Renamed a survey before, republish is looking for original name or else it'll wipe.

[AlfredBaldenweck]

I recently had to duplicate a survey, Survey A.

The duplicate was automatically named "Survey A 1".

Prior to publishing, I deleted the original survey and renamed the duplicate to plain "Survey A".

I published it just fine, then went about my business.

However, the time has come for me to update the survey.

I get a republish warning that the service will be wiped because "Table 'Survey A 1' not found".

I've tried renaming the folder. I've tried renaming everything in the folder. I deleted the folder and downloaded the survey. That told me I could publish with no issue, but when I edited it and went to publish, it gave me the same warning.

How do I get around this?

Download any data in the survey as a backup csv file. Copy the new S123.xlsx file to a different folder. Delete any previous copies of the old surveys, or move them to an archive folder. Create a new survey, selecting the file you saved in step 2. Add the previous data back if you need it in the survey feature layer. This step might be easier using Append in Pro after adding the new feature layer and the csv.

There might be an easier way, but I don't know of one. Maybe you could edit the schema in the survey window instead.

Did you try  putting "Survey A" in the form id in the settings tab?

You are a lifesaver.

This form is for testing but we just opened it up to like 50 people and I really didn't want to have to redistribute and change the other things (experience builder, some scripts) to match.
