Hi JTedrick-esristaff‌ Thanks for your answer; it solved our problems. This ends up being a pretty critical thing. Two of our Org users have run into this problem now. They are not 'tech savvy' users; nor do they have admin rights on machines for installing the missing dll. Can they dll be included in the install package for Survey123? Yes, their typical workflow will be from desktops rather than mobile devices. Thank you.

Thanks James. Any thoughts about when the fix could be in place?

It seems that Time constraint functionality isn't working as I expected. I want to make sure that the 'end time' is greater than the 'start time' (note that this is not related to survey start/end time). I have been testing with the 'Dates & Time' sample template, slightly modifying the original inputs around the lunch time questions. The screenshots below show that the 'minutes for lunch' calculation is working as expected, i.e. a negative 5 minutes for lunch time, but the constraint doesn't work. The form happily validates -5 minutes for calculated lunch time. Am i missing something basic? I saw in the forums that there was a similar issue involving Date constraints that has supposedly been fixed. Is the Time constraint issue related? I am using version 1.10.43 of Survey123 Connect

My survey contains a Repeat which has about 50 fields. Many of the fields in the Repeat are within nested groups... for example, there is a 'Products' group that contains a Product 1 group, a Product 2 group and a Product 3 group. When viewing the submitted surveys, none of the grouped data appear in the Analyze tab nor in the Data tab. When I click the 'Print Current Response' button, the printed page also does not contain the grouped data. When I download the data or view the data in an ArcGIS Online map, the grouped data does appear. Is there something I need to do to view the grouped data in the Analyze and Data tabs? Thank you.

Hey Kelly. I got what i was after by going the python route that you suggested in this forum posting: Publishing to AGOL overwrites editor tracking data I shared my SDE data as a service definition file, uploaded that sd document to AGOL, and then used the python script below to publish the data. All the editor tracking data was preserved. Many thanks to you and Leon Scott import arcgis from arcgis.gis import GIS gis = GIS("http://drcmetro.maps.arcgis.com", "user.name", "password") sd_items = gis.content.search("owner: user.name AND title: service.title", item_type="Service Definition") pub_params = {"editorTrackingInfo" : {"enableEditorTracking":'true', "preserveEditUsersAndTimestamps":'true'}} sd_item = sd_items[0] sd_item.publish(publish_parameters=pub_params, overwrite="true")

Hi Kelly. The existing edits are made by ArcGIS Online users that belong to our Organization. Yes - you have the workflow correct.

I can enable editor tracking before publishing to AGOL. However, as part of the publishing process all my existing editor tracking info gets overwritten. I need to preserve the existing, i.e. pre-publishing to AGOL, editor tracking info as part of the publishing process.

Hi Kelly, First, thank you so much for your replies - and not just to this question. Your presence on the forums has solved many problems for me. Back to the issue at hand.... Esri tech support did confirm that the bug still exists. The suggested workaround is the good ol' "create new columns, calc data, publish data to agol, calc data back" process. Not particularly satisfying, but there you go.

Great idea.... here is the full response when trying to Save after ticking the 'enable editor tracking' check box on the 'settings' of the feature service: {"error":{"code":400,"message":"Unable to update feature service definition.","details":["Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.","Invalid edit fields definition"]}} thank you.

Any suggestions on how i can do the same thing - preserve creator/editor information - when publishing to AGOL via ArcMap/ArcPro? I have a similar scenario where we are regularly publishing data to AGOL from our SDE database. Instead of using python like the original poster, we are using ArcMap.

‎02-27-2017

Thanks for the reply Kelly. I'll give tech support a call. Any ideas about a solution, or alternatives i can try, off the top of your head?

I found this bug report from June 2014: NIM102295: If the editor tracking fields (Creation Date, Creato.. Surely they would have fixed that bug over the intervening 2.5 years?

I have created an AGOL hosted feature service. When I try to enable editor tracking by selecting the 'Keep track of who created and last updated features' checkbox, I get the following error message when clicking the Save button: "Unable to update feature service definition". And that is all...... The AGOL hosted feature service contains a single feature class and three related tables. The service was published from an 'SDE' instance. That source database had editor tracking enabled on the feature class and tables. I disabled editor tracking in the SDE instance just prior to publishing to AGOL to preserve the created/edited data as the hosted feature service was being created. In addition to trying to enable editor tracking on the AGOL feature service by clicking on the check-box, I have also tried using the REST admin endpoints on the feature service and the feature class layer. I have tried to 'Update Layer Definition' and 'Update Service Definition' by setting the edit fields info with the following JSON element: "editFieldsInfo" : { "creationDateField" : "CreationDate", "creatorField" : "Creator", "editDateField" : "EditDate", "editorField" : "Editor" } The REST response indicates 'success' but the update is not persisted. I have also tried the 'Add to Definition' REST endpoint. The response from there also seems to indicate success, i.e. no error error messages are displayed. But again the additional element is not preserved in the service definition. I am the owner of the feature service. Any thoughts on how to enable editor tracking on my AGOL hosted feature service?

I am trying to take advantage of the 'Favorite Answers' functionality, but it isn't working with repeats in my survey. I have a repeat that stores the names of all the people in the field crew. Each crew has a different set of up to 10 or so persons. So instead of having the crew lead type in those ten names each time they do some work, i was hoping to use the 'favorite answers' functionality so the names of the field crew people are entered once, set as favorite answers, then 'paste answers from favorite' when the crew starts a new survey. It seems that any favorite answers that are not part of the repeat are saved/pasted as expected. It's just the repeats that are not pasted. Is that the expected behavior? Is there a way to save 'repeat' answers?

Thanks for the info Mitchell. Is there an example of how i can use pulldata() to populate a select list? I have seen various examples of how to use pulldata() once a value is selected or entered, but i haven't found one yet for populating the select options. Maybe i am not looking in the right place. I have an external select working in my survey, but i was hoping to use the pulldata() approach if its possible.
