a question (${SampleID}) in the form. Because I have multiple images for each individual record, the files question type is much more efficient. However, the functionality of the image question's ability to rename uploaded files is much preferred for downstream organization.

Is there a way to rename files uploaded using the file question?

Hi @LMedeirosUI ,

Just clear the grid settings in the style column on the settings sheet does not change any behavior of your survey but only the questions layout.

Here is a comparison doc of general features between the field app and the web app: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/survey123/desktop/create-surveys/quickreferencecreatesurveys.htm . Hope this helps.

Hi @ZhifangWang - If I were to change the grid theme to dynamic, would it affect anything else in my form? Sorry, I don't know enough about the different platforms and theme- versus dynamic-grid to evaluate my own survey. If there is documentation (sometimes ESRI has tables for comparison of features that work in the Field vs Web app or other settings) that would help me out, please direct me to it.

Thanks, Lea

Hi @LMedeirosUI ,

Thanks for sharing the information and the XLSForm file. The web app issue you encountered should be caused that the web app does not support the grid theme (theme-grid in the settings sheet) currently.

I've added your case to our backlog issue for the field app. Please also feel free to raise an enhancement ticke to Esri Support Service to prioritize the work.

Thanks,

Zhifang
