Hi everyone,
I’m working on a Survey123 workflow to track encampments and maintain consistent naming across surveys. I created a EncampmentList_Master table to serve as the official master list of encampments. The goal is for users to either select an existing encampment or add a new one through the survey.
Here’s how it’s supposed to work:
If a survey respondent identifies a new encampment, they enter its name in a text field. This name should then be added to the EncampmentList_Master table so it appears in the dropdown for future surveys.
If the encampment already exists, the dropdown pulls from the Master List to ensure consistent naming and prevent duplicates.
The problem:
New encampment names entered in the survey are not appearing in the Master List table. I’ve checked the XLSForm configuration and the survey submission, but I’m not sure what I’m missing.
Has anyone run into this issue before? Any guidance on making Survey123 update a feature layer dynamically or troubleshooting why new entries aren’t being added would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Hi Jevita
Can you provide the Excel design file of your survey?
It could be a setting on your Feature Service - does it allow all features to be visible to all editors?
Setting: What features can editors see? Editors can see all features
How are you attempting to set this up?
Is your being pulled from a CSV or Hosted Feature Layers.
If you are okay with everything being online and haven't read these "Tricks.." they might help.
