Survey123 Connect If statement and Pull data

[Ethiopia]

Hello everyone. I am having a hard time trying to construct a statement so that the if the point drawn on the map is intersecting the feature layer to pull data from the feature layer if not to select "Not in a priority Area" from the choice field. Please help I am not knowledgeable in coding or connect

if (
within ( pulldata("@layer", "getValueAt", "attributes.Name", "https://services2.arcgis.com/sBoGufkdR7jFytOm/arcgis/rest/services/shedMap_WFL1/FeatureServer/8", ${Location_of_Project}, "")), "Not in a Priority Area"
)

Pulldata does not work well inside an if.  Move it out to a temp field and then check that in the if.

Thanks for reply Doug! I wish I was able to get an auto populate if a feature does not intersect with a point.

Doug just means you need to split up the operation. You can still do what you want.

Calculate #1 is your pulldata(@layer)
  E.g., pulldata("@layer", "getValueAt", "attributes.Name", "https://services2.arcgis.com/sBoGufkdR7jFytOm/arcgis/rest/services/shedMap_WFL1/FeatureServer/8", ${Location_of_Project}, "")

Calculate #2 is your IF statement.
  E.g., if(${pulldata_calc}='','Not in a Priority Area',${pulldata_calc})

Not saying these calculates are correct. They are just examples. This is generally what you'd be looking to do.

Thank you for your help! I was able to get it to work. I used two calculation fields and it worked perfectly, but I ended up combining it.

Glad you got it working!

Going back to what Doug already said though, sometimes pulldata doesn't like being nested within IF() statements. If it is working for you, great. But if it starts acting odd, consider breaking it out the steps into separate calculates.

Good luck.

Ended up breaking it up, and it's working both on web/desktop. I am sure you can make the code much simpler. Thanks, abureaux and Doug!!

Note this may not work in a web form using that if statement if you use those.

It's working so far, hopefully it won't generate errors. Do you have any suggestions if that was the case?

Sorry must not be saying it right.  As posted above simply move pulldata to its own hidden field.  Then the rest of your code if(${FieldWithPulldataInIt}, etc, etc) in your final field.  Clear now?
