Create a table or question with multiple text answers?

Question

My team and I are trying to transition our botany data sheets to use on iPads. We have several questions formatted as tables, including one for recording species, where our columns are species, height class, % cover, and vegetation type. Is there a way to format this type of question on Survey123? If so, can you add lines out in the field so you can have as many or as few rows as you need? If not, is there a way to link a simple table within a different app or something?

Yes and no.  You can create grids now that have multiple fields on one row.  https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-blog/survey123-tricks-of-the-trade-groups-grids-and-pages/ba-p/895267

But you cannot grow the repeat down yet.  You must use the plus arrow to add each one.

Hope that helps.

Sorry I cannot.  But all you do is start a group and give that group the total width you want.  Then each field you can tell it how much of that width to use.  Each time you hit the max width you get a new line.

Use the appearance column for this.

Here is the width at 14 then a 2 + 12 = first group, 2 + 4 +4 +4 is second group and so on.

Hope that makes sense
