Barcode Answers Appear Out of Order

[JD1016]

Hello,

We have three questions in our Survey123 form that correspond to a barcode scan.

The barcode scan works perfectly, however, the result of the scan appears at the end of the form instead of its designated location within the form.  For instance, instead of showing up under field 5 it is showing up third from the last in the form. The placement throws those people off when attempting to obtain the information.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Thank you.

Is your form published, did you add those barcode questions after the initial publishing?  If so fields added after publishing get added at the end of your feature.  If you do a "fresh" republish they should be in the correct position.

I did. Come to think of it.  I needed to add some pull data functionality through Survey123 Connect and published from there.  Is there any way to update the order now that I've passed it through Survey123 Connect publishing?

No not a simple solution.  I am assuming you are actively using the form?  If not why not just start fresh. If you are then, you could potentially make a new FC with the correct order, append data, and connect the form to the new FC...but that seems like a lot of work that might break and force a republish anyway...

I think I'm just going to scrap the old one and start over with the right sequence.  Thank you for tips and the correct answer.  Much appreciated!!!
