I've publish a form and create the corresponding hosted feature service. In my workflow, I want to use Collector to add a point in the map, run a quick assessment, and flag a house with a damage category (None, Minor, Major, Destroyed). Later on, I'd like to pull up this data in Survey123 to complete a more detailed assessment if appropriate.

Collector supports the first part of the workflow (add a point to the map and enter the appropriate data). But the next step is a little trickier, since I am pretty much limited to transfer that information to Survey123 with a custom URL that requires re-selecting the record and submitting my request. The URL will transfer the data, but also create a new point with a different location defined by Survey123, thus, duplicating the records.

Ideally, a user will add a point in Collector to populate the required data, and then provided with the opportunity to edit the remaining data in Survey123 with a simple click. Conceptually simple, but probably not easy to implement. I wonder if the current inbox setting could be leverage for this purpose.

Adding to my previous comment.

I thought of leveraging the inbox settings and retrieve the records that way. This will require creating an instance in Survey123 that takes into account the fields that have been populated in Collector.

Not sure if I am missing anything.
