I use a Survey123 form for collecting project data from our clients. This is an evolving questionnaire, that changes continuously. For example, new question are added, labels are edited for changing questions numbering or for making the question more clear.
When changes are made to the survey and it is re-published, the labels are not updated. They stay as they were originally published. They can only be edited manually in ArcGIS online. Our survey contains over 500 rows (questions, sub-questions). Reviewing and updating this manually, question by question, is cumbersome and costly.
After working with ESRI technical support, they confirmed that it is an expected behavior, not an error. It is not part of the current functionality of Survey123 to update the labels. It would be extremely useful to have that improvement in the functionality, for labels to update automatically when republishing a survey.

Thank you for sharing this Michelle

Hi. I want to ask for clarification on this idea. Are you referring to question labels or field aliases?
For context:
Am I correct assuming that you really meant field aliases, as opposed to question labels? Or am I misunderstanding? If you meant field aliases, this will be addressed in 3.16 and you can test the fix downloading the Beta version from the Survey123 Early Adopter Site. Including a screenshot of what you will see if your bind::esri:fieldAlias values do not match. At that point, if you choose to update the aliases, Connect will change them.
By the way @MichelleWilliamsERM 3.16 will take care of domain sync from Connect as well. That is, you change a list in XLSForm, you publish, and your layer domains will be updated accordingly. No need to go under the hood adding fields, field aliases or domains...
Thank you, @IsmaelChivite, for getting back to us.
Thank you for the update on the domains and aliases getting fixed in the next revision. This is a game changer.
And I see where the confusion is coming from with label/alias. We see the label here, and we see alias is in your screenshot.
@IsmaelChivite Thank you for following up. In the post, I am indeed referring to Labels.
I was advised by the analyst (Mariah) that this was and expected behavior, as per the following email pasted below, related to case (03135314):
"Diego,
Thanks for letting me know! Please find a brief summary of the case below for ease of reference:
Since there are no further questions, I will go ahead and close out this case at this time.
Thank you again for contacting Esri Support and I hope you have a wonderful day!
