Transferring Survey123 data with clone_items() fails due to XML parsing
I'm attempting to transfer Survey123 data from ArcGIS Online to our Enterprise Portal. I have been attempting to use the "Clone_Survey_Content_Full_Folder" script linked here. It successfully transfers all data except the survey form itself. The error(s) it fails at are at the bottom of this post.
Line 14, column 61 of _replace_form's xml_string is the red line in this screenshot:
Pasting the contents of xml_string into an online XML validator confirms an error at 14:61. I assume ElementTree wants the </label> to be to the right of <label class> or to not exist at all, because doing either in said XML validator shifts to a new error at line 22:71, also caused by a an out-of-place </label>.
I'm hoping this is something resolved by changing software versions or something similarly easy.
