Connect: Renaming survey from Details Page should rename everything related to that survey

AlfredBaldenweck

We frequently run into the issue of making a survey, publishing it, and then finding out that the survey is named "Form 6" in the portal. As you can imagine, a non-descriptive name makes management more difficult.

A suggested workaround is to use the "Details" page in Connect to rename the survey. If done before initial publication, this will correctly name the Portal Folder, Survey Form Item, Webmap, and Hosted layers/view. If done after initial publication, this will only change the Form Item.

Neither will change the Windows folder in ...\user\ArcGIS\My Survey Designs, which means that managing those folders is difficult if, for example, you have deleted the survey and want to get all related files off your machine (since deleting the survey doesn't delete the folder off Windows).

I would like renaming the survey via the Details Page to rename everything associated created with the survey upon publication. At a minimum, every portal item and folder, but having it rename the folder and its contents (XLSX, etc.) in Windows would be nice as well.

This becomes an issue for me as well. I will often work on designs and tests of Surveys and call them "Survey XYZ BETA" or something so there isn't confusion on which version should be used. Sometimes I want to make that form "Live", so I'll remove all Beta references from the form name and details, but the spreadsheet and the AGOL folder are now, forever, named "Beta". Also, if there is a reason why it doesn't change all the names - maybe an option or tool to change all the names when needed would be good.

I think that when you're making a new survey it doesn't have a default name and the title should be a required field. So that if it's empty, it forces the user to name it.

Renaming, then publishing, a Survey from the "Details Page," in Survey 123 Connect should rename all related items, files, folders, etc. Not just the survey form item in the portal.
