Error creating Survey123 form from multilayer hosted view feature service when target layer is not first

AbinayaAS — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 14:47:39 GMT

I’m trying to create a Survey123 form using the ArcGIS Python API(version 2.4) from a hosted feature service view from AGOL that has multiple layers.

The service view layers are A, B, C. My XLSForm schema corresponds to A, and form_id = A. It works when A is the first layer in the service, but fails if A is the second or third layer, showing:

I expect Survey123 to allow any layer in the service as the form’s target, not just the first.

Has anyone encountered this? Is there a workaround to use a non-first layer for form submission?

All the best,
