In the past, there was an option within Survey123 Connect to create a new survey based on other existing published surveys within your organization. It was different from the option to create from a Feature Service, in that it pulled the exact XLS form and configuration from that survey, instead of just creating a generic template of questions based on the data field types. This was incredibly helpful for IT/admins for troubleshooting purposes, because it allowed you to create a copy of other users' surveys and test solutions or workarounds without editing the originals.

I recently upgraded Survey123 Connect to v3.17.55 and see that this option is no longer there (can't remember what version I was on before, now). Under Organization, it now only has the 'Feature services' option.

Is this intentional? Are there any plans to bring this option back? Perhaps user error? I see the workaround could be to use the 'File' option and upload a copy of their xlsx, but the extra steps of guiding the user to locate and send over that file is a pretty inconvenient back step in functionality when the option was there in the past. Below is an image of the current options in 3.17.55.

 

Update 3/18/2025: The marked solution may no longer apply as of version 3.22.49

I am having the same issue, not able to see the option to create a survey from "Organization>Surveys". I have Survey123 Connect version 3.22.49

Any ideas?

I checked again too in 3.22.49 and I don't see the option, either. Unsure if it is appearing and disappearing between releases or if there is some other factor that causes the option to hide/show.
