Search Appearance Dynamic Choice Lists Clearing Values When Navigating Repeats

I'm experiencing an issue where dynamic choice lists that are being populated using a hosted CSV with the Search() appearance are deleting their contents when navigating between repeats.

I first thought it was the fact that I am also using pulldata(@layer) on those fields to fetch existing data, based on scanning a unique barcode. After extensive troubleshooting this over the past week I've found that it seems to be an issue with search() appearance itself. I believe what is happening is the lists are being fetched every time you navigate to a new repeat record and this is causing dependent fields below (i.e., choice filters) to clear their contents as well.

Is this a known issue, or is there a known work-around? The closest I've found is the following post: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-questions/search-appearance-inside-repeat-does-not-save/m-p/1378003#M54529. I implemented the fix suggested by Allard last night, did extensive testing in connect and everything seemed good. This morning I grabbed one of our iPad Pros and found the behavior persists, as if nothing I changed in the xlsx the night before made a difference.

Any help would be very appreciated!

Bump.

Does anyone know a work around to keep fields dependent on a search() appearance from clearing when navigating repeats?
