Hi Doug, thanks for the response! I've attached the XLS form. Unfortunately, yes as far as I can tell, I need to pass in the entire repeat to do the calculations I need, for multiple repeats. If you have any suggestions for improvements though I'm all ears. For version 3.14, it is still only available through the EAC, right? ... View more

I am running into this issue today, and the situation you described seems to match mine (a large survey with lots of JavaScript expressions and other calculations.) It's crashing on version 3.13.246 of the field app on iOS. I got the survey to open successfully on version 3.13.234 of the field app on my Android phone.  So are you basically saying this is a known bug that won't be fixed until the 3.14 release? Do you know when that will be?  ... View more

Would the "count" function do what you need? https://doc.arcgis.com/en/survey123/desktop/create-surveys/xlsformformulas.htm    ... View more

Is the question within a repeat? Is this what you're trying to do?  https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000021664 ... View more

"Potato, Potahto", as far as I know. I've always used AGOL, but it probably just depends on what one was introduced to when they first started learning web GIS.  ... View more

So, I have way more experience designing surveys in Survey123 Connect rather than the web form, but I'll try helping anyway unless someone else comes along who knows exactly what's happening.  🙂 Did you at one point have an extra page or question that you then deleted? Or are there any other dependent questions in the survey? I wonder if it's as simple as needing to be refreshed.   ... View more

Thanks for the reply, Josh! That's more or less what I had assumed, but wasn't sure if there was some nuance I was missing. ... View more

Hmm, so I've never actually followed your exact workflow because I usually need to build more complicated surveys so I need to build them in Connect from the start. But anyway, when you open the survey in Connect now, do you have an option to view the XLSForm? If so, that's how you'd add the new fields (new rows in the excel sheet). And then you'd click Publish as I mentioned before and it would update with the changes. ... View more

Hi Sean, To update the survey, you will simply click "Publish" in Survey123 Connect. The application will warn you if the updates will cause you to lose data or not. For reference, the "Update Surveys" section of this page has a table that lists updates you can make in either the web app or Survey123 Connect and whether they will cause you to lose data or not.  https://doc.arcgis.com/en/survey123/browser/create-surveys/publishsurvey.htm   Hope this helps!     ...

Johannes, You have gone above and beyond in assisting me with this. Not only does your solution work, it is more elegant and really helps a novice like me see how I can clean up my coding style. I can't thank you enough! "Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime." Best, Katherine ... View more

Hi Johannes, thanks so much for your reply! Apologies for my delayed response, I got pulled into another project this week. But I'm still hoping you can help! PERC_COVER_FIELD and DOM_SPECIES_FIELD are both fields from the input table. In fact, here's the full script. I'm sure that will be more helpful. Any other suggestions?   import arcpy # GLOBAL VARIABLES POINT_ID_FIELD = 'AGCP___Wetland_Determination_Data_Form_v2.sampling_point' PERC_COVER_FIELD = 'herb_stratum_repeat.abs_perc_cover_herb' DOM_SPECIES_FIELD = 'herb_stratum_repeat.dom_species_herb' def unique_values(table, field): """ Create a list that contains all the unique Sampling_Point id's in the table.""" with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(table, [field]) as cursor: return sorted({row[0] for row in cursor}) # using a set eliminates duplicates def calc_veg_dom(perc_cover_values, stratum_layer): """Applies the 50/20 rule for calculating vegetation dominance.
