Changing text color of a survey

[doronwen]

Is there a way I can control the default text color of a survey question?
Which field in the XLSForm controls that attribute? 

I'm using ArcGIS Survey123 Connect, Version 3.19.116

Yep you can use HTML tags in the label field like this

<font color="red">Warning  text</font>

Note this can become a pain later in the layer though as it is baked into the attribute table then.  I tend to make a separate note field for these instead.  Then set bind esri column to null and it stays out of the data.

@DougBrowning You can use the bind::esri:fieldAlias column to set the field alias so it doesn't have the HTML baked in. I also use it when the survey question is long question and want something shorter for the actual data.

Oh yea I forgot about that.  Its kinda new so I forget.  thanks

Oh and you can use HTML emojis also which is cool   https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-documents/how-to-simulate-instant-data-checking-using...

In which column in my excel table do I paste <font color="red">Warning  text</font>?
