Where is the ability to load choices from a database dynamically to Survey123 on ESRI's to do list.  This would be very helpful.  Just knowing if this on horizon would be very helpful.

Hi Travis,

This is a feature that we would like to get to before the end of the year, though there are a couple of underlying issues to doing this effectively (especially with long lists in an offline capacity) that we need to address first.

James what is considered a long list?  hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands?  I ask because we use our forms offline and are probably in the hundreds.

Thanks

Travis

We're more concerned at the tens of thousands on up - there tends to be a high performance degradation at that level as most of the processing has to occur through relatively simplistic comparison operations.

Thanks James. For selfish reasons ESRI should release an update to support those of us that want 1,000s of records and worry about the 10,000’s in future releases.

I'm in a similar situation. I also have a few related questions.
