Hi Doug, One more question on this topic.... My survey has many repeats, some for things like contact information. In some instances we have one survey where there will be two "primary" contacts within a "Primary Contact Info" repeat. Right now, I am able to pull the first primary contact's information from my CSV into the survey via pulldata. Is there any way to use pulldata to bring in information for a second record in a repeat?  My guess is no, since I am basically creating a 1:1 match between a field in the CSV and a field in the XLSForm, however any insight you might have here would be really appreciated. ...

Hi Doug, It looks like I just need to do a lot of reformatting of the data. I was testing using a CSV that originated as a Google Sheet. Although I thought I'd cleared the formatting, I think there was some latent junk in there. I created a new CSV with a very small subset of the data (cleaned) and it seems to behave properly. I did not expect those weird issues to crop up but now I know - start from scratch! Your word wrap suggestion was really helpful - I wouldn't have thought to look for that. Once I saw it in my CSV I decided a fresh test was in order. If you have any other useful tidbits to pass by, I'd be appreciative! Thank you for being so helpful so quickly. Erica ... View more

Colin, I actually tested this today before opening a case and when I took my map offline in Collector, the hosted feature layer View with sync enabled also downloaded and displayed in my offline map! So, it appears that this is working for me now. I'm not sure if this was addressed in an update or what, but it's good news. Thanks! Erica ... View more

Hi James, As a very late follow-up question to this...pulldata functions work within repeats, only if the value you are trying to retrieve from your CSV was triggered by a field within the repeat? Since that may be worded poorly, here is an example I am trying with varying success: Question outside of the repeat: I want to be able to select the ${Restriction_Name} and have that, in addition to populating the ${Restriction_Number} also populate a number of fields within a repeat for 'Landowner Contact Information'. The way I am structuring the pulldata function in my repeat is: It seems as if it might intermittently work while I am testing this in Connect, however I am also seeing some weird behavior both in my ${Restriction_Number} field and in my ${Primary_Contact_Name} fields. This strange behavior includes a weird default value in ${Restriction_Number} (this is a required field with no set default), some random quotation marks (") in the ${Primary_Contact_Name} field and (once) unreliably sourced information in the ${Primary_Contact_Name} field (e.g. sometimes it pulls in the ${Restriction_Number} instead... Example #1 - weird default value present in Restriction Number before a Restriction Name is selected from an autocomplete picklist (select_one question): Example #2 - weird default value in Primary Contact Name before a Restriction Name is selected (same as above): My pulldata file is stored in the Media folder as a CSV. There are no field names with spaces in the CSV. It does seem as if some weirdness can be traced to commas within the pulldata CSV fields (can there be no punctuation in the pulldata CSV?), however I am curious about the strange default values in my form. There are no quotation marks in any of the fields within my CSV file. I am currently testing this as a proof of concept for potential use in one of my established surveys to assist staff with data entry. Any insight would be appreciated. Erica ... View more

Hi Colin, No worries. Yes, we are still having problems. If you think a Tech Support case is the way to go, I will do that soon. Thanks, Erica ... View more

Yes; I use the API to grab all of the non-edited fields I need to support logic within my Flows. I don't use it to get every field in the hosted feature layer, but you could do that (as it sounds like that is what you're describing above). Once note is that the HTTP connector in Power Automate is a "Premium" connector; it is available via 90 day free trial, but you'd need to upgrade your Power Automate account in the long run. The Parse JSON connector is not "Premium". ... View more

Hi Derek, We have been able to use this blog from Esri Canada to get around the issue you're describing in Power Automate - Webhooks, Microsoft Flow and the ArcGIS Rest API – Automating Your Web GIS  Although it describes altering another hosted feature service, we've been able to modify it so that this works on the survey's hosted feature service. I think it should help you accomplish your goals. Erica ... View more

Hi Colin, I am not aware of any other view layers we have that do this. In an attempt to correct this, I have deleted and re-created the view for this particular layer multiple times, with no success.  I actually did not know that going offline resolved that, however I just did a test and do not see the points from my View layer showing up in the offline map (although the layer is listed in the legend/layer list.  Erica  ...

Hi Colin, I have invited your account to a group from an account name DWSP_erica.tefft; the group is "Collector Technical Support - Esri". Within the group is the web map and layers. We are using Collector version 20.1.0 on iPad Pro 10.5in devices. Even with no filter on the View, it does not display in Collector. Thank you! Erica ... View more

Hi Colin, I do not exclude any fields from my View via the "View Definitions" option, however I have set a filter on the View layer through the Visualization page (through the filter icon, not the "View Definitions"). As a test, I removed the filter on the View's Visualization page, went into View Definitions > Define features, and applied the filter there. This didn't change anything, the layer is still not visible in Collector although it works fine in the web map online. I also did another test of just removing the filter from the View Visualizations page entirely and then applied it directly in the web map; this had the same result. My filter is set on a date field and I used - Date_Entered is after 4/1/2018. Also, you are correct that the layer shows in the list but doesn't render. Thanks, Erica ... View more

Hi Thomas, Thank you for the details and testing. Do you have a proper/recommended workflow for something like what I am trying to accomplish? Thanks, Erica ... View more

Hi Thomas Jones‌, I did a test and made the survey public, however I am still unable to submit from the ArcGIS Online account that is part of the collaboration group (I get the same 'invalid token' error). I did also check the Portal settings and anonymous access is not enabled for my Portal. I am curious...is this the correct way to go about this? Should the collaboration settings be configured differently to get this to work? I am rebuilding a workflow that currently lives in ArcGIS Online (and works very well there). My goal is to re-create the survey in Portal where storage credits aren't an issue (this survey will grow pretty large w/ the number of features and attachments), but share it both to ArcGIS Online where all of my users live, and publicly so that others within my organization who do not have AGO accounts can also submit work order requests. Also within Portal, I would like to re-build some management tools that a select few AGO users can use and access to edit the survey data, and view the data (specifically a tabbed Story Map containing various Operations Dashboards that are configured to access the Survey form in edit mode). I could also leave these management tools in AGO, but reference the Portal survey data. One aspect of this workflow that I have not tested is the two webhooks that I have built on my current survey in AGO; this adds additional complexity because one of the webhooks utilizes the ArcGIS Rest API - I have no idea if this is possible in Portal. I know there are limitations with webhooks, I just haven't gotten around to exploring these  yet. If you have suggestions on how I should be configuring the Collaboration to work in the manner described above, that would be really helpful. Or, if you have suggestions on Portal settings that might need to be adjusted to allow this workflow to work, that would also be appreciated. Thank you, Erica ... View more

Hi Zhifang, Thank you for the additional response. I did open an Esri support case and have requested that my organization is added onto the enhancement request you mention above. My organization just got Enterprise/Portal so we are finally testing out how Survey123 compares between Portal & ArcGIS Online. Best, Erica ... View more
