We do something like this using the famous exif.exe writer with the corresponding Python package to write a comments field from the form into the Exif of the photo itself. This can then be seen in windows. I think there is even a Tags field in Exif that you could write too. It does require processing the photos in Python to add these tags as you export them from the GDB for long term storage. We dump these into a web accessible folder, build a simple index.html in script to create a gallery page with all the photos and comments. We then add this URL to the gallery in the feature class for direct linking in our web app or Pro. Bit more work but its super slick in the end. See my post here with examples and the code. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-blog/survey123-tricks-of-the-trade-download-survey-data/ba-p/1141835

The issue is the storage dir varies by device in Andriod - it has a seemingly random number in it. You may figure out out for your device but each user is different. I played with this a lot and never found a way to figure it out. Also Android tends to block you from doing stuff like this for security.

On server 11.3 Scratch Workspace is not giving back the job dir from arcgisjobs dir. Instead it is giving and writing to AppData under the user name. This dir is not part of the cleanup schedule and is growing over time. arcpy.AddMessage("Scratch Workspace " + arcpy.env.scratchWorkspace) Scratch Workspace C:\Users\serveruser~1\AppData\Local\Temp\aim\speedtest_gpserver\j9b2d66b7a00d4a8696d2fe7973da3ba4\scratch The post here shows it should be my arcgisjobs dir right? https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/geoprocessing-service-to-return-a-file/td-p/522062 I remember seeing this happen in the past I think. I am even seeing it create the jobs dir with a scratch folder in the arcgisjobs folder and even a scratch GDB but it does not use it. I can find no way in script to find this jobs dir either? Why is it not using arcgisjobs as configured both in the GP tool and in the server settings? Is this a bug of some sort? I cannot figure out how I can even get the job dir in script if none of these work. Scratch GDB is doing the same thing. Scratch Folder same deal it gives me the AppData dir and not the jobs dir. thanks

Its been a long time so I forget. I think it may be 0 based index vs 1 based index.

Anyone had luck with the Predict using Trend Raster tool? No matter what I try I just get simple linear trend. Here is a temporal profile of my 37 year raster. Predicting out 30 years I get this for the same area. Expect Harmonic which is even stranger. Any tips or tricks here? thanks

I would start by setting all those big table fields to bind::esri:fieldType null.

No the GP widget does not respect selections at all yet. Which is super weird to release it without that. No one runs a tool on an entire FC. See farther up this post there is a hack posted. Upvote here? https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-ideas/use-selected-features-as-input-in-analysis-tools/idc-p/1566793#M3410

We need this bad also. A tool will always need a selection so it just has to be there.

Yea GP tools could be a huge homerun but the process is just so painful and buggy. I have had tools that run great in Pro then some odd behavior when on server and I have to spend days tracking it down. I have seen Make Feature Layer and Make Raster Layer work totally differently. I have been making posts to the Geoprocessing forum but never get a response. For sure stop trying to repath my scripts. I even had it break SQL queries into many lines. If the repathing worked then fine, but it does not work right so please give us a way to bypass it. Plus 20 minutes or more to repath text in the script is confusing long. In addition the server is not reporting the correct lines if it crashes. It is giving a line from 20-50 lines up in the code which is super confusing to track down. My other battle is the way selections work. Its confusing in WAB and ExB does not respect selections at all. Also toolbox categories that work in Pro do not in WAB.

Yes it is a pain. I have been battling it for weeks. But you do have some things that can be fixed. Never use the \\ notation when publishing. Always use os.path.join(). But it almost looks like this is from model builder? It should not use that notation either. I use arcpy.env.scratchFolder instead of the % notation - again not sure if model builder did that. My scripts are getting 15-20 var remaps which then makes publishing take 20 minutes or more. In the end I gave up and use the old trick. Comment out your entire script, publish, then go into the dir on the server and uncomment out the script. This assumes you have server access which is really hard to get. Then I still ran into issues with make raster layer and a few others like that work differently on server vs in Pro. Even running the published tool in Pro or WAB also acts differently. Just no consistency. Hope that helps

With no form just a guess but is the field you are using for this table have the bind::esri:fieldType set to null so it does not try to submit it? You could be running out of field length. You could also try setting bind::esri:fieldLength to something long. You could also look at using a grid for this vs writing out html. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-blog/survey123-tricks-of-the-trade-groups-grids-and/ba-p/895267

Have you set the submission URL? I would check the survey123 collaborate tab. Is your 123 up to date I see this posted but its old https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-questions/survey123-receiving-a-lot-of-401-unauthorized/td-p/787391/page/2 Next I would turn on logging and see if you get any more info. https://doc.arcgis.com/en/survey123/desktop/get-answers/troubleshootgetanswers.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_C17E51184B704FB3ACFDFDC9F802393A

You have to set up 3 fields total. 1 for each pulldata and 1 for the concatenate. You can set the bind::esri:fieldType column to null if you do not want these temp fields in the service.

Forms are tied to the owner of the account and only the owner can change them. (Remember a form is the json that is the actual form and the service - they are not really connected. ) This is a AGOL limitation. If you look in the My Survey Designs folder there is a .iteminfo file. Look in there and you will see the form owner and the itemid of the AGOL folder the form is in. You can change these to a different owner and then move the folder to a folder owned by the new owner. This means its pretty hard to flip back and forth it is more of a one time move. The latest 123 version I think can handle moving folders but I have not tested any of it yet. Hope that helps.
