Edit existing data in Survey123 Form from Collector using custom url?

SuddhaGraves — Thu, 22 Mar 2018 03:42:54 GMT

Hi all,

When you launch Survey123 from Collector using the custom url, can you make the form load with existing data vs creating a new record? When I launch Survey123 using the custom url, it appears to be creating a new record. However, I am looking to create the record in Collector, but then have the capability to edit the existing record using Survey123. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards,

Suddha Graves

Hi Suddha,

Currently there isn't a way to open Survey123 in edit mode via URL.

Hi, I'am also looking this functionality to edit existing inbox data via URL scheme. I read all related threads and found many users periodically asking this since 2017. Bit strange this still not implemented.

The only way to open Survey123 to an editable record is with the web form.

Sorry, I meant to reply to your question. Check out this post -- the web form will open to a record, called by objectID, and allow you to edit. https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2019/05/24/survey123-tricks-of-the-trade-editing-records-in-a-web-form

Hi, I was looking at the documentation and it seems like this should be possible now, although I haven't been able to get it to work.

The URL I used (that didn't work):

arcgis-survey123://?itemID=<the survey item ID>&q:GlobalID=175cdb66-c666-48c4-85c5-c7aa96609724

(I also tried it with the object id)

Has this functionality been added yet? If so how do I get it to work?

I'm wondering the same thing, I tried this yesterday and got it to open the record in edit mode but it still created a new feature when Submit was pressed.

Also have tried this and been struggling with it.

Thought maybe just needed to change the URL so it is in edit mode but that does not look like it has helped:

Updated to the latest Survey123 connect client as well but that seems to not have helped.

@JamesTedrick - Are the above posts a potential workable solution to open Survey123 to an existing record, or has this feature been implemented in another way?

Follow up question: Is there any workaround to view image attachments within the inbox? Perhaps via a url or any other option you've come across?

Hi James,

Has this been added yet? See other replies below that seem to indicate it should be possible.
