How to create 2 surveys with one hosted feature layer in S123

Daniel_Quinn — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 23:37:02 GMT

I created a survey in S123 (Survey A) and published it, creating the corresponding hosted feature layer. I need to create, copy, or clone a second survey in S123 (Survey B) to contribute to the same hosted feature layer as the first survey (Survey A) without using Survey123 Connect. Survey B would have the same questions/schema. I know this would be easy to accomplish using S123 Connect, but the ideal outcome for this situation would not involve S123 Connect. I appreciate any thoughts or ideas that could help address this issue. Thanks!

I haven't tried this, but the ArcGIS API for Python has a function called clone_items() which will let you create clones of some types of ArcGIS Online content. If you used that function against your form, you might get an identical clone that writes to the same hosted feature layer.

It might also clone the underlying hosted feature layer (in which case this won't work for you), but I don't think so.

Edit to add - clone_items() is usually used to copy content from one AGOL org to another but I think you can clone within a single org as well.
