How to download all the photos only of the selected surveys and not all surveys.

Question

When a record is selected I have tried to do a File Geodatabase export and it downloads all the records not just one or two being selected.

Thank you for clarifying, Chris.

As it turns out, the selection of records on the parent layer in the Survey123 website does not currently correspond to the the related table storing the attachments. This is why the exported related table contains all attachments within the related table.

We do have an open issue for this functionality and we are looking to include it in a future release of the Survey123 website. I have added your comments to the issue and will update you when this changes.

Best,

Brandon

The script that I am currently using is the one recommended by survey123, the arcpy code is below. When I use ArcMap to pull the images from the geodatabase then I still pull all the images from all the records and not just the one selected originally.

import arcpy

from arcpy import da

import os

inTable = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)

fileLocation = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)

with da.SearchCursor(inTable, ) as cursor:

for item in cursor:

attachment = item[0]

filenum = "ATT" + str(item[2]) + "_"

filename = filenum + str(item[1])

open(fileLocation + os.sep + filename, 'wb').write(attachment.tobytes())

del item

del filenum

del filename

del attachment
