Survey123 Connect - Copy Current Values to New Repeat Record

ChristopherMask

I would like to copy values when a new repeat record is created if current values are not null. I have attached the xls. Additionally, below is the repeat I would like to be able to add this function. I have a feeling this is simple, but I can't find any documentation. Thanks in advance if you have time to help!

begin group PlotOverview <center>PLOT OVERVIEW</center>

If you mean copy values from the last repeat into the new repeat then no it cannot be done. Been trying for years.

Only way is with javascript which is a bit advanced. See my post here https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-questions/prepopulate-answers-in-a-repeat-with-last-v...

Hope that helps

Bummer, thanks Doug

New 123 will have an Excel looking table with a Duplicate option. So it is in development.

Not simple, this is probably the best discussion on the topic, but the issue is circular references break the form.

Javascript function described by @DougBrowning in the above link is probably the best option. Also you could potentially use a CSV to prefill the answers upon a new repeat if you have previous data and an ID number of some sort.

Take a look at this. Throw the extracted .xml file in your folder, it should make a new survey. Appears to work if you publish. Major downside is you have to edit the xml to update anything.
