Annotate different web maps in single survey?

COSPNWGuy — Thu, 04 Aug 2022 05:32:15 GMT

Simple question. I'd like to build a survey that allows users to annotate different maps (pre-built web maps with different layers), based on their answer to a previous question. Is this workflow possible? If so, how? It seems like you can only annotate image questions, and while you can define the body::esri:style method as "map", you can't define what map to use.

In the documentation for body::esri:style it says you can use

map=mapID

It also says you can use multiple methods in body::esri:style such as

backgroundColor="red" borderColor="blue"

However in practice it does not seem to work with

method=camera,browse,map map=mapID

or any other combination.

It causes some sort of undisclosed error that loads none of your linked basemaps or defaults the the ESRI Topo or whatever the default map is. You can also load other ESRI basemaps.

Seems like a bug or perhaps they haven't implemented multiple body::esri:styles for annotations.

If you just use
method=camera,browse,map

the user can choose the basemap from the basemap gallery button

Tagging @IsmaelChivite, Survey123 legend for any advice on this one.

I also noticed that eventually all custom basemaps stop loading eventually (after the 3rd or 4th time) unless you force quit S123 and restart it. Probably not the kind of workflow you would want to instruct field crews on.

That could be all that's going on in my first reply, that the maps just eventually don't load.

@IsmaelChivite

Wondering if there's any help on this. Different maps still aren't behaving properly.
