While connected to the internet is it possible to populate suvery123 fields from an xml page?

Hi Heath,

It is not currently possible to populate answers in a survey from an external xml page or other web based source. This is a feature enhancement we have in our backlog and I have updated your comments above in the backlog issue.

Phil, is this still applicable, we are looking for the same solution, that is to pull weather data into a survey from xml

Hi Nathan,

I currently have a METAR layer in AGOL that populates weather data.  I then use a configured Web Map to open Survey123 on the device.  Is this what you are looking for?

Heath, that's good to know, appreciated.  We were looking to auto populate a survey form, which is for Municipal Route Patrol without involving too much in/out activities for the user.  I think we working towards the JS function from below.

Hi Nathan,

This can now be done via custom JS functions in Survey123 using the pulldata @ javascript feature. It is currently in beta and documentation about how to do this is in the Early Adopter Community.

Thanks Phil, we are exploring this route, using your template.
