(a rather important) field in Survey123 inspection not always visible on Survey123 site and resulting feature reports

Question

This is a rather perplexing one...I have one particular question (text field) on an inspection built with Survey123 Connect that sometimes 'disappears' from view when on the Survey123 site. When this happens, there is nothing included for that particular field/question on the feature report. I am the survey owner, and initially it appeared to only hide a couple fields from on of my inspectors, but now it sometimes hides it from me as well. Leaving the survey page and then re-navigating to it (i.e. refresh) seems to have helped once, but this will be problematic for inspectors needing to generate feature reports.

Hi @IngridMans,

Yes I believe this is the problem. Those fields need to selected on, if you want them to be display in the Data tab, edit tab or feature reports in the Survey123 website for those that have access via the stakeholder view. If you are the owner or author of the survey, then you will always see the fields, as your login would not be using stakeholder view, and for other users, if they are fieldworker etc, it all depends on which views have which fields selected on.

You may be on to the solution.  Let us know if this does not work.

One strange this I now notice (and have no idea how it came to be this way): the feature layer's _stakeholder view on AGOL does not include the problematic fields. No clue why..... at any rate i'm updating the view definition to include those fields and am feeling rather confident this should resolve the issue.
