Survey123 to Survey123 data append

AroldoRocha — Tue, 28 Jul 2026 16:46:34 GMT

Hello everyone!
I'm using ArcGIS Pro 3.4.5 and I'd like to know if anyone can give me some references, and even an example, of how I can append data from a Survey123 form (it contains some repeats) to another survey that basically has the same structure and attribute names - the difference is that the target survey will have some additional attributes, not present in the first one, and which will certainly be empty.

I think a challenge lies in preserving the Global-ids in the destination tables, to preserve the relationships of the repeats.

Hi @AroldoRocha ,

I would recommend using the Append tool with the Preserve Global IDs option - https://doc.esri.com/en/arcgis-pro/latest/tool-reference/environment-settings/preserve-globalids.html

Thank you @JamesTedrick, I wasn't aware of that parameter.
