Editing a value in an existing survey via URL-parameter

[Sven_Harpering]

Hi @all,

I have a question about the editing options via URL parameter.

As you can see in the "Trick of the Trades" (https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2019/05/24/survey123-tricks-of-the-trade-editing-re...), you can call up and edit an existing form using the parameters "mode = edit" and "globalid = ...". So far it works wonderfully.

Another "Trick of Trades" (https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2019/02/06/survey123-tricks-of-the-trade-web-form-u...) shows the possibility of transferring a previously defined value to a field using the URL parameter "field: xy = example".

In my scenario I want to combine both. You can see the URL here (you can play around with it, it is a demo):

https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/0d5bbfd305964816947e674a904f14f0?mode=edit&globalId=%7b397F7C00-C...

I am using "?mode=edit&globalId=%7b397F7C00-C8FB-4C53-8BF1-497419D3D535%7d" to call up an existing survey in edit mode and I want to transfer via "&field:wie_lebenswert_finden_sie_die_s=4" a specific value to the lickert question. 

In the initial creation, I specified the value 2 here (you can check it if your using this URL: https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/0d5bbfd305964816947e674a904f14f0?mode=edit&globalId=%7b397F7C00-C...).

I would now like to change this to 4 using the URL parameter, but it always shows me the initial value (2).

Can it be that the parameter "field: xy = example" can only be used for new forms and does not work in combination with "mode = edit"?

What would be a suitable workaround?

Hi Sven,

When opening via mode=edit, field values will not be updated with parameter values at this time.  This is true for both the web app and (when released with 3.10) the Survey123 field app.

Thanks for the information!
