New to using repeats. I have a survey set up that we are using survey123 for food inspections. There is a set of questions that is information related to the business including geopoint, and then i made a set of repeated questions for the inspection. How can I link survey123 to open in Field Maps to fill out the repeats?

  • In survey123 connect create a survey from an existing feature service 
  • Remove the rows containing questions for the parent table, and the two begin/end repeat rows
  • Add a parentglobalidid question (to populate via url integration)
  • Add a form_id of the target repeat table in the settings sheet 
  • Setup an url on your map to launch the survey from the pop-up and pass through the GlobalID into the parentglobalid field 

Here's a (very old) video explaining it about 40min in:

While a lot has changed, the fundamentals should be largely similar.
