Good afternoon Survey123 friends,   For surveys that records things that happen in the past, or that will happen in the future, would it be possible to deploy a calendar appearance that displays the default calendar centered on a particular focus period rather than today?   The leading idea is to avoid setting a default date (which fills the field), with a date that could potentially be wrong & ignored bu the user, but just to view the calendar centered around the proposed date ; "just" tweak the default appearance to make data entry quicker. The appearance would then take a mandatory parameter that is a set date on which to center the calendar.   My first use case is belated entry of pick-up and delivery dates:   The delivery happens a few days after the pick-up date. Catch: the pick-up date is often recorded months afterwards (the rush period not allowing paperwork transmission from fieldworkers to admin assistants for data entry). Centering the delivery date calendar on the pick-up date would very much ease data entry The case is described in the related Survey123 question here, which found no answer.   My second use case relates to  entry of dates in the future: Our experts inspect features in the field, and record management guidelines to the clients. When the management contains an action and a proposed delay for production, we would like a calendar centered on a date preceding the end of the production delay to remind the business development unit to prompt the client to order the works. The calendar appearance would be very helpful here too ; the 'central date' parameter could be calculated as 'completion date minus 3 months', for instance.   Many thanks for any help (and for upvoting this idea !! 🙂 )   With kind regards,   Hélène.   ...

Good afternoon Survey123 friends,   My survey uses a simple relationship between dates:   The issue is, these can be recorded weeks/months after they happened: in full rush, field techs collect the paperwork ; whenever they can, they give it to admin assistants who will record the dates using the S123 form. Therefore, the admin assistant are asking whether the display of the "delivery" calendar could be centered on the "pick-up date", to ease data entry by reducing scrolling. The idea is to avoid setting a default date (which fills the field), with a date that could potentially be wrong, but just to view the calendar centered on the indicated pick-up date.   Has anyone done anything like this? Intuitively, it might be achievable using the "appearance" column or one of the ESRI-special columns, but I cannot think of a working solution. I did not find anything in the 'Survey123 dates & time' blog post, as it focuses on values rather than display.   Many thanks for any help & pointers!     With kind regards,   Hélène. ... View more

Hello Survey123 friends,   Survey123Connect allows to style entry text/selected values with a color-picker  .   The chosen color is applied to interactive questions only: read-only fields have the default style (thin & black). => Would it be please  possible to apply the selected style to all answers, including read-only answers?   Use case: Some of the select-one questions read their domain in a CSV file. Subsequent questions leverage the CSV file to fill dependant values. Those values are kept read-only for data coherence sake, Those values are shown on screen, as (our)  users do not trust what they do not see. Those value do not show clearly as data entry (even if derived entries), users would like to see the same style as other answers.   A picture is better than a thousand words, so: Here is what we have today:     and here is what we would looove to see :     Many thanks in advance!    With kind regards,   Hélène.     ...
