~Hello! I have a survey that requires update to the latest version. If the survey is opened in app, the updates is being prompted. If the survey is opened via link like: "arcgis-survey123://?itemID={itemID}", the survey opens without prompting for the updated. I was wondering if this is a bug or it is by design? thanks!

Hi This is a long standing issue: When I make updates on a survey123 form, the update is not detected when the form is opened via link. I have an integration with Workforce and I have to communicate every time I update the form so that the users can first download the update and then use it with workforce. I now find the same issue when I embed the link (of a different survey) in a dashboard using the below, the form opens showing the non up-to-date version, without prompting to download the update. Is this by design? Thanks! arcgis-survey123://?itemID=xyzxyz

Hello! Strange behavior but since I do not use webForm that much I am not sure I made something wrong. I have a survey123 that collect data and it is embedded in a web experience ap. I have a repeat that can be filled as many times as needed. I filled the first, I move to the second, I press submit and the form goes back to the first repeat because is empty only the hours seems to be retained (the total is still there), everything else is deleted, and I have to refill it, this happens even with more repeats, all those before the last one lose the info. This does not happen on the Windows mobile app. Any clue? Thanks!

HI @JamesTedrick, since the idea still needs clarification here my scenario: I have a survey that creates reports and it generates a ref number I was asked to change the ref.No schema since the incremental number at the end is not reliable and it creates duplicates. The report can be updated until is ready for review so, it is still available for editing in the Inbox until then. below you see the old one and above the new schema the code is fine when I open it if I hit the refresh button. the dateTime is the same as it is set as once() but the schema is different and it will update. the calculation mode is calculationMode=whenEmpty, but still it updates my options are: 1. I create a new survey where I allow the edits but I am going to receive complains for the number of survey that need to used (already 5) 2. I beg the inspectors not to touch that button until all the old reports are reviewed (they are more than 800, it will not happen overnight) Always thanks for your help.

Thanks to both of you! while the first attempt was on @AustinAverill suggestion, I then proceeded with @DavidSolari one. but the result was the same for both, no error whatsoever, just blank fields. I attached the David's sugg attempt. if you have time and what to have a look to see what is wrong there. Thanks again!

Hello! I have a scenario where surveys related to properties are compiled mostly in office and not on site. The Survey is already set up to pull data from a layer when the point is placed on the polygon, but when the survey is submitted from office, the customer is lamenting that the point is not in the correct location. Of course this could be solved by opening the map and place the point in the right location. so, given the fact that I can pull info from a polygon, I was wondering if the opposite is possible: select a property from a list and create the geopoint of the survey in the centroid of that same property. This has to be dynamic as property can change quite often. Thanks!

Hello! Error when using pulldata@layer. I've use this function so many times that I am lost, I don't know what to look for. Because I do not see any wrong, any difference from other forms that work. I also copied the calculation from the Survey template to be 110% sure. my calculation: pulldata("@layer", "getValueAt", "name", 'https://services......./FeatureServer/0', ${polygon}) TypeError: Cannot call method 'toString' of undefined in expression: pulldata("@layer", "getValueAt", "attributes.name", 'serviceURL/FeatureServer/0', /xyzx The polygon is a geoshape question. I tested with more that one layer, from 2 different orgs, different level of sharing till public even if I am the owner of the layer and admin too. I was working with Connect 3.20, now upgraded to 3.22, same output. Thanks!

Hello! I am posting here as I followed Ismael's tutorial here. Survey123 Tricks of the Trade: Make (previously kn... - Esri Community I do not manage to update the feature layer and I never managed singe I started trying some years ago, for different scenarios. I am trying to trigger with a survey. I query the record and I find correctly the highest value in a field. I add +1 and I want to write this new value in this new record. Below is the last module and I thing I built it correctly. in the second picture the result 41 is correct. In the data output there is an error with invalid parameters. Of course the Feature Layer is not updated. (edits are enabled) Does anybody know where the issue is? Thanks!

Hi @DfIRivers Maybe non the best solution but: I exported the feature Layer from ArcGIS Online and I use it as archive in ArcGIS Pro. Then, at the end of every month, I Append the assignments of that month from the Online layer to this archive and I delete the assignments from the Online layer in ArcGIS Pro. Every beginning of the month the Assignment layer is empty and my offline has all the old records. The archive layer could be republished on Online, but in our case there is no need.

Hi! I have a Custom HTML/CSS header configured for Hub. I need to add a menu link that links to an app shared with a group and visible only if the user is signed. For the Standard Header I managed to make this work and it is pretty easy, but fort he Custom one seems to be more complicated, hopefully not impossible. First of all: is it even possible to the best of your knowledge? As, per my attempt, I interrogated ChatGPT and it suggests to modify the HTML with this class <li class="private-link" style="display: none;"> modify the CSS with this: .private-link { display: none; add this JavaScript caller to the HTML, but when I do so, the javascript disappears from the text an in fact also the menu link disappears because it take the display:none class. Actually to the best of my knowledge, JavaScript is not supported at all. <script> async function checkUserAuth() { const portalUrl = "https://geogovmt.maps.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/community/self"; try { const response = await fetch(portalUrl, { credentials: "include" }); const user = await response.json(); if (user.username) { // User is signed in, show the private menu link document.querySelectorAll(".private-link").forEach(link => { link.style.display = "block"; }); } } catch (error) { console.error("Error checking authentication:", error); } } // Run the function when the page loads document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", checkUserAuth); </script> Thanks!

Yes, I was referring to this article, but while I have already implemented some of the solutions there, I am not sure if I can type/select a property No from a list and have the corresponding polygon selected (or a point in the centroid, actually), this would be my goal.

Hello! I set up a search in map by layer and I would like the user to search for a particular property in case he is filling the survey when not on site. It is already set up and the only thing i see is the address, which is disabled in my settings. (then I read "use in ArcGIS Collector" "use in ArcGIS Field Maps" only. If not possible, would the search at polygon work by typing a property number and the point on map is created? Thanks!

Hello, Trying to figure out if it is possible to collect information in a text box and then transform the automatically in bullet point (in a Report). I read that is possible to do it with a select multiple but here I need free text as there is no choice and bullet point could have 1 or 10+ entries. Solved: Word Report 'Bullets' format - Esri Community Any idea? Thanks!

Hi @JakeSkinner, this seemed to be the issue, completely forgot about it. Thanks!
