Survey123 WebApp does not honor read-only setting for file questions

Sven_Harpering — Tue, 04 Apr 2023 07:22:54 GMT

Hello everyone,

one of our customers created a survey through Survey123 Connect that has a file question built in. The customer has written the value "yes" in the read_only column. Everything looks fine in the preview. As soon as he opens the form in the web, the question can still be edited. Is this probably a bug?

My research hasn't turned up anything so far.

Best regards
Sven

Hi @Sven_Harpering

Thanks for raising this with us

I can reproduce the behaviour you are seeing. It works as expected in the Field App but not the web app. That would make me think it is a BUG but perhaps it has something to do with file questions through the web designer don't have the option to be read only. I advise you raise this through your Tech Support Team.

Thanks

I'm currently experiencing this and nothing seems to be fixing it. Was this bug ever solved?
