Having an issue with my survey and not sure what exactly is going on. Most of the community responses I see on this issue are from half a decade ago, so not sure if they're relevant. The issue: Nested repeat is writing to table even though relevant condition is not met. The nested repeat is (Photopoints) layer, where there's point geometry and an attachment. The entire repeat is set to relevant by a yes/no question NeedPhotos. NeedPhotos has a calculation, so that if another question (PositiveImpact_YN_ = 'Yes') it sets to 'Yes', thereby necessitating photos. Fairly simple. Yet it's pushing ghost records to the photo table with no geometry. There are calculations that automatically pull in values from other layers, but if the whole repeat is hidden via relevant shouldn't that silence them? xlsx is attached. What gives?

@AlixVezina Thank you following up. This is when this forum is at its best. As users we're often confronted with situations where we're just not sure what's possible, as the products move fast and the documentation doesn't keep up. So it's nice when someone from Esri can pop in and provide a "yeah, don't even bother it's not possible" kind of answer before we waste more time pursuing it. On another note, it would be wonderful if this was different! Seems a shame when settings that you can specify do not actually get honored.

@VenkataKondepati Thanks for the detailed response. I can certainly look at other ways to get a little more creative with editing. Our users have a decent out, in that all of the data collected is generated through Survey123 and the pop-up contains a URL parameter so they can edit their data in Survey. However, there are lots of small edits that might take place within the workflow, and the functionality of the List Widget + Editor is nice, and much preferred, so long as it works. Building the app on a View, which doesn't allow geometry editing at all (and would therefore disallow adding a new feature), might work, but I've been moving away from Views as any updates get complicated.

@AlixVezina Thank you for the note. I am aware of that behavior (which, in my humble opinion, absolutely shouldn't exist), as I've been bitten by it before. I have verified the behavior across different accounts, much the same as my users will access it.

Having some more odd behavior with the Experience Builder Editor widget where it's not honoring defined settings when accessing a related record. I have multiple layers and I want different editing capabilities for each. The app has been published with an attribute-only edit functionality for the Treatments layer. In the Editor, with nothing selected, the option to add a record to the treatment layer is disabled, as desired....You can see below where it's not an option in the Editor. However, when I select the parent record, and I navigate down to the related Treatment records (which I would like to be able to do), you can still see '+ Add Feature' is available, and you can still add features, which is what I explicitly disabled. The ability to edit in this fashion is enabled in the Form in the webmap, but there's no option to specify editing type. Could someone in in the community help out with a workaround, or, better yet, can somebody with Esri patch this up?

@JeffreyThompson2 Fair enough. It's just a little embarrassing: I had both a) been looking at it through the account that owned the data, so permission weren't honored correctly (I don't feel that bad about this....it's a pretty dumb behavior in my opinion; and b) I had forgotten to publish changes when I looked at it from a testing account. And I'll claim the points.

I have an Experience Builder application that's not behaving as expected. I have the settings for the Editor widget configured on my layers to allow updates only. However, when the editor is opened for a given layer it reports that the form is 'Read Only' and allows no edits whatsoever. Editing is enabled on the layer, and with the same account I can commit edits in the map for the application, just not the Experience itself. This was discovered after troubleshooting the issue where the owner account could in fact do whatever it wanted even though adding records was disabled. The settings: What the user sees: This is the same account that submitted the record Layer settings: So what gives?

@ZacharyNeumannQK can you elaborate on what you did? I found myself here because I'm in the same pickle...records went up fine but attachments have not.

Found a temporary workaround here (LINK) using the pulldata and 'mode.' At least I can turn the constraint off when edited. This is still not the full extent of the preferred behavior, and a better move would be to be able to count attachments in a given layer if the survey mode is in 'edit.'

Looking for help from the community to understand some image question behavior. My survey works on four layers. One of those layers is a point layer with attachments enabled ('Photopoints'), which is a nested repeat (1:M). When surveys are edited from the inbox (not directly from the inbox, but through a URL parameter provided in an application) the photo is 'present' but not, and there's a little cloud symbol that appears (see below). It looks like the survey pulls the photo down so the user can see it. My issue: I have a constraint in the survey that forces the user to upload a photo if a condition is met (it operates by counting the responses to the image question). In this case, the requirement is met, as a photo and and its necessary dependent information was submitted, but something else in the survey needs to be edited, yet the survey can no longer 'count' the responses to the image question since it's not really 'there.' Is there a workaround so the constraint can stay in place (a photo must be submitted for certain kinds of records) but to have it count the attached features as well?

Hoping somebody can chime in and tell me whether or not I'm on a wild goose chase. My issue: I have a survey with nested repeats, one of which uses a search appearance to query a feature service and return options. When a survey is opened using url parameters (see this post and this post) it gets completely bricked - previous repeats that existed are wiped out. There is no calculation to fire, none of the previously recorded information, etc. Calculation mode is 'always' so it seems like this shouldn't be a problem. I've tried it using arcade, as below: var urlsource = 'arcgis-survey123://?';
var params = {
itemID: '6c6ed14f3b9749f098b2e84c6d9ed18c',
action: 'edit',
'q:globalId': $feature.GlobalID,
folder: 'inbox',
update: 'true'
};
var url = urlsource + UrlEncode(params);
var incName = $feature.IncidentName
var surveyHTML = '<br><a href='+url+' style = "color:#1e90ff">Click to Launch Survey for '+incName+' Incident</a>'
return {
type : 'text',
text : surveyHTML //this property supports html tags
} As well as just manually putting the URL together. I have also tried just using this method: https://survey123.arcgis.app/?itemID=6c6ed14f3b9749f098b2e84c6d9ed18c&action=edit&update=true&folder=* ....and it wipes out the custom map, even if being opened by the same person who performed the survey. Is there a methodology that actually works for what I'm trying to accomplish? I have a few dozen users submitting some fairly complicated surveys. I'd like them to be able to open their surveys and edit them from a means other than the Sent folder on their device. Is this possible?

@Neal_t_k I do have relevancies on it. I have a bit of a pickle because I like relevant because it will scrub out answers and not take a default empty record if I don't want them. What I've done as a workaround is I've used a dummy question to count values in the repeats. That dummy question is set to relevant for the conditions I want. Then I have a constraint on that dummy question for if the count is equal to 0. So the user right now doesn't get immediate feedback but they won't be able to submit the survey without the conditions being met (if a treatment was involved they must add treatments in the repeat, and if the treatment had a positive impact it must have a photo).

I have a survey using the pages dynamic-grid theme, and in that survey I have several repeats, including one nested pair. The issue: all repeats are automatically 'minimal' appearance, and it sabotages some required questions in the nested repeat. How do I force a non-minimal appearance on repeats with the pages dynamic-grid? Basic layout is below. There are several additional groups within the repeats for different parts of the survey. type name appearance begin group pageFour field-list w1 begin repeat Treatments w1 begin group treatmentsSurveyGroup w2 geopoint treatments_point w2 text treatmentName w1 text projectName w1 select_one YesNo positiveImpact w2 begin repeat treatmentPhotos w2:2 image** treatmentPhoto w2 text imageCaption w1 text imageLocation w1 end repeat end group The functionality I need: the image question is required if the ${positiveImpact} = "Yes". This works, but only if one clicks the plus sign to add an image to the repeat question. This would be resolved if the image repeat section was expanded by default, btu it's not with the w2:2 appearance (which has seemed necessary to get it to show up at all). This means users can technically submit records without the image repeat filled out, despite it having a positive impact. If a survey is opened from Sent folder, though, the repeat is expanded by default.

Still the dependency. I could try moving the concat to a landing field, then having a calculation to pull that as the point value. Then maybe it could split it out....
