Multiline image question custom file name only being applied to first photo

Mark_Johnson

I created a multiline annotate question with a custom file name expression in bind::esri::parameters:

fileName=concat(${facilityid},"_", format-date(${inspdate}, "%Y%m%d%H%M%S"),"_",position(..))

using the unique asset ID, an inspection date question, and to make sure it's a unique name, the number of the image in the multiline question.

When I test the form, the first photo I take gets named correctly, like:

999_202210060912_0.jpg

but then any additional photos revert to the default naming, like:

swBasInsp_image_20221006-091341.jpg

I found another post that says "position" only works with repeats, not multiline, but then shouldn't it throw an error instead of working for the first photo?

Thanks for any suggestions

Esri Support confirmed that "position" should not be used with multiline.

Their solution:

Create a note (I used calculate) question "img_cal" before your image question with calculation column: 

 

count-selected(${IMAGE QUESTION})+1​

 

Reference "img_cal" in your image question's bind::esri:parameters file formatting:

 

fileName=concat(${facilityid},"_", format-date(${inspdate}, "%Y%m%d"),"_",${img_cal})​

 

It's working for me.

I also tried eliminating the separate question with

 

fileName=concat(${facilityid},"_", format-date(${inspdate}, "%Y%m%d"),"_", count-selected(.)+1)

 

which does NOT work.
