Html Link Causing Data Errors

JoshHabel — Mon, 23 Sep 2019 12:42:54 GMT

All,

I am having an issue with a google maps url causing data errors that is prevent editing of the survey data. The Url that i am using is so the crews editing existing data can launch google map for driving directions. I originally copied the following expression esri's support page. FAQ: Is it possible to view a geopoint location from Survey123 Connect for ArcGIS in Google Maps?

The expression in my survey form.

concat('<a href="https://www.google.com/maps?daddr=',pulldata ("@geopoint", ${Gps_Coord}, "y"), ',' ,pulldata("@geopoint", ${Gps_Coord}, "x"), concat('&ll=">Click to open google maps</a>'))

The issue seems to be the " qoute marks for "https and =">. This is causing some sort of data error that makes it impossible to edit any of the attributes for the survey. If i remove the quotes then there is no data error but then the link no longer works in the survey field app. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I have esri support looking into it.

Josh

Hi Josh,

Does the link occur in a note? If so, you can remove the name value from the note; that would prevent the link from being saved to the database.

Hi James,

I removed the note name values and it seems like it works now just fine. I don’t get the data error anymore and the links are working as they should. I’ll continue to do some more testing but I’d say that has fixed it.

Thanks,

Josh
