Multiline image question custom file name only being applied to first photo

[Mark_Johnson]

I created a multiline annotate question with a custom file name expression in bind::esri::parameters:

fileName=concat(${facilityid},"_", format-date(${inspdate}, "%Y%m%d%H%M%S"),"_",position(..))

using the unique asset ID, an inspection date question, and to make sure it's a unique name, the number of the image in the multiline question.

When I test the form, the first photo I take gets named correctly, like:

999_202210060912_0.jpg

but then any additional photos revert to the default naming, like:

swBasInsp_image_20221006-091341.jpg

I found another post that says "position" only works with repeats, not multiline, but then shouldn't it throw an error instead of working for the first photo?

Thanks for any suggestions

Were you able to get a resolution to this? I am running into the same problem, only the first image gets  named as per the calculation. All the subsequent images revert back to the default.

Any news for when does this function will be available for multiline image? I'm having the same issue. The "filename=" expression in bind::esri::parameters only pass the first instance of the name and then return to the default value after the first image. (Connect 3.16 106)

Thanks,

JB

I just submitted a case to Support, I'll post the result here.

Also interested in this as all of our photo submissions have more than one file. Even just tacking a 1, 2, or 3 at the end of each subsequent file would work.

Esri Support confirmed that "position" should not be used with multiline.

Their solution:

Create a note (I used calculate) question "img_cal" before your image question with calculation column: 

count-selected(${IMAGE QUESTION})+1​

Reference "img_cal" in your image question's bind::esri:parameters file formatting:

fileName=concat(${facilityid},"_", format-date(${inspdate}, "%Y%m%d"),"_",${img_cal})​

It's working for me.

I also tried eliminating the separate question with

fileName=concat(${facilityid},"_", format-date(${inspdate}, "%Y%m%d"),"_", count-selected(.)+1)

which does NOT work.

WOW I am so glad I found this thread! I am shocked that this issue is not mentioned in any of the documentation I have been able to find about using images in S123.

NOT knowing about this could be extremely problematic for organizations using S123 to serve multiple clients with the same survey, should any one of those clients ever request the complete set of raw photos for a site/project/region/etc.
