Auto-complete?

[CarlBeyerhelm]

Will Survey123 support auto-complete?  I have a picklist with many values that is tedious for users to scroll through as they look for their choice.  It would be great if they could start typing and have the list advance to keep pace with their entry.

Hi Carl,

This is a great idea. I am tagging Survey123 for ArcGIS​ to hopefully reach a broader audience.

If this is not currently possible, I believe a place to list enhancement requests is here:

I did some digging and it does not appear to be supported.  I've got a question into the Survey123 team to see if it is in the backlog or planned for a later release. I'll let you know what I find.

OK, thanks.

Carl,  I just spoke with the Product Manager for Survey123.  Auto-Complete is in the backlog and will get address.  It likely won't make the cut for the summer but the team recognizes the need and will make it a feature after Survey123 goes final.

[CarlBeyerhelm]

OK, good to know.

Thanks (again) for the follow-up.

We finally were able to introduce a first cut of autocomplete functionality for large lists in the June update of Survey123 for ArcGIS. Some additional details here: International Public Service Day Update

Awesome, thanks for the heads up. I’ll be checking it out today with the Maintenance Director and his team at Florida DOT.
