Survey123 connection blocked in Chrome after Nov 2025 update

[mattkramer]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing issues with survey123 forms embedded in dashboards. Users who are using Google Chrome and have installed the most recent (Nov, 5th 2025) update have not been able to access forms via ArcGIS Dashboards. They are getting connection blocked and CORS errors. These issues are not present when accessing the forms/dashboards in Edge.

If anyone has any information on this, it would be appreciated!

Any word on a permanent fix for surveys nested within Experiences using the Embed widget? My organization is just about to deploy a public-facing initiative that includes two Experience/Survey123 combinations that no longer work. I don't think we can move forward now without an actual fix that doesn't require client-side actions or outright re-designing the affected resources.

Ben,

In my checks, these issues do not affect the public users!  It appears to be mostly for our intranet users who are on the local network.  If you aren't on the local network, the apps work(so far in my short term tests)  Is this was everyone else is discovering?  I am testing with a laptop for which I am switching between a city wireless network and a non-city wireless network.  If I am on the city's network, the CORS errors appear.  If I switch to the non-city wireless  network, and refresh the page, the data appears.

So, our intranet users think the apps are not working but they are. 

The fix to change the flag setting to "disable" appears to work but I am not sure I can talk our network admins into pushing out the "disable" option to override these new security settings to our city network users.

Oh, cool. Yeah, sure enough it does work off-network. Thanks for the info! That's a huge help.

good find - I've reported this internally as I ran into it today (again) on an internal only project. 
Chrome 143, Survey123 embedded in a dashboard, ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5

It seems Microsoft Edge is also being impacted by this for ArcGIS Dashboard embedded surveys at 10.9.1 version! Can someone confirm this? 

If thats the case, Firefox is the only browser which is still working.

Sorry- replied to wrong topic.

Hi @Jaivik_P @ToddW_stl @BenClark @DavidFlack @ctalleygreenville @EricKriener @Daniel_Perkins ,

This issue is caused by a new local network permission introduced in the latest Chromium update. It affects both Chrome and Edge users, as embedded local resources (such surveys, web maps, etc.)  are now blocked unless the "local-network-access" attribute is added to the iframe.

The fix has already been implemented in the Survey widget within ArcGIS Experience Builder and the Survey123 JS API, but the remaining issues are still being worked on.

Relevant support cases:

• Experience Builder embed widget: https://support.esri.com/en-us/bug/the-arcgis-experience-builder-embed-widget-with-an-embe-bug-00018...
• Dashboard embedded content: https://support.esri.com/en-us/bug/in-arcgis-dashboards-the-embedded-content-element-conta-bug-00018...

Workaround:

The current workaround for this issue is to disable Local Network Access Checks:

• Chrome: chrome://flags/#local-network-access-checks
• Edge: edge://flags/#local-network-access-checks

I also encourage you to contact Esri Support with your Enterprise version and the affected app. Our Support team will attach your case to the existing bug report, which helps us better assess the impact.

Thanks,

Ruth

We are also experiencing this issue with Surveys embedded in dashboards.  We are also observing the issue with social media links on a Sites page that is embedded in an Exp Builder.
