Survey123 relationship name in feature layer

JimmyKnowles — Wed, 13 Sep 2017 19:05:15 GMT

We're working a developing a survey in Survey123 with repeats. Everything works fine except it appears that the relationship names are incorrect. See screenshot below. Relationship_obs (1) should be related to table = obs, not table = trap and same for Relationship_trap (2). The third relationship got named correctly. It's not a huge deal because the relationships work, but it's a little confusing. Has anybody else encountered this? Is this a bug or do you think we're doing something wrong with how we're setting things up in Survey123 Connect?

Hi James,

I haven't seen this behavior before. Would you be willing to share your XLS file so that I can verify and look into the behavior?

Hi James,

The eason for the mismatch on the relationship name is because the traps repeat has a geopoint question; with ArcGIS services, tables that have geometry (called layers at the service endpoint to distinguish from tables without geometry) always come before tables that do not have geometry; the naming of the relationship isn't aware of the changed order. I'll log an issue to address this.

Hi James,

Thanks for the response and the explanation. So, a workaround for now would be to place repeats w/ geometry above any repeats w/o geometry? I can't remember if I tried this or not, but would creating a survey from an existing feature service with correctly named relationships be another workaround?

Yes, either would be appropriate workarounds.

Another workaround is to delete and recreate the relationships with the correct names through the REST API. I followed the guidance I found at the following link
