Send latitude and longitude from a text input to use as location, rather than using map input

Hello,

In the web version of Survey123, is it possible to use the user input X and Y coordinates from a single line question as the geolocation, rather than clicking on a map as the input?

For example, if I have two questions:

Latitude:
Longitude:

Can the answers to these be use as the in put for location for that record?

Thanks,
Stephen

I think the best and easiest way is just type them into the map. That way the map is correct and it all just works.

You could also have text fields and then a calculated value on the geopoint but I think the refresh button thing would be confusing. See here for more info on that https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-blog/survey123-tricks-of-the-trade-working-with-uk/ba-p/1038895 Would need to test.

Hope that helps
