Appending Data from One Survey to Another

JacobBrisolin — Thu, 22 Nov 2018 22:39:56 GMT

I have a project that has been running for a little while using survey123 and i recently had to create a whole new survey to solve a few problems. I am now trying to add in the existing data to the new survey, I have exported the old data to a FGDB and i have attempted to use the append tool and am returned this error;

The field names are the same and they are going into a very similar survey so i assume the field types are the same. I am just looking for ideas on what this error could mean.

Have you tried using the append tool in Pro: Append—Data Management toolbox | ArcGIS Desktop? - you can use this against a feature service and map the fields in both data sets.

Hi Jonathan, yeah I have tried several times and I just receive an error. I am starting to wonder if its the attachments field that is causing the issue.

Hi Jacob

Could you email me the survey you used to create the new survey and the database containing the old data that you are looking to append? jhasthorpe@esri.com

I'll take a look.

Thanks

John
