I created a form using Web Designer and am now trying to update the form using Survey123 Connect 2.7.72 on Windows 10. I get the following error when saving the XLSForm: And here is the row from the XLSForm: Everything looks fine to me - I can't figure out why the error message is occurring. Any suggestions? Or am I missing something obvious? Thanks, Shane ... View more

I am working on a violation form and there are two capabilities that I think are needed but not yet supported by Survey123: Auto-incrementing ticket numbers Printing the violation form in the field to be able to hand the violation ticket to the offender. Are there any plans and/or suggestions to add these capabilities to Survey123? Or have I missed something? (I did a search and did not really find anything specific to these issues.) I am aware of this article on ticket numbers: https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2017/11/25/creating-ticket-numbers-in-survey123-for-arcgis  but I don't think it really solves the problem! In the paper-based system, the inspector/office is given a book of blank forms, with a starting ticket number - and then these ticket numbers are used "offline" with the numbers independent of other books of forms. It would be really useful if Survey123 supported auto-incrementing ticket numbers out-of-the-box. If a form is used in the Survey123 app then this could be considered a potential off-line use and so a starting number would be "issued" with an incrementing suffix which is unique and independent of other ticket numbers. For the printing, I am aware of the Report (beta) capability, but this does not solve the need of being able to print the ticket/violation in the field. Adding this report capability to the form would be really useful. I think both of these needs are more applicable to private forms and less applicable to public forms. If this is true, then there would be a small number of field users (officers, inspectors) so a small number of "offline ticket number + suffix" issued. Any suggestions on meeting these needs? I would guess that these are very common requests. ... View more

Is there a way to open a Survey123 web form and pass field parameters to the web form? Here is what I want to do: I want to create a hyperlink to open the Survey123 web form and pre-populate fields, including passing the x,y coordinates for the geopoint location. Any suggestions on how to do this? (Are custom-URL parameters only supported for the Survey123 apps, or are they also supported for the web form?) Thanks! ... View more

Is there any information on the "calculate" field type? It is listed as a valid field type in the XLSForm "types" worksheet, but I can't find any information in the Survey123 help on this. And the "Calculations" sample uses the "calculation" column, but does not use the "calculate" field type. Thanks! ... View more

The Survey123 web design site has an option under the Other section (when editing the settings for a question): "Cache answer to this question" Is there any more information on this setting? Where is this setting saved? I opened the form in Survey123 Connect, and could not find any setting in either the XLSform or the various Settings. Thanks, Shane ... View more
