Multi-Select coded values

ACCDVermont — Tue, 20 Mar 2018 20:06:03 GMT

Hi,

Using Survey123 Connect for ArcGIS Version 2.6.4. I have several Select_Multiple field types which associated choices. The survey works great however when i look at the data the code values are being displayed not the user friendly values. Is there a step that I am missing. the Select_one field types work as expected. For example in my choice list there is the following:

list_name name label

style ArtDeco Art Deco

style ArtNouveau Art Nouveau

style ClassicalRevivalNeo Classical Revival: Neo Classical

What was expected was the label value would appear to user versus the name value. Any ideas on how I can get the user friendly value to appear.

Hi there,

This is the expected behaviour with select_multiple question types. Because the values are stored as a comma separated list in a single text field, the labels can not be displayed in a webmap pop up, as there is not a one to one relationship between the values in the field, and the coded value and label created when the survey was published. This works with select_one questions as there is only a single value in the text field that matches the choice list and hence label.

I can recommend you to read this blog: https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2017/12/18/use-arcade-to-improve-survey123-other-answers-in-pop-ups

The solution proposed is for solving another problem for pop-up in ArcGIS Online viewer, but the logic can be applied to whatever need.

Cheers

Stefano
