I've already got an Esri support ticket in on this, but thought I'd touch base with the hive mind... I've got a branch versioned line feature class that I regularly update with information about inspections (I'm oversimplifying here, but stick with me.) Every night, a Python script accesses the published editing service, selects the affected lines, and updates a field with the new data from the most recent inspection. Very simple, right? Select by attributes and field calc. Over time, these scripts have gotten slower and slower, to the point where what once took a few minutes now takes hours to complete. So I did a little digging. Last night, I decided to open the line feature class attribute table in SQL Server Management Studio so that I could see the hidden fields that are used by branch versioning. If you look at the feature class in Pro, there are 23,099 lines. In SSMS, there are 1,891,728 rows in the table! My theory is that using Python to batch update on Default is somehow failing to trigger the "trim" functionality built into branch versioning and that all of those edits are building up over time even though I don't see them in Pro. Has anyone else seen similar behavior?

I don't use edit mode because I don't always want to take the suggestions. I like being able to tinker and experiment based on the recommendations.

I bet that's the difference. I tried to deploy S123 in our Enterprise environment, but no one at Esri could figure out how to get it to work on a multi-machine deployment. I kept getting crytpic error messages during the setup process that no one could figure out. I finally gave up and decided to just use S123 in ArcGIS Online. I bet there is a permissions or access issue where ArcGIS Online does not know how to interpret user-managed Enterprise services. Maybe I'll try to deploy S123 in Enterprise when we upgrade to 11.5.

@HannesVogel - what version of Enterprise and S123 Connect? Maybe it doesn't work because we're on Enterprise 11.3. And do you have S123 installed on your Enterprise deployment? I'm using ArcGIS Online.

@HannesVogel - Esri tech support confirmed today that it does not work with Enterprise user-managed feature services. They logged an enhancement request for me: Defect #: ENH-000179151 Synopsis : Add non-hosted layer types as an option when using pulldata/dynamic choice lists in ArcGIS Survey123 Connect

Mystery solved. This only works with a hosted feature service, and I was using a user-managed service from my Portal.

Hi Andrew! Yes, I still have many dedicated services. Branch-versioned editing services are required to use dedicated instances, and I also have some services that do not respond adequately to increases in usage. I've been using this tool to get recommendations on how to tweak the instance pooling to make the user experience better.

@MarieCline_Delgado I've had the same issue since I upgraded. I miss that tool so much! Hoping to hear of a solution.

OK, then I've got that formatted correctly. I guess I'll just have to put in a help desk ticket because everything matches and I'm still not getting any results.

Oh yes, that's right. I forgot it was in the Choices tab. I double-checked my entry to make sure that I had the field name right, and it matches my service. Still no choices showing in the drop-down menu on the survey form.

Thanks, Christopher! This was a really helpful post that clarified a lot of my confusion. Do you know if the sharing settings on the service or the service type makes a difference? I'm trying to use a user-managed feature layer that is pulling data from a registered enterprise database. The layer is shared to a group, and the user that I'm using for the form is a member of that group. I don't get any error messages when I save, but the list is still empty. One thing I wonder: how will Survey123 know which field to pull data from if I am only referencing the layer in the service?

Yes. When I add autocomplete, I get a blank drop-down box.

I'm struggling to interpret Esri's instructions for generating a pick list from a feature service for a select_one question in Survey123 Connect. I'm referencing the Search function. Here's what I'm getting from the documentation: In the choices tab, enter the list name (doesn't matter what I call it), the name (must be the field name in the feature service that I want to pull values from), and the label field (doesn't matter what I call it). Here's my config: Then, in the survey tab, I populate the type as select_one buildingname (with the part after the select_one statement matching the list_name value in the choices tab), the name (with the name of the field in the feature service), the label (does not matter what I put here). Here's my config: Then, in the same tab, same row, I have to populate the appearance column with the search() function and the correct parameters, which are supposed to be search(tableName, searchType, searchColumn, searchText, filterColumn, filterText). I can tell that tableName is the URL of the service (including the number of the sublayer), but after that, I get hazy. Here's what I have so far: That syntax does not actually generate a drop-down menu on the survey. If I add the autocomplete parameter, I get a blank drop-down. Help?

I have created a dashboard using data from a hosted table that is published from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The user wants to be able to update the dashboard directly from the Excel spreadsheet that they maintain, which is why I went this route instead of migrating the data management into a geodatabase. Since I had to upload the Excel spreadsheet as an item before it could be published as a hosted table, that copy is still in ArcGIS Online even though I don't need it anymore. I tested updating the Excel spreadsheet's data, and it has no impact on the hosted table. But, when you look at the item page for the hosted table, it tells you clearly that it was created from the Excel file, so I'm unclear on whether that Excel file is necessary or not. What's the best practice for the Excel spreadsheet item? Do I: A. Keep the original Excel file in ArcGIS Online and do nothing with it. B. Keep the original Excel file in ArcGIS Online, and have my user update both the Excel file and the hosted table? C. Delete the original Excel file in ArcGIS Online and only update the hosted table.
