Update List of values on survey xls and feature layer

JeffEisman — Fri, 02 Aug 2019 13:35:48 GMT

What is the best practice or workflow to update/add to dropdown list values in Survey123. I updated them in the xls form and republished the survey. Those update show on the field app but not on the feature service. I know can edit the list of values on the feature layer data tab, but is updating both separately the best solution?

Other than know all the choices form the creation of the survey, what is the best way to make sure these are in both?

Besides, you could use survey123 website to create drop down list question, and this will create a domain list in feature service and will be updated when you add new choice and re-publish.
