When I download my Survey123 data into an excel spreadsheet I notice there are 4 columns; CreationDate, Creator, EditDate and Editor. These appear to be default fields that I did not put into my XLSForm unlike Start, End, Username and Email but these provide much more useful metadata.

Is there a way to use for example Creator in either or both XLSForm or Feature Report?

If not, could this be considered for a future update?

Cheers

Hi James,

These fields are Editor Tracking fields. They follow the signed in user account that created (or last edited) the feature.
They are system managed and auto-generated. E.g. if we were to create or edit the feature in a Web Map.

We can use other methods if we would like to populate this information in our survey. 
For example, there is a username type question that will show the logged in username.

Cheers,

Chris
