Error 1000 from Survey123

Hi all,

I encountered an error when I wanted to submit a survey form using the Survey123 App. I have been using the form for a while and have not encountered an error previously. I received an Error Code 1000, stating "String or binary data would be truncated. The statement has been terminated.".

I referred to several links below and couldn't figure out the reason why this happened. I do not have any select_multiple questions in my form. I am using Survey123 Connect version 2.6.6 and Survey123 version 2.6.9.

I truly appreciate if anyone finds a solution to this. Thank you very much.

Hi Candice,

This error occurs when a text answer is longer than the field can store. Aside from typing in a long-is answer (the default storage size for text questions is 255 characters), this can also occur if a survey has been republished with a select one choice whose name is longer than the original choices (this scenario will be fixed for surveys published by the next release of Survey123).

Hi James Tedrick‌,

Thank you for getting back to me. So the only solution is to ensure the current choices are shorter than the previous ones before the form is republished? I duplicated the forms (using the same spreadsheet) and published it as a new survey. However, Survey123 seems to "remember" what my previous choices are in the previous survey because I wasn't able to submit the form.

Would you potentially be able to override the column "length" of the question that is storing your answer by adjusting the "bind::esri:fieldLength" to a value that is larger than the longest answer for a select_one question.

Meaning, if you have a select one question that contains an answer that is 400 characters, then you would set the "bind::esri:fieldLength" value to 425, so that selection is not truncated. This has helped me out in the past.
