Bug issue with Favorites

RonKnepper — Thu, 23 Feb 2017 00:01:19 GMT

Ok we are finally getting some good field testing with this for a project. Collected about 200 results. In collection I came across a bug/issue. When you mark a survey as a favorite it stores all of that favorite info. The next survey if you populate using the stored favorites it populates everything including photos. If you delete a photo and that favorite has not been communicated it removes the photo from your current survey but it also deletes the photo from that favorite survey as well. When you try to communicate it stalls because it is trying to send a photo on the favorite that no longer exists. If you delete in the new survey it should not delete from your favorite as well. I don't think retaking the photo replaces the favorite photo but I haven't been able to check this.

As a side note, it would be great to store a partial survey as a favorite. In collecting I have about 75% of the data as the same but the other 25% is different. I would like to only store the 75% and have the remaining blank

Hi Ron,

Thanks for reporting the issue. I was able to replicate the behavior and have logged it as an issue to be addressed.

On partial favorite question support, can you log it at ideas.arcgis.com? Thanks!

Hi Ron,

Any idea when this will be corrected/changed? I would love to use favorites but not when it causes issues with the original data

Hi Ron,

This was addressed with the 2.4 release of Survey123, released on Tuesday.
