Workaround

There are two workarounds:

  • Turning off the read-only rule allows the user to go back to the draft and manually place the geopoint.
  • Use an expression to make the geopoint question read-only anywhere except for the draft folder. In order to do this, use pulldata("@property", 'status') to calculate the current status of the survey (which returns draft, submitted, sent, or inbox if the survey was opened from Drafts, Outbox, Sent, or Inbox, respectively. An empty string is returned if the response is new.) with calculationMode=always in bind::esri:parameters column and use it as an expression to determine when the geopoint question should be read-only (for example ${surveystatus}!='draft').
