Editing not possible, "objectId parameter is deprecated"

DenaS — Mon, 27 Jul 2020 21:33:21 GMT

I've been running an online survey since February. I published it via the Connect app (v 3.9.120) and enabled users to be able to edit surveys after they have been submitted. Suddenly, I am receiving this warning at the top of the submitted survey when I go into edit it: "Editing is not possible because the objectId parameter is deprecated. Please use globalId instead."

Can someone explain what has changed and how to fix this?

Hi Dena,

It sounds like you have version locking (which would preserve the functionality at time of publish) off. As noted in https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2020/02/19/upcoming-changes-to-survey123-web-forms-query-parameters , the use of objectId is deprecated in favor of using globalId as the parameter to specify a record.

Thanks James. Reading the blog post you sent, I understand the premise but not how to follow through and fix the issues. Right now I use Integromat to send automatic emails to survey takers so they can go back and edit their survey. It was originally linked to the objectID in the URL ( "mode=edit&objectId"), do I now just change that to "mode=edit&globalId"? Where else do I make this change? How does this impact data collected to date based on the ObjectID?
