Hello, 

I am wondering if it is possible for users to copy a sent survey using the Survey123 field app, so that they only have to change a few fields in a complex survey when most of the data is the same to the one they just submitted. I've seen this post which says this can be done using the web version (I even commented on it a long time ago, but didn't receive a response) but I'm wondering specifically if this is possible to do in the field app?

I've tried using the "Favorite Answers" method but I haven't gotten it to work like I had hoped for this functionality...

Thanks!

Best,
Katie

If you go to the sent box you can copy into a new survey right there.  Is that what you mean?

Apologies, Doug. I answered my own question - I hadn't noticed this option before but now I see it right in front of my nose...

Thanks Doug, I see that functionality when accessing through the "Sent" box as you mentioned. However, almost all of my surveys use the "Inbox" feature instead of the "Sent" feature, and I know it's not recommended to have both enabled at the same time.

Do you know if it's possible to do this while using the inbox feature? I tried but it seemed like I could only edit the existing survey. 

Best,
Katie

No sorry I do not know.   I think editing Inbox surveys is way too dangerous so I never do it.  I prefer 1 for per visit.
