I am attempting to create a survey where users would enter their address using our parcel layer instead of ESRI's custom geocoder associated with the geopoint. Is that feasible?
I have a similar question where I'd like to record a polygon ID value based on geographic location to a survey. Essentially have someone walk to the location of a polygon of interest and have the survey form record the polygon ID. Is this possible?
Currently, the answer is dependent on a few things. We don't support connecting to a Feature Service for lookup yet in the Survey123 field app or the website. Using Survey123Connect, you could author a survey that has a select_one with the listing of the addresses; refer to https://community.esri.com/thread/186982-1k-5k10k-pushing-the-limit-on-external-choices . That could then be used in a pulldata function to lookup additional information in an accompanying CSV file. Currently, that survey would only be usable in the Survey123 mobile app, not the website. Working with information from existing feature services is an enhancement we want to be able to support.
Just letting you know that in the latest 3.12 beta builds available on theSurvey123 Early Adopter Communitywe have made significant improvements to large choice lists which improve the survey load time in both Connect and the field app.
On top of this there are now some new ways you can manage your choice lists dynamically and update them without having to republish the survey, meaning choice lists can now be populated and updated dynamically from a CSV file or hosted table shared in ArcGIS or directly from a feature service. Please check out thelatest announcement on EACand test out these new beta features with the latest 3.12beta builds.
