I would like to have questions in my survey that affect the relevant column but are not needed in my actual data set.
For example:
I am collecting trap information, I need to record certain information when the trap is set and different information when it is collected.
If I have a question at the beginning of my survey asking the field tech if they are setting traps or collecting them then using the relevant column I can show only those fields that are important to either task; but I don't need to store whether they are setting or collecting a trap in the feature layer (in fact it avoids problems if it isn't stored).
I am using a hosted feature layer in AGOL.
I am using Survey123 Connect Version 3.0.142

HI Benjamin,
Yes, you can do exactly this! By entering 'null' into the bind::esri:fieldType column for your 'setting/collecting traps' question, the question won't be recorded in the feature service after the survey, letting you make this question as essentially a UI element only. You can find more ifnromation about this here: Esri custom columns—Survey123 for ArcGIS | ArcGIS
