Hi @EarlMedina Thanks again for your suggestion. I ended up doing a truncate / append. Instead of using the edit_features() method on the FeatureLayer, i am using the append() method on my Table (my data has no spatial component). There's a bit more futzing around with uploading and deleting the source csv file, but its working for now. If you've got some extra time (and no worries if you don't!), could you explain more about how i could of done this with a pandas data frame. I was intrigued by your comment: This example assumes you have geometry to parse. If you don't then use "df" instead of "sedf" I poked around a bit, but couldn't figure out how to use the data frame as the source for the 'edit_features()'. I Thank you.

Thank you @EarlMedina . Option 2 sounds way better. I'll give that a try and let you know how it goes.

Hello. I am using the FeatureLayerCollection.manager.overwrite() function to overwrite an AGOL hosted feature service with the contents of a csv file. Something like this: lookup_table = connection_to_agol.content.get(file['agolItemId']) feature_layer_collection = FeatureLayerCollection.fromitem(lookup_table) response = feature_layer_collection.manager.overwrite(csv_file) This is working as expected, but all field aliases and descriptions for the hosted feature service are also overwritten when i overwrite the data. I'd like to not have to re-create that information every time the feature service is updated programmatically. Is there a different approach i can use to overwrite the data from a csv file while preserving the field aliases and descriptions? thank you

Hey @RobertAnderson3 . That is another cool idea. I didn't know those properties were available. Since the survey will likely be part of a StoryMap, it seems like we wont have access to deviceId, deviceModel, and OS. And my thinking is that 'userAgent' is specific to the browser, so we could group together all Chrome macOS users' answers (for example), but that would be as fine-grained as we could get with the cross-tabs. But that's closer to what we are imagining than we were yesterday.

That is a fabulous idea. Thank you for sharing it! I'm also intrigued by the suggestion from @JanelleGuzman for a common 'connector' across multiple surveys. I could see something like an auto-created guid when a user opens the storymap, or something along those lines, which gets submitted when each 'child' survey is submitted - a sort of session id if you will. But, i've got no good ideas yet on how that might be done. Do you?

I think of myself as a somewhat reasonable person, so i'm good with 'no' as the official answer. Here's a high level description of what we're wanting to do. I'm working with some park planners as they develop multiple options for improving an existing park. The planners want to use Survey123 to get citizen's feedback on various aspects of the multiple plans. And there are lots of 'aspects' to the options. We are imagining a scrolling story map where each 'aspect' of a the design option gets a full text description, graphics, images etc, etc, and then place a survey at the end of that aspect that asks multiple questions to get citizens feedback, rankings, etc. specific to that aspect. And then citizens can scroll down to the next aspect, get descirptions, images, etc and a survey at the end of that section .... and so on. Each 'aspect' would have its own Page in the survey. that's why i was wondering if we could specify what page to open the survey on. We want to keep all the answers in a single survey to support "cross-tab" analyses if possible Maybe this is starting to drag on too long. Anyway, i'd love hear ideas about how we could pull off something like this. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge.

Hello @abureaux . Thanks for your reply. By any chance is there a 'Long Answer' that can get to 'Yes'. Or is 'No' both the short and long answer?

Hi @JanelleGuzman There is no survey to share yet. We are still at the 'on the drawing board' stage at this time.

Hello. Is it possible to open a web-based survey to a specific page (like page 2 of 4, or some such) - perhaps from a URL parameter maybe? I saw a list of parameters here, but none of them looked promising. Are there other options for opening the survey to a specific page? Thank you.

@EarlMedina Thanks again for replying. I really appreciate you sharing your time and expertise. I may have stumbled over the problem and solution myself. I have two candidates: I noticed that in the config file i'm using to set various parameters like AGOL itemid, file name, etc, the file name did not include the ".csv" extension. So, i included that info. And, I noticed that i had deleted the original source csv from AGOL. I think i read somewhere in the docs that the source csv file needed to be present for the overwrite to work (or something like that). So i deleted the hosted feature service, reuploaded the original csv file and published that. Since doing those two things, the code is working as expected with the service data being updated. Regardless of what the source of the problem was, I wonder why the overwrite() method returned success = True when the update didn't work. I guess that's a question for another thread. Thanks again for your help.

Hello @EarlMedina . Thanks for replying. Correct, the schema is not changing. What JSON could be the problem - the service's JSON? I'll poke around on community for some truncate/append examples and give those a whirl.

Hi There. I am trying to use the ArcGIS python API to overwrite an AGOL hosted feature table that i own. The process seems to work, i.e. the FeatureLayerCollection.manager.overwrite() method returns {'success': True}, but the data in the AGOL hosted table are not updated. The items detail page of the hosted feature table indicates that it was updated at the same time as my log file indicates that the overwrite() operation completed. So all indications are that the overwrite worked, except for the data. (from Item Details page) (from my log file) If i update the hosted table via the AGOL UI, the process works as expected - the new data are present in the table. The table was originally created by publishing a csv file to AGOL. The csv file i am using to overwrite the existing hosted table has the same name and schema as the original file. my conda environment is using arcgis v2.1.0.2. Any ideas what's going on? files_to_update = json.loads((settings.SURVEY_LOOKUP_TABLES_TO_UPDATE).replace('\n','')) for file in files_to_update: lookup_file = update_survey_lookup_file(settings.SURVEY_LOOKUP_FILES_LOCAL_SOURCE, file) lookup_table = gis.content.get(file['agolItemId']) lookup_collection = FeatureLayerCollection.fromitem(lookup_table) LOGGER.debug("Start to overwrite AGOL table with " + lookup_file) response = lookup_collection.manager.overwrite(lookup_file) LOGGER.debug("the response from the overwrite operation: " + str(response)) LOGGER.debug("Done with overwrite of AGOL table with " + lookup_file) lookup_table.update(item_properties = {"title" : file['agolTitle']})

Setting Tab order seems like basic functionality that really should be present whether the survey is built in Connect or the Web. Here's my use case: Two of the questions in my survey are: Wind Speed (number) and Wind Direction (select_one). The Wind Direction question follows the Wind Speed question. It is 'relevant' and appears if the Wind Speed value > 0 (there's no need for Wind Direction if there's no wind). The Wind Direction question is required when its relevant. The 'problem' i'm having is that the form's Tab Order doesn't seem to include the Wind Direction question. For example, when a user enters a value >0 in the Wind Speed question and hits 'enter' (the blue arrow button on the number pad that appears for numeric questions), the tab skips right over the Wind Direction question. A user has to navigate back to the Wind Direction question. It's not a tragic situation for sure, but it is annoying for the users. Ideally, hitting the blue button on the Wind Speed question would tab to the Wind Direction question and pop open the drop down list of Wind Direction values.

At the Dev Summit this week, all the Survey123 folks were super helpful. For this particular issue Zachary Sutherby ( @ZacharySutherby ) suggested the following which is working exactly as i needed (sorry for the screen shot but that's what i got for now).....
