Auto-populate a field based on the result of the previous answer

[Danielle_Papineau]

I need to auto-populate a field based on the result of the previous answer (kind of similar to how "relevant" works, but sort of the opposite).  For example, employee names and unique employee IDs.  Once a name is selected, I'd like the next "question" to auto-populate with the related employee ID (read-only field).  It seems possible, but I'm not sure how to go about it.

Hi, I would recommend you have a look at the https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2016/10/27/the-pulldata-function-access-external-da... blog post.

Also in this help topic: Formulas—Survey123 for ArcGIS | ArcGIS 

You can use the pulldata function to lookup the employee name from an employee ID. The output of pulldata can be used in the calculation column of a note type of question, or a read-only text question.
