I have a group section in a Survey123 form that has Description text: Your contact information will only be used to follow up about your submission if needed. It will not be shared publicly. When I preview the form in the browser, and when I view the published form in the browser, the Description text has scroll arrows beside it. That's unexpected because all of the text is visible by default without scrolling. Idea: Remove unnecessary scroll arrows from group element's description text.

@AaronKoelker Thanks. Yes, I'm sure I published it. But maybe I didn't refresh the page. Not sure. Anyway, I can see the View button now.

I've created a AGOL Experience Builder app and published it. Is there a way to directly navigate to the Experience Builder app in the browser? I can edit and preview the app, but I'm wondering if there's a way to skip the editing part and just navigate directly to the app in the browser from the AGOL > Contents tab. For example, with a Survey123 form, I can view the published form in the browswer without editing it in Design & previewing it. And for a web map, I can open the web map in the browswer too: Is there a way to do the equivalent with an Experience Builder App?

I have a "Review Survey Submission" feature layer and an "External Map Points" feature layer. I want to edit an existing point from "Review Survey Submission" (edit the Status field) as well as copy its values and paste them into a new "External Map Points" point feature. In other words, I want to edit both layers at the same time in separate open popups or panes. As far as I can tell, this can't be done in the Web Editor - Instant App. Could this functionality be added? I don't want to use the attribute table by switching back and forth between layer tables to copy/paste the values. Here's a screenshot of what it would look like in Experience Builder with two separate Edit widgets. Experience Builder might work for this - TBD. But I want to submit this idea for Web Editor as well, since it would be good to have multiple app options. Related: Map Viewer — Edit two layers at the same time in separate open popups or panes

This idea is to add a secondary title (subtitle) to a Survey123 form via the UI. Question: Add a secondary title to a Survey123 form?

When reading this bug report, it’s not clear if the bug has been fixed or not: In ArcGIS Pro 3.5, Calculate Field does not honor selection or layer filters when using SQL as the expression type on file geodatabase data https://support.esri.com/en-us/knowledge-base/calculate-field-does-not-honor-selection-or-layer-filte-000036268? Article ID: 000036268 I could make a guess based on this wording: This issue will be addressed in 3.5 Patch 1 (3.5.1), planned to be available the first week of June 2025. Until a patch is available, the software update service will be disabled in ArcGIS Pro. Customers who understand this issue and the workaround can download ArcGIS Pro 3.5 from My Esri. But I’m wondering if I’m missing something. Why isn’t there a status indicated? I don’t work in I.T., so my MyEsri account isn’t linked to my organization’s GIS admin account, so I couldn’t check the bug status there.

As @wayfaringrob said, “I think about this every day.” Link And @Marie_Ducharme and others are right: “Adding a badge or icon in the TOC to indicate that the dataset has a filter, any filter, would be super useful, and not that complex... Link

Using an existing/published Survey123 form: If I create a new field via "Manage in Survey123 website" > Design, then Survey123 will automatically create a new field in the existing Feature Layer when the form is republished. For example, if I create a new field with the label "Nation/Community", then Survey123 will create a field called nationcommunity. Idea: Let me choose the field name if I want to. Otherwise, automatically generate it from the label as usual.

Is there a way to add a secondary title (subtitle) to Survey123 form? Idea: Subtitle beneath main form title

‎02-24-2026

The solution I will go with is an Experience Builder app that has two editing tools, one for each layer. I see now that I need to edit the features from both layers.

@EmilyGeo Feel free to close this idea. I created a separate Web Editor idea: Pop-up with fewer clicks

‎02-24-2026

Pop-ups are supported in Web Editor with a few clicks. To view a pop-up, you can Select a feature Open the Selection pane Click the options menu next to the feature name (...) and choose Show pop-up. Pop-ups in Web Editor Template (Instant App) This idea is to access the pop-up window with fewer clicks.
