I tried doing this via a dropdown field, but it is then interpreted in ArcGIS Online as a string variable, and thus cannot be styled correctly. (And I can't find a way to convert a string field to an integer field—looked <A href="http://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/create-maps/work-with-fields.htm">here</A>.)&nbsp;</P><P></P><P>If anyone has a recommendation on how to enter a fixed-choice numeric field in Survey123 that will be interpreted correctly as a numeric feature layer in ArcGIS, I'd sure appreciate.</P><P></P><P>Regards,</P><P></P><P>Jim Proctor</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 24 Aug 2017 14:42:36 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-questions/single-choice-or-dropdown-fields-always-converted/m-p/854143#M24298 JamesProctor1 2017-08-24T14:42:36Z Re: Single Choice or Dropdown Fields Always Converted to String Variables? https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-questions/single-choice-or-dropdown-fields-always-converted/m-p/854144#M24299 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi Jim,</P><P></P><P>In Survey123 Connect, you need to set the bind::Esri:fieldType parameter to esriFieldTypeInteger - this will create an integer field for the survey. &nbsp;See the attached example.</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 25 Aug 2017 22:36:29 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-questions/single-choice-or-dropdown-fields-always-converted/m-p/854144#M24299 JamesTedrick 2017-08-25T22:36:29Z Re: Single Choice or Dropdown Fields Always Converted to String Variables? https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-questions/single-choice-or-dropdown-fields-always-converted/m-p/854145#M24300 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Great, very helpful...I shall have to learn Connect!...Regards, Jim P.</P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 26 Aug 2017 23:15:46 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-questions/single-choice-or-dropdown-fields-always-converted/m-p/854145#M24300 JamesProctor1 2017-08-26T23:15:46Z
