Error Accessing Data from new Survey123 Form

JovanaB — Mon, 04 Apr 2022 18:37:33 GMT

Whenever I publish a new Survey123 Connect form, I am getting the same "accessing data failed" error message when trying to open the feature in AGOL Map Viewer. At first I thought it was my survey or questions/answers at hand. But even when I publish a generic form from "advanced template" with the example questions without submitting any survey responses, I am getting the same error message. I am using Survey123 Connect, version 3.14.261

Note that this error does not happen when I publish from Survey123 for Web.

Hello Jovana,

Are you services being published as http or https?

Re: Error Accessing Data from new Survey123 Form

JovanaB — Tue, 05 Apr 2022 17:25:30 GMT

They are published as https.

Are they map services or feature services?

Re: Error Accessing Data from new Survey123 Form

It is a new hosted feature service that is created to AGOL once a Survey123 form is published.

Is the new hosted feature service created from existing data?

Re: Error Accessing Data from new Survey123 Form

JovanaB — Tue, 05 Apr 2022 17:51:43 GMT

No it is being created as a totally new form and feature service.

Even when I create a new form as a blank template with the sample questions provided and no records are submitted to the form, I get the same error when trying to open up the attribute table in map viewer classic and no "show table" option is visible in map viewer.

hmmmm....the latest technical support article I see for this type of issue was posted in 1/2020 and refers to an Error: Getting Service Information. Here is the link: https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000021434

Thanks for the link Amanda! We tried submitting a form through the Survey123 app (which opens up fine, and the desktop form version works well as well!), and the same error comes up. We can see the data from the Data tab but we cannot create maps with the service feature layer due to this error.

One particular thing we noticed is that even though there are no records submitted through the form, when we try to open up the attribute table it shows there are 2,000 features through the greyed out screen of where the table should be.

Maybe try deleting all old surveys, clearing your browser cache, and maybe try different browsers?

Re: Error Accessing Data from new Survey123 Form

JovanaB — Tue, 05 Apr 2022 18:31:44 GMT

We have tried all that - deleted old surveys, created new ones, published from 3 different desktops (all on Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit), downloaded Survey123 Connect x64 from both the Microsoft Store and AGOL downloads section, and tested in Chrome and Edge. Same issue.

I am thinking this is a bug with the latest Survey123 Connect version. Thanks for your suggestions Amanda!

You're welcome! I hope you find the issue.

We are getting the same error but it's related to a published feature service and nothing to do with survey 123. We updated the data and it doesn't "stick" and when we try to access via the map viewer classic attribute table to update it throws accessing data failed like above.

We've never had this issue before and it looks like it just popped up this week.

I run into the same problem. I cannot view the Survey123 data in the online map viewer UNLESS I choose to open in Map Viewer Classic with Full Editing Control. That's great until you want to make a Web Map or use it in an application - then the data no longer appear. It is definitely a bug that needs/should be addressed. I can confirm no illegal characters in my field names as well.

Dear JovanaB

Have you found a solution?

Re: Error Accessing Data from new Survey123 Form

MahdyRmd — Wed, 29 Jun 2022 23:38:35 GMT

After you select Open in Map Viewer Classic with Full Editing Control, can the data from the 123 connect survey be displayed when creating a web application? how come it still can't be displayed on mine

@MahdyRmd - I contacted ESRI support and this is a known bug with ESRI. The only workaround I found was to publish using an earlier version of Survey123 (I used v3.3.51).

ESRI support recommended the following workaround to my issue:
"

Create a new web map and add the hosted service. If that doesn't work please try option 2.
Open the Survey123 App Launcher.

Navigate to the Collaborate > Share Survey tab
Under the 'Who can submit to this survey?', please change the sharing permissions with Everyone.
Under the 'What can submitters do?', please change the option to Only add new records.
Save the changes.

You can change the 'What can submitters do?' back to Add, update, and delete records, and the error should disappear. "

Were you ever able to resolve this issue? This started happening to me today and I can't find a resolution.

Thank you for the reply! This didn't work for me - but sharing the results with the organization created the _stakeholder layer and that layer works, although the original still does not 😞 hopefully this bug gets fixed soon!
