Survey 123 custom URL- Is there a character limit?

AlinaTaus — Wed, 15 May 2019 20:01:38 GMT

Just curios, is there a character limitation when building the custom URL? My survey was working great until I tried to add another "field:" to pull one more value from my feature layer (highlighted part below) Now, when trying to submit new surveys from my Collector app my collected inspections are no longer being placed at the right location. Almost as if the part after "center=" gets ignored... This is what the url looks like when opened in a browser:

Hi Alina,

Yes, there is a limit of characters and also depends on what browser you use. See this link:

Same problem...did you get it resolved? Esri support just suggested me to duplicate all the surveys 😕 Though I think the problem is in the number of fields being pre-populated from collector. I have 4 fields + cordinates

Hi Alina,

As Shwu-Jing mentions, the URL is under the maximum length. Can you share your XLS file?

Hi James,

See attached for the XLS file. Thank you for looking into it.

I should mention this survey is strictly used in the iPad version of Survey 123. Using the 3.3 version.

Hi Alina,

I'm seeing the survey fill in properly given the link you have above. Can you share the pop-up configuration (as HTML)?

James,

Here is the HTML:

<a href="arcgis-survey123://?itemID=0fcb06e3dabf42b184c2caa3c2bc5b82&field:FACILITYID={FACILITYID}&field:TEMPDEPTHTOB={DEPTHBOB}&field:TEMPPIPEOUTELEV={PIPEOUTELEV}&field:TEMPINLETS={TOTALPIPE}&field:TEMPSTRDIAM={STRDIAM}& center={Lat},{Long}" target="_blank">Click for Inspection Survey</a>

Hi Alina,

I think I see a space after the field:TEMPSTRDIAM={STRDIAM}& component - this could be blocking parameters after this section.
