I have created a survey that is preloaded with data from our enterprising data base. The survey is setup to use the inbox. The user can pick an existing survey from the inbox and edit a subset of the fields in the data. There are some fields that I want to display for contextual information but do not want the user to have the ability to change. If I set the readonly property to 'yes'; the data is not displayed.
How do I get read only data to display on the form when editing an existing survey?

Hi Tony. This is currently an open issue, but I believe it is being addressed in the next release (2.5). You can participate in the Early Adopter Program if you want to test it out.
The only workaround that I am aware of is to make the field you want to make read-only a hidden field, and then calculate it into a note field.

Thanks. I was able to get that to work. Here is the relevant columns that you need to populate in the survey123 spreadsheet.
type | name | label | readonly | calculation | bind::esri:fieldType | bind::esri:fieldLength |
hidden | Unitid | UnitId | esriFieldTypeString | 35 | ||
text | Unitid_display | Unit Id: | yes | ${UnitId} | null |
Hi Tony,
Michael is correct- this will be addressed with the 2.5 release a bit later this month.
Great looking forward to the new release
James Tedrick Has this been addressed? I just downloaded v 3.0.132 and I'm still not seeing pre-populated data in my read-only text fields. Interestingly, the read-only data in my decimal fields IS displaying (and read-only).
Hi Allison,
Yes, this should be addressed. Can you share the XLS file?
