In order to open your existing record using the Survey123 Field App, not the Web App, we have found the following method works to edit existing records: Launch S123 arcgis-survey123:// Identify the survey to open ?itemID=<item id> Specify the survey &q:globalId=<global id> Edit an existing survey &action=edit Refresh the Inbox (even though you may not even have Inbox enabled, this seems to be needed for things to work correctly) &update=true Example: arcgis-survey123://?itemID=8d1361ae1cdb48a5b3a67b2bd18e571d&q:globalId=b57f5451-7d2d-4a8a-9a48-c293e85d7543&action=edit&update=true

RE "...not giving a group a label disables the ability to collapse that group." We were doing this and then discovered it caused issues in PowerAutomate with that system not recognizing the dynamic content. Thanks @abureaux for the tip on Table-List, I may give that a try.

IDEA In surveys with pages, or which require scrolling, it would be helpful to have the ability to create a docked question or group in the field app for easy navigation. Use Case Example For example, in place of creating multiple photo questions throughout our surveys, we utilize a repeat that is available on all pages of the survey. This is done by placing the repeat outside of the various pages, either at the beginning (top) or end (bottom) of the excel sheet. screenshot showing photo repeat placement in excel. GIF showing how the repeat appears on each page. While it's nice to have the repeat on each page, and tapping the top banner navigates to the top for quick access, it can be difficult to navigate (scroll) back to the original position on the page without accidently changing a questions answer. It would be very helpful to dock a question/group so that it remains available when scrolling. I recognize the potential issue of screen-estate, and limiting the use of this to collapsible groups would be advisable. Suggestion Using the appearance column with a 'docked' option, or maybe parameters function. Optionally users could 'dock' a question/group from within the Field App.

I am seeing this issue on iPad. with version 3.16.114. However, it does not appear to be consistent. For example, the space can be seen for 'Lease' and 'AFMSS Status.' However, it does not occur for 'Meridian.' I thought that perhaps field type made a difference but 'AFMSS Status' and 'Meridian' are both dropdowns. I even made sure to check the 'Always use latest version' in case that makes a difference. No change.

Is it possible to count the number of iterations for a repeat when the expression is placed between the repeat start and end tags? Conditions: In my survey, I have a nested repeat for "lines" within a "transect." In my feature report, I would like to have a header which states the 'line number' of 'number of lines.' For example: In the feature report, the expression ${if (transect_rp | getValue:"count")>1} works properly when not within any repeat start and end tags. Once placed between the tags (see screenshot below), the count always returns "1" so that I end up with headers like "Line Number: 2 of 1." It makes sense that "1" is returned when running the count within the repeat being counted. To alleviate this, I tried using the $layers expression to change the parsing scope, but it did not make any difference. Is it possible to count the number of iterations for a repeat when the expression is placed between the repeat start and end tags? The alternative is to include the calculation in S123.

Yes please! This would help so much with troubleshooting, or even preventing issues by letting users know they are using an older version of the application. pulldata("@property",'version') or pulldata("@property",'appversion') maybe?

Our process is a little different but the concept is the same, being the user can generate the report; however, we are still using the UI. In our process, once the user submits the survey a webhook sends the user an email with a link to the Survey123 website for the selected survey and record, all they have to do is click generate. This gives them the option to make any changes to the report name or location if desired. Our issue is that the templateItemId gets dropped when the page loads. This is critical for us because some of the surveys have more than one template and the correct one needs to be selected. Do you have more than one template in your survey? If so, are you able to select the correct one? For surveys with only one template this does not cause an issue.

I love the updates and direction photos are going. I'm also glad to hear the way we set up our photo repeat is also good to go. I recently noticed our photos stopped capturing the direction after SEPT 8, 2020. I don't know if the updates caused the break or something else but after experimenting I found a solution. In the blog you reference the pulldata() function. In this example you use a calculate type. We were using an integer type, to allow users to manually correct the information when the device compass was wrong; this often occurs as you transition and the device fails to know which direction is up. After a few failed attempts at adjusting the calculation, such as trying to point to the compass, I changed the field type to decimal and rounded to 0 places. Whatever the issue was, here is an option for others who may have experienced the issue. UPDATE: I didn't notice it at the time, but I inadvertently changed the calculation from "GpsImageDirection" to "GpsImgDirection" and this was the key to the fix. Event though all the posts say to use "GpsImageDirection" it is actually "GpsImgDirection" that works now. No need to change field types, just fix the calculation.

In Survey123, the Username and Email fields populate with data when a signed in user initially creates a survey. If a survey is created with no user signed in, these fields are blank. If the survey is saved as a draft and opened after a user has signed in, the data fields remain blank. There is no way to update the data in these fields once a survey has been started. I would like to see these fields set to calculate or populate with the current signed in users data. #username‌ #email field‌

Thank you. I took a deeper look and found the issue. The users seeing this issue were all using an out of date version of the survey. We were able to confirm this because we had added a version field to the table and was able to see the correlation between those not working and those that did. FYI. The reason the State appeared in the table but not in the others is because in one of the updates the State field referenced was changed from the select_one, which is only used in the survey to a text field, which is hidden in the survey but available in AGOL. Why we are doing this longer than I want to write, but there is a reason. Issue resolved.

On rare occasions, data is submitted using Survey123 but it does not print on the Feature Report. It is also not visible on the website right hand popout displaying the survey data (see image). This does not happen all the time, just on rare occasions. In this example, one of my users reported that the State did not print on the report. When I select the record in the Survey123 website I see the data was submitted and in the table, but it does not display in the popout or on the feature report. Is this a know issue or does anyone know what could cause this to happen?

Myself and a coworker are running into connection issues also. Surveys fail to submit, cannot access the data in survey123 website or AGOL Content, publishing fails, etc.

Looks like my screen shot did not save. hope this helps.

I looked into passing data into repeats a while back and found that it was not supported at the time. I'm not sure if it has been resolved yet. Here is a snip and link to an article discussing it. https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2016/07/30/understanding-survey123s-custom-url-scheme

Hi Julien, the calculation I use is for a text field, where the users enter responses throughout the survey and then all the answers are concatenated into a single field for viewing and ease of use on a Feature Report. Here is an example of the calculation. if(${L1Note}=0,””,concat(“L1: "+${L1Note})+”\n”)+if(${L2Note}=0,””,concat(“L2: "+${L2Note})+”\n”) In this instance, 0 represents an empty text field. The "" is the DO NOTHING part of the code. So if the remark field has no entry, enter nothing, else enter the note tag, value, and a carriage return. This is repeated as needed.
