Thank you @ZacharySutherby for the response. I thought these might be in the future enhancement category. Thank you for verifying that I'm not missing something. For what it's worth, I would like to put my vote behind both of these enhancements. 🙂

I too have trouble with the testing/production issue. Constantly making changes in a copy, then hoping they go back into the production version without issues. I'm following this and hoping there is a way to more easily and smoothly do this.

Hi! I am designing a Survey123 Form using Survey123 Connect. the users have requested a "dark theme" option for the form. Two questions related to this: 1) Is there a way to have the form respect the os setting for dark or light theme (specifically on iPads and iPhones)? If so, what is the process, and do I design two forms or just one in light (or dark)? 2) Is there a way to change the color of the text in a field when the field is calculated? Currently, all calculated fields show up dark blue. I'm trying to minimize battery usage, so I made the fields dark grey with white text. There doesn't appear to be a setting for the calculated values. I have attached a small graphic of the problem. Thank you in advance for any assistance!

I have a Feature Layer I regularly update through ArcGIS Pro by replacing the contents of the Feature Layer with updated data. There are additional view layers that filter and symbolize that data for other tools. historically, this has worked great and the data comes over to the views seamlessly. Lately (the last couple months), I have trouble. When I update the data in the parent Feature Layer, everything looks fine. in the views, however, the data tab says "Data Error" and the Web App using the view layer shows no points. The only way around this is to completely regenerate the view layer (and reset all of the references in the We App to use the new layer), which in a lot of ways defeat the purpose of having a view layer to begin with. I have not changed the schema at all on the original layer, it's just replaced the data that is there with new data. I have done some searching and can't seem to find a solution to this. Advice on troubleshooting tips or where to go for a solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in adavance.

Here's my idea: A single question that will look like an "image" question on a mobile device (have a button for a camera input) and look like a "File" question on a laptop (allow the user to upload PDF documents). This would give the user the ability to use the phone to take a photo or use the laptop to upload a pdf in the same question. Since in the Feature Service, they both look like attachments, it seems to be a User Interface challenge. My idea is that the buttons would look something like they do when you can upload a photo (with a camera button and a folder button), but each button would accept different inputs (the camera would take a picture - the folder would accept non-image files). Even better would be if there was a way to show only the camera button on the mobile device and only the file button on the laptop, but that's probably a whole different level. My specific case: I have a form I designed in Survey123 Connect to collect images of receipts for corporate credit card transactions. This form is used by non-GIS staff, so it has to have a straightforward interface. The form collects key information about the transaction and has the user take a photo of the receipt. If the transaction is audited, everything is in one place instead of the card user having to keep the receipts and produce them when audited. Most of the transactions are fuel purchases for the vehicles, so this works fine. There are, however, situations where non-gas items are charged to the card (say, tires). With these, there is not a small, easily photographed credit card receipt, but instead a PDF invoice from the tire shop. In this case, the user would be able to log the transaction from the office and upload the PDF file to the receipt field. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Thank you @IsmaelChivite, as always, for your knowledge and insight with Survey123. That’s what I was afraid of. 🤷🏻:male_sign:

Hello - I am trying to design a question and I could use some help. I need a question that will look like an "image: question on a mobile device (have a button for a camera input) and look like a "File" question on a laptop (allow the user to upload PDF documents). It's fine if both buttons show in each environment, but I am having trouble getting the ability to use the phone to take a photo and upload a pdf in the same question. The user will mostly be using the phone camera method, but occasionally may need to upload a file. I don't mind manually adding the PDF after submission, but that doesn't seem to be working either. I have tried the following: removing the "method=camera" restriction from the field's bind::esri:style setting in Connect - this got the file selection icon to show up, but will still not allow me to submit with a pdf (invalid file type) making the question type "file" instead of image - solves the file upload issue, but takes away the more important ability to use the cell camera to capture a photo. Uploading the file after the entry is submitted using the Survey123 website's data page - also would not let me select a pdf (invalid file type). having users not add a photo and just type a reference to where the pdf is in our network drive in the "Comments" field - This is serviceable, but then the PDF isn't actually attached to the record for reporting, so someone has to go find the file if that entry gets audited Attached is the xls file as it currently stands. Thank you in advance for any suggestions or ideas.

Thank you @JRhodes! I'm not real good with the Python API yet, so I think I'll have to go with option 2. Repeats with a limit of 1 repeat! I knew I was overthinking it. Appreciate the help thinking about that one.

This may have been answered somewhere else, but I don't have the vocabulary to know what to search for this. I am probably overthinking this and there may very well be an easy, straightforward solution. Any guidance (even a link to another post) is appreciated. I have an existing Survey123 form that feeds a feature service and users really like it and are very comfortable with it. I need to add some additional data fields for a specific project that aren't needed for the main form, but the rest of the data needs to feed into the existing feature service for dashboards and things. I'm looking for a way to create a Survey123 form that includes fields that feed into the existing form, the project specific fields, and a way to relate the additional and main data (1:1 relationship) so it can all be used in dashboards as needed. I really don't want to have a completely separate dataset for the special project (this is the current situation), and I don't want to clutter the main dataset with the project specific forms. To (hopefully) help this make sense, here's what I'm trying to do Existing Fields Existing1 Existing2 Existing3 Existing4 Project Specific Fields Project1 Project2 Project survey includes all fields (Existing1-Existing4 and Project1 and Project2). The existing fields go into the existing Feature Service - Project Specific Fields populate a separate Feature Service - There is a field (automatically generated or, say, Existing1) that links the two tables so I can display, say, fields Existing1, Exising2, and Project1 on a dashboard. I hope this makes sense to someone other than me. 🤪 Thanks in advance for any help or direction.

Hello! I am attempting to create a Web Map with buffers around points showing horizontal accuracy. Currently points are being collected wiht Survey123 and a field is populated with a number for horizontal accuracy (in meters, I believe). I am developing an app to help users correct the points they collect and showing the horizontal accuracy would be helpful. This is a constantly updated dataset, so running a one-time operation like a buffer isn't really practical. Also, this is a map that may be viewed at different scales depending on needs, so it would have to be something tied to actual distance, not just relative. I'm hoping for something like a circle that has a radius equal to the horizontal accuracy field or make the dot the size of horizontal accuracy or something like that. This seems like something that should be able to be done, but I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks in advance for any help.

This idea would help our current workflow as well. I do not use workforce mainly because it's one more app and one more thing to manage for the GIS Desk (translated - me). Also, picking up the assignment, then doing it in Survey123, then having to come back and check it off in Workforce is probably more than the field staff can reliably do. If workforce assignments could be started and finished in Survey123, then I could get behind setting up the Workforce system to put out and pick up assignments.

I can see a valuable use case for this type of feature. We have a survey that I need to share outside my organization (to people without an ArcGIS Online login). I do not, however, want the survey nor its data being accessible through a "Google" search. This can be achieved by creating a group and adding individuals to it, but not all uses have an account through my organization. I would like anyone with the link to be able to fill in the survey, but I don't want it to be found through search engines. Even if it won't be found because of some behind the scenes internet settings, it makes my management nervous that the data might get out. An explicit setting would help put my (and more importantly my management's) mind at ease.

@ZacharySutherby - thank you for the help and direction. I'm pretty new at coding, so I will have to see if I can handle coding the parameter using JSON. Learning something new is always good.

@IsmaelChivite , thank you so much for this post. I am looking forward to using this notebook to streamline some download workflows. I'm not sure if you or @ZacharySutherby are better to help with this. Is there a way to filter the survey features before downloading. I have a survey that is constantly updated, but the user only needs a subset of the data at once. The query would be something like [Field] = XYZ* (using * as wildcard). Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I want to throw my support behind this as well, for what it's worth. We currently download a set of responses, then use a custom python script to extract and rename the photos. The issue is that this requires users to use ArcGIS Pro (which is intimidating to many non-GIS users) and requires the advanced license (which is more expensive, so only limited staff have one). If there were a way to automatically set a custom name - especially with a field reference calculation - it woudl be a game changer for our workflow!
