Survey123: Deleting one photo removes all photos?

[pjdohertygis]

IF multiple photographs are added to a survey and one of them is deleted, the app deletes all the following attached photographs. It would be best if only the selected photograph is deleted.

This is something that would need to be addressed by the Esri Survey123 Team.

Hi @pjdohertygis Can you clarify the workflow in more detail? Are you using the multiline appearance to enable the collection of multiple photos in a single question? We are not aware of any cases where photos would be deleted like you describe.

@IsmaelInRedlands - Dave Weber from MOTF1 raised this. I just tested not with our v7 template and experienced the same issue.

1. Open this Survey in the Survey123 app https://arcg.is/1Sz0L
2. Take one photo, then a second
3. Delete the first photo

Both photos disappear.

Is this something that we need to configure differently in our next version?

Thanks for sharing the survey. This helped identify the problem:

• Currently, you have two image questions where the second question is only shown (relevant expression) when he first photo is present. If you remove the first photo, the second image question is then hidden. This is more of a logical error on the authoring side.

I suggest you do the following:

1. Remove the second image question from your XLSForm.
2. In the first image question, change the appearance to multiline
3. Publish and refresh survey in mobile device.

More info on tricks to make photo questions more powerful at: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-blog/survey123-tricks-of-the-trade-photos/ba-p/897907 The blog describes how you can set a limit to the number of photos that people can submit and other things that could be of your interest.

Hope it helps. @pjdohertygis

Thanks @IsmaelInRedlands - @jdokemaps and I will incorporate this improvement into v8.

Done. I implemented the photo count as well. With that, do we still need the attachment question (if(string-length(${image0})>0,”has photo”,”no photo”)?

[pjdohertygis]

I don't think it is necessary for the Attachment View to work anymore - it just doesn't include points without attachments. https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-online/mapping/whats-new-with-attachment-viewer/

So, your call - does it still provide value in filtering data?

@jdokemaps any further action on this or can we close it out?

[pjdohertygis]

We kept attachment count, got rid of the attachment count.
