The survey crew has been collecting data for culverts, they've been getting location data for the inverts of the inlet and the outlet.
I've been editing surveys in the Survey123 website and I believe it has been deleting some of my z-vaules that were submitted. This only seems to happen for some surveys and not all of them. It happens for the culvert inlet inverts and the culvert outlet inverts.
Can anyone help? Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way to get the deleted data back?
After more review, it also changes the location of the second data point within the same survey
Are there multiple forms being used to collect this data? Are you editing existing records? Are those questions being hidden in some cases? Depending on how you hide questions, it can alter the data.
There is only one form being used per culvert, so invert inlet and invert outlet are collected on the same form.
I am only editing certain answers to certain questions. I am not editing the locations of the inverts. But that is the data that is disappearing.
This is how the question looks in the xls:
Are you using the relevant column? If so, try the esri::hide column instead.
The columns will show but sometimes the actual data gets deleted. That's where the problem comes in
You'll probably have to contact support about getting the deleted data back. Or get a nice DEM to find the values. Do you need the Z field exposed for editing? Probably take it out, only expose the fields you need for editing.
