Hi all, just wondering if/when dynamic selects from preloaded csv data will be integrated as a feature into Survey123?

I've been having trouble getting them to work, then stumbled across this website; Survey123 for ArcGIS support for XLSForm  which indicates that it isn't currently supported, although it also says that preloading CSV data isn't supported, which it is (the Esri YouTube video was very helpful!).

If it is supported, could somebody please point me in the right direction for some help/tutorial on how to get them working? This would be very handy for us as we have field crews that often return to the same location (such as a borehole) and being able to pick the site id from a list that we don't have to hard code would be great!

Hi,

Dynamic selects from CSV data is not supported yet.  The current solution would involve creating a choice list in the form's excel file whose values are an id field in the CSV.  Updating the CSV would require a republishing of the form anyway, so the choice list can be updated at the same time.  Thanks for pointing out where the doc got a little stale!
