Survey123 Required Column on Text and Select_one

ReneAubut — Thu, 11 Apr 2019 20:22:05 GMT

the first line will not respect the REQUIRED condition while the third will. The first line is a select_one, the third line is a Text. Both have the Required column at YES and both have conditions in the Relevant column. Any clues why the select_one causes the Required to fail?

Hi Rene,

What version of Survey123 Connect and App are you using? We currently have a few known issues with required fields in version 3.3 release which we are aiming to resolve for 3.4. It is likely the issue you are seeing coudl be related to these known bugs.

Can you please provide a copy of your xlsx file so we can take a closer look?

Thanks,

Phil.

Hi Philip,

Rene logged a case with Esri Canada. I'm working with him to investigate this issue.

I was able to replicate on my end as well. It seems to occur when the question is a select_one question and it has an expression in the 'Relevant' column. Regardless whether the required column is set to 'yes' or an expression, you will always be able to send the survey without selecting an answer for the required question. I was able to replicate the behavior in another survey as well.

Connect 3.2.196

Hi Mohamad,

This is a known issue with required expressions on select one questions, currently only input questions (text, decimal, integer) are supported with required expressions due to a regression bug, which we are aiming to resolve this in the 3.4 release update.

There is also another known issue in play with Rene's survey, it has already been logged as BUG-000120023 - The required select_one questions with a 'relevant' field do not validate in Survey123 for ArcGIS. This is related to any required question which uses relevant not validating correctly, regardless of whether it uses a simple yes configuration or expression. We are also aiming to resolve this in the 3.4 release.

Thanks Rene, I got your xlsx file and did some tests.

See my response below to Mohamad, there are two known issues affecting your survey to do with required fields and expressions/validation not currently working correctly.

Hi Rene,

At this stage we are targeting the next release for mid-May, but this could change depending on how many issues are still outstanding and required to be included in this next release.

Hi Phil,

These are two serious issue that need to be fixed ASAP. Is there any way the timeline can be pushed up? Esri cannot allow this type of bug to linger. This is the most basic type of data validation that literally every single survey relies on.

Hi @Anonymous User Do you have any notice about this Bug-000120023? In our case, the question with Relevant statement and Required=Yes don't work...

Survey Connect Version 3.12.232

Hi @HaroldHerrera1,

BUG000120023 was fixed in the 3.5 release. It is possible the issue you are seeing above is a slight variation of this issue, or there is another cause.

Can you please share your xlsxform so we can take a closer look - also if you use any CSV or media folder files, also please provide them too.

Regards,

Phil.
