Survey123 in Browser NOT returning field attribute like it does in App

[Teresa-AZ]

Need help please.

I have researched online and in this Esri Community, and have attempted many possible solutions with no luck.  Here is my issue in a nutshell:

I created a Survey123 with Web Designer which has a map and singleline text question (like geopoint in Connect without the pulldata) that is linked to a Web Map with a Popup that has a Link to the S123 Form just created.  All is good when opening in a desktop app 🙂   

arcgis-survey123://?itemID=xyzx&portalURL=https://portal.xyzx&field:fieldname={attribute} 

It returns the attribute (which does have EncodeURL in an Arcade expression due to underscore in attribute name.)

---

HOWEVER, it does NOT return that attribute IF opened in a Browser and just gives the "suppose to be automatically populated text from attribute clicked in map like the desktop app does" as a Blank Text question that still Needs to be populated.  I believe I am using the correct link: 

https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/xxxitemIDxxx?portalUrl=https://portal.maranaaz.gov/portal.xyzx&field:fieldname={attribute} 

[along with the correct ? and then & for the parameters.]

Help please!

Thank you in advance!

P.S. I have double checked to ensure all feature layers, web maps, REST services via Server Manager and more are shared with Everyone.  I have copied link into several Browsers including Firefox with no luck; I do see the Survey123 Form but the question that IS populated in App is NOT in Browser.  Any help would be great!

Your syntax appears correct, Did you test the url by hard coding it?  That might give some more clues.

[Teresa-AZ]

Yep. It works the same. Also attempting without the &field: and it is the same. Also attempted on several browsers and with clearing cache and private/incognito mode, and way too many other things. Also been since Friday on this one so on different days as well.  No luck.  I so want workers to be able to open in a browser without downloading or logging into an App. Thanks for such a quick reply!

Longshot here: Documentation says "portalUrl" but your working one  for the field app is "portalURL".  Did you try that?

@Neal_t_k 

I was excited there for a moment. LOL.  I checked and all have the "portalUrl" which is copied exactly from the Collaborate tab in Web Designer (just to be sure) and I changed it as-needed for the app vs. browser addresses.  No luck still. Ugg.  I have double-checked ? and & and case-sensitive and nothing.  I would like to keep it in Web Designer but can go back to Connect if it works from there.  IDK.

I did a generic test on a web survey, "portalURL" worked and "portalUrl" didn't work.

[Teresa-AZ]

Hmm...so when I change it to portalURL (in caps) it makes me log into our portal (Enterprise portal BTW) and then gives a login error. When I leave it in portalUrl (as documentation and as link in S123 Web Designer has it) it opens the Form in a browser but does not automatically fill the singleline text with Cart_ID as it does in the App ones.  I am a bit frustrated at this point.  Thanks for all your suggestions though! And I am here if you have more. 🙂

More info, just so you know...

Popup in Web Map

(DESKTOP APP)

arcgis-survey123://?itemID=072xxx57e&portalUrl=https://portal.xyz/portal&field:click_on_a_storm_culvert={expression/expr0}

(FIELD APP)

https://survey123.arcgis.app/?itemID=072xxx57e&portalUrl=https://portal.xyz/portal&field:click_on_a_...}

(BROWSER – and only returns the S123 Form WITHOUT automatically returning the Attribute, like the APPs do without any issues.)

https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/072xxx57e?portalUrl=https://portal.xyz/portal&field:click_on_a_st...}

The Arcade Expression 0 takes care of the special character (underscore) used in the field attribute “column” name with a EncodeUrl to remove the “20%” for spaces. All good there.

APPs                                                              

BROWSER

Our S123 and data is in an on-prem server (so the portal is needed), and I changed with ?/&’s as needed. And checked that it is all Shared with Everyone (all FLs, etc.)  I am at a loss now.
