Survey123 web app TypeError

Martin-E1 — Thu, 16 Jan 2025 03:52:23 GMT

I have a survey that works in the Field App, but get the following error when loading from a URL in the web app.

Error:Initializing form...TypeError: t.parentsUntil is not a function

Once it loads all calculations and relevant formulas aren't implemented in the form.

I've tried these suggestions from other posts without any luck.

- I don't have any custom Javascript,

- Removed the use of columns in the layout,

- Tried deleting out the choiceList I'm using for one of the selections and this made no change so I put it back

- Updated external csv choice list to remove uppercase letters in column name

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this?

I suspected there is an error in my form, that the S123 app accepts, but the web app doesn't. The analysis and update spreadsheet tools did nothing. So I rebuilt the form line by line, and eventually found the line that caused the problem - it was a signature image that was within a group. I 'm not sure what was wrong with the line as everything seemed correct in the syntax.

If only the error checking tools would identify these things more clearly for us, as it took hours to solve this.

I also ran into this problem but it was caused by an entry in the relevant column for a group with appearance of hidden (done for testing purposes and then forgotten). Once I changed the appearance to compact (original intent), the error went away. The problem seems to have been the combination of an entry in the relevant column for a group with appearance of hidden.
