I would like to see the ability to use calculations (specifically sum) on geometry questions in the web interface. I have a geopoint in a repeat. I am using those repeated geopoints to generate a geoshape for the containing entry. This is useable in the Field App, but for my users, downloading and using the Field App can be one more thing that stops them from using the system.

So, because I was being stubborn about not using Connect (I am hoping to get some help from non-Connect people with maintenance, etc.), I took up the case with ESRI Support. This apparently is a known bug BUG-000143301: Creating the Set rule -function does not work properly in Survey123 when the Address -component is used in the survey before the Set rule -component. The solutions are 1) Put the Addresss question after rules or 2) Use connect. Because I overthink (and am stubborn), I also found another, somewhat clunky, but effective workaround. I created a question using the Address question type in the upper part of the form and set it to Address Text only. I set a couple rules in the middle part of the form to see if they would stick. I then created a "Map" question at the very end of the form (after any rules I may want to have) - I used the calculation on this question to pull the matched location from the Address question. Then, I set this Map question to "Hide from survey". In preview, this seems to have worked and is looking promising in preliminary testing. This added an additional field with the original address, but that's not so bad for my design. So, I hope this helps someone else who runs across this (or @se2539) as I would not have figured this out without ESRI's Technician's help.

I'll do that. Thank you for the help and troubleshooting.

@se2539, glad to hear I’m not the only one having this issue. Let us know how the Connect trial goes. I’m trying to avoid Connect for this form to facilitate easier form editing and maintenance. May just have to go back to the Connect route.

That was the answer I expected, but was hoping wasn't true. 🙂 Thank you for the reply!

Hi! I am working on a form in Web Designer and would like to change the Instance Name in the Field App. I can find documentation on how to change the Instance name using connect, but can't find anything that definitively says this can or cannot be done in the web designer. Anyone out there have a definitive answer? I'm pretty sure it's a no, but asking in case. Thanks.

Hi Shwu-jingJeng. Really appreciate the assistance with this. Republishing doesn't seem to have solved this issue. The rules still will not stay in Preview nor save.

This would also be great for collecting multiple environmental samples from a single site. To be able to fill in something like sample type, then the specifics of weight or volume and easily go back and forth between records would help that workflow as well.

Sorry about the delay - I got pulled off on an urgent project. I created, developed, and edited this form in web designer. How could I republish the existing form from Web Designer? Thanks again.

Hi @Shwu-jingJeng , Thank you for the suggestion. I appreciate the help. The form in fairly new and I just verified that the Always use the latest version, so I think it was using the latest version anyway. The rules seem to working with a brand new form, so it appears to be an issue with the existing form. I tried to use the Save As... from the Survey123 home page to create a form in the latest version without remaking the whole form. Even with the newly saved form, it will not retail the rules. Maybe there's another issue? I would really rather not have to remake the whole thing. Here's a screenshot of the form with one of the rules I'm trying to set (none of them will set anywhere in the form). In this case, I want the Note to only show if the person selects "Go" and not show if they select "No". Thank you in advance for any help on this.

I am having trouble with the Survey123 Web Designer. I have designed a survey with a "gateway" question (if this is yes, go on - if no show a message and allow to submit). I set the rules for the "gateway" question so that if yes, the next questions show - if not, they are hidden. When I save the form and preview or publish it, the rules go away and do not work. I have tried multiple times and even removing the question and adding in a fresh version. Nothing seems to work. There have been other posts about groups causing an issue with rules. My rule question is not in a group, but it does refer to questions in a groups, if that's relevant. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

I am working on a dashboard in ArcGIS Online. I have a Feature Service that gets data from a Survey123 Form. One of the questions is a select one question, so the field is a coded string. When I attempt to use it to filter data for a gauge (or other elements) on a Dashboard, the preview shows a yellow triangle and says "Cannot Access Data". The actual element in the dashboard just loads and loads with no end. When a use a different field in the same Feature Service (not a coded string), everything in the dashboard works as expected. This same thing happens when I use a View of the data or the data itself. Is this a bug/limitation of the dashboard or something in my particular feature service? If it's a bug, does anyone have a workaround? The data is updated regularly and the dashboard needs to display the most current data, so something automated would be far preferred to a manual process. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello, I am working on a Survey123 Feature Report Template. I have a location ID number (i.e. 12345) and I am trying to display it without a comma. Is there a number formatting command I can use to override the default comma placement? Right now, the number prints as "12,345". I would like "12345". Thank you in advance for any advice or direction.

I am having the same issue with Collector and Field Maps. Once I set an offline area, the map will not return to "online" mode. I created adn deleted the offline areas on Friday. In fact, I deleted all the offline areas today and the map will not switch back to "online" mode. I was able to return to online mode with a new map (same layers - no change in sharing). I'm concerned about pre-generating offline areas now because I don't want to have to keep re-creating my map.
