Hello,
I get an error (service definition creation failure) with the form attached.
I am sure it has something to do with my 2 geopoint questions that are set as "null" fields, and then lat and long calc is based on those questions.
I need starting and ending time and location of the survey. And I need to capture time/location exactly when the form is first opened and submitted and they should be read-only.
I found several approaches in geonet:
1) Repeats (I never use repeats in my surveys, cause I don't like related tables complications)
2) Multiple geopoints set as null
3) Pictures when they start the survey and then right before submitting.
So I tried 2nd approach, but apparently I did something wrong.
Can you please tell me what approach would be best for my workflow?
Thank you!

Hi Yulia
Thanks for providing your XLSForm. It appears the publishing error is caused by a duplicate question name - there are two text questions named "truckdetails". If I rename one of these questions so that they're unique, the survey publishes as expected. Please let me know if this works for you.
Best,
Jim

Jim,
Thank you for your response.
This was exactly what prevented my form from publishing, but as I expected the location is not captured the way it is supposed to. What is the best way to capture ending location and make it static and read-only? So user cannot change ending location. Starting location will be captured automatically.
Thank you!
Hi Yulia
Good to hear we identified the cause of the error. Regarding your query about capturing start/end locations, I see this has been discussed in your separate post: https://community.esri.com/message/888133-re-capturing-location-several-times-in-survey123-form
Thanks to James Tedrick and Doug Browning for their replies!
Best,
Jim
