I have a survey in which I have a geopoint question set up to be required, forcing users to set their location. However, You are able to submit with out even clicking on the geopoint question. This needs to be a requirement because half of the purpose of the survey is to be able to locate where it was filled out for future reference. Is there any known issue with make the geopoint a required field?

Hi Vance,

Where are you verifying whether a location has or has not been submitted? 

As mentioned here...

Geopoint questions automatically populate a survey with a location provided by the device if one is available. If a device doesn't provide a valid location in its survey response, Survey123 will return a location of 0,0

All surveys require a location to be submitted by default. 

In all cases, it will be necessary for the submitter to allow Survey123 to use their location.  Otherwise, the locations will also end up at 0,0.

If you would like more accurate location I would suggest using the Location Accuracy Threshold parameters as mentioned here..

Let me know if you have further questions related to this.

Best,

Brandon
