This year marks an important milestone for ArcGIS Survey123. Last month, Survey123 turned 10 years old, with its first release dating back to June 2016. Over the past decade, Survey123 has grown into a complete, form-centric data collection system used by organizations around the world. With the July 2026 release,…

Unable to submit survey after manually moving location - Survey123 Connect
Hi there My survey form enables a user to capture their locality using the built in GPS, or they can move the location to where the feature recorded was actually located. This has worked well for several years. However of late this functionality is no longer working. Capturing the locality with GPS works fine, but if the…

Build a Survey123 MCP Server for AI-Assisted and Accessible Form Completion
I would like Esri to provide a supported Model Context Protocol server for ArcGIS Survey123 so AI agents can help people understand and complete published surveys through a natural conversation. Public example: accessible 311 reporting A public 311 service request is a good example. Instead of requiring a resident to…

Survey123 Preventing Duplicate Entries
I have been working on a data collection survey where location is grabbed at the beginning of the survey. To ensure that multiple entries aren't entered I tried to find a good method to constrain the geopoint entry. I found a few threads on here about pulldata("@layer",… I tried many variations of it but none of them…

Survey123 Error (ArcGIS Online) - Cannot get necessary XForms file for survey
Hi everyone Has anyone gotten this error before? I'm using the Survey123 web app in ArcGIS Online and it's happened twice to two different surveys I created. Basically, I create the survey, publish it, submit a few sample surveys and then when going to the Analyze tab, it gives me this error. Also, the Overview tab just…

Update External Select (CSV) from Power Automate
I'm curious if others have similar and more refined workflows. But to start things off, I'll show off what I have. What are External Selects? Survey123 Tricks of the Trade: External choice lists Other guides to automate this update? There are a few kicking around. The above blog post links to a Python solution. There is…

Webhooks (Make) and repeats
With the federal regulations coming on public entity digital accessibility, I have been working to modify the GIS Request Management Solution into a digital accessibility reporting tool for anyone who accesses our digital content to use to report problems. The included Survey123 form for updating requests has a repeat…

Webhooks with attachments
It's my understanding that with the upcoming new Survey123 applications, that the Make (fka Integromat) Survey123 trigger will be going away, and it is not planned to be replaced. Esri staff at UC suggested I migrate to using the Field Maps trigger, but attachments are a crucial part of a lot of our surveys, and they don't…

Survey Report in Repeat Section Not Pulling in Value
I am using Survey123 Connect version 3.25. I have a survey report that is supposed to pull in 3 values that are created within a repeat section: Range (FT), Section Code, Description. For some reason when I run the report, the Range value is always blank. I have tried using both ${range_ft} and ${begin_ft} - ${end_ft} to…

Survey submission doesn't seem to be announced by NVDA (screen reader)
I'm using NVDA to test the accessibility of a survey. Once you click the "Submit" button, there doesn't seem to be any confirmation of the user's responses being submitted. NVDA actually doesn't read out anything at all on the "thank you" screen? I'm left wondering how users unable to see the screen would know that their…

Survey123 Field/Mobile App File Size Limit Increase
At present, both apps are limited to 10 MB per attachment in a survey. Considering how commonly larger files are used today, it may be worth evaluating whether that threshold should be increased. Would it be possible to review and potentially raise the limit?

Report Generation: Is there a practical limit to how many reports can be generated?
I'm trying to automate report generation via Python, and I have it largely working, except for I've gotten timeout errors. I figured it was because I was feeding it too many reports (accidentally was feeding 24 reports, whoops) so I chunked it down to 5 at a time. That worked, but then I did another run on the same data…

Does fileName parameter work for file question types?
I'm trying to figure out if I'm doing something wrong or if the fileName parameter that works for image questions does not work for file type questions. In bind::esri:parameters I have it set as fileName=${filename}. This works with an image question, but leaves the existing filename when it is a file type question. The…

Error when publishing "Unsupported relationship type"
Hi, I'm trying to use Survey123 Connect to create a new survey from a feature service. The feature service is a geodatabase with 3 tables and established relationships between them — 1 parent table with 2 child tables. I created the geodatabase and set the relationships in QGIS before exporting to .gdb and uploading into…

Generate report in the Field App after survey is submitted
A user of mine asked about this today and I figured I'd share. He has a completed survey on his tablet and asked me "Is there a way for me to just email this to myself?", to which I told him "No". That being said, I think that that would be a pretty sweet utility. Idea: I would like the option of generating reports in the…

How do I connect a web experience builder app into Survey123?
I know most people say to embed the survey into the web app builder but I want to do it the other way around. This is for the emergency response solution, and I want this because we have a small staff so we might not have the option to add the emergency response points on the map side but I want to give our information…

Survey123, Power Automate and Microsoft 365 Family subscription
Hello, I am trying to use Power Automate so that I can be notified when a user has submitted a survey response using Survey123. When trying to login in to Power Automate I either get an error message about not having an organisation account or the error 'Selected user account does not exist in tenant 'Microsoft Services'…

Requirement to change the Survey123 Connect header background colour
When creating simiar Survey123 Connect forms I use different colours as failsafes to distinguish them. However this gross-error check fails because Survey123 Connect foces a default green top row colour which it presents the Survey123 project name in. See the attached for what I am describing. I believe lots of other…

Survey123 Connect Geographic Unit name error (dec degrees)
As per the attached gif, the Survey123 Connect geographical coordinate decimal degrees are named confusingly. The H character at the end of the dropdown list creates confusion. Can (1) the H be removed from the dropdown list and (2) it's longer preceeding name be shortened so it fully displays? E.g. Decimal Degrees…

Add a camera availability property for Survey123 image questions
I would like to suggest adding a Survey123 property such as: pulldata("@property", "cameraDetected") This would allow a survey to determine if the device has a working and available camera before allowing the survey to proceed. Currently, method=camera can require users to capture a photo using the camera. However, there…

Survey123 Camera Method and Attachment Behavior
Issue: In Survey123 Connect, the image question is configured with method=camera to require surveyors to capture photos using the device camera. However, when the camera functionality is disabled on the mobile device or camera access is unavailable, Survey123 automatically provides the option to attach/select an existing…

Report Template vs Address Label
I'm trying to create a report template from Survey123 that creates a page of address that you run through a printer onto address labels (the ones that you peel and stick on the outside of an envelope). I was hoping this would be a simple thing but am unable to find anything that works. The screenshot is the result I'm…

Deleting Repeat Table Records in the App
It seems reasonable that a Mobile Worker/Data Editor should be able to delete a single record in a repeat table (in my case an inspection violation against the parent address) without it deleting the other repeat entries AND the parent feature. You can do it in Pro, I think you can do it in the webmap editor- you should be…
