Is anyone else having an issue uploading TIFF files using Survey123?

[MarthaRodgers]

I recently tried adding a TIFF image to my survey and it is not working.  JPG's and PNG's work fine.  See attached.  It shows a placeholder but no image.

This is happening in all surveys I'm working with.  Also, I designed them using CONNECT.

If this continues to be an issue, is there a way to limit the user from trying to add a TIFF image?  Using Constraint or something else?

Thank you!

Hi Martha,

Thank you for sharing, and I will log a bug for the tiff file preview issue.

If you want to avoid the .tiff submission, try adding regex(., '!.tiff$') in the constraint field. Then when a .tiff file is added, the constraint_message will show, and the submission will be prevented.

Thanks,

Ruth

Thank you Ruth!

Update on the REGEX.   I tried your version Ruth and it actually wouldn't allow anything now, including .png and jpg, so after some research I found this regex to work:

regex(.,’^((?!tif).)*$’)

Hopefully the bug is squashed soon and I can remove it. 

One other item, in the web browser the constraint message is not appearing after an incorrect input here.

Thanks again!

Hi Martha,

We will try to address this issue in the next few releases, and I will reply to this post with any updates.

For the constraint message, did you also set the constraint_message in the XLSform? If yes, then I will need more information to identify the issue, a screenshot like the screenshot I posted above would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Ruth

Hi Ruth, yes I did put in a constraint message in the xlsx form.   I tried to recreate it, and it seems to work now on my "typical survey".  The one I am inserting into Experience Builder however still doesn't work.... (even when I open directly from Survey123, it does not display the constraint message)

Here are the screenshots...

Thank you!

Hi Martha,

Thanks for the screenshot, the "This is a required question" is shown because the question is a required question. When the input does not meet the constraint, it also does not meet the required constraint, so the "This is a required question" which has a higher priority shows.

One workaround method here, maybe you can set the required_mssage as well in the XLSform. Hope this works for you!

Thanks,

Ruth
