Multiple Select Field — How to change the auto-generated picklist coded values (replace underscores with spaces)

I've used the Survey123 wizard to create a survey in AGOL. The survey has a Multiple Select field. I've entered picklist text values.

Outside of Survey123, such as in Experience Builder, the picklist values are a comma-delimited list, with underscores instead of spaces.

As far I can tell, the Survey123 picklist isn't a true CV domain in the feature layer; the picklist seems to only live in the Survey123 form.

Question:

I want the picklist values in the layer to be easier to read in Experience Builder. Is there a way to edit the "coded values" by replacing the auto-generated underscores with spaces?

I assume this should the same for feature service created through the Survey123 assistant: In AGOL, go to the feature layer, click the data tab, then the "fields". Select the field with the list options. You should be able to edit the domain from there.

Thanks for your reply.

It says the Domain = None.

Interesting. Don't know how it would work, I don't use the web builder, but you could try building the domain and see if it is reflected in the form...

I think if you click "Get Started" it might convert the choices into a domain list and allow you to update the Name labels to remove underscores.
