I have a very simple survey that i've created. I have added a date and time question to the survey to record the date and time that they survey was completed.  However, I don't want to give users the option to change this entry.  I have it set to default to ()now.  I'd really like this question to be hidden so the user can't see it at all. After looking for solutions, I thought the answer was to make this a hidden question.  So I opened the survey in Connect and changed the 'type' to hidden.  I also changed the bind::esri:fieldType to esriFieldTypeDate.  It did hide the field from the survey but now when I process the survey results in the data tab, there are no dates showing up.  Those entries are empty.  Can anyone tell me why the date is not longer showing and how I might fix this? ...

New to Python.  I'm attempting to create a python script that will allow a user to select a parcel (a parameter input by user), select all other parcels within a specified distance of the selected parcel, and then export the selection.  I've gotten the code to work when the user inputs one parcel id.  However, there are times when the user will need to select multiple parcels.  I've changed the parameter to multivalue so that multiple inputs are accepted but the code needs some help to be able to handle the multiple inputs.  Here's what I have: # Import system modules import arcpy import arcpy.mapping mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument ('CURRENT') df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd,"Layers")[0] lyr = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "Parcels")[0] taxid = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) # Overwrite pre-existing files arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True # Selects the parcel of interest arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management("Parcels", "NEW_SELECTION", '"TAX_IDTXT" = ' + "'" + taxid + "'") Obviously this is only a small portion of the code but this is the part that I'm struggling with.  How do I get the code to accept multiple inputs from the user?  From other forum posts people have suggested a whereClause.  I've experimented with some code below without success.  I think an issue is with the TAX_IDTXT field.  I'm not sure how to tell it to search the TAX_IDTXT field in the Parcels layer.  Any ideas? #Build the where clause whereClause = "{0} in ('TAX_IDTXT')".format("TAX_IDTXT", "','".join(taxid.split(';'))) #Select(input, output, whereClause) if int(arcpy.GetCount_management(lyr).getOutput(0)) > 0: arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management(lyr, "NEW_SELECTION", whereClause) ...
