Workaround

  • Append the version parameter to the URL and point to a prior version (e.g. '&version=3.21').
  • For any note or read-only text questions with a calculation, wrap the calculation in HTML <p> tags. For example, if the original calculation is ${int1}, change it to concat('<p>',${int1},'</p>’). Then republish the survey.
  • For for a non-production survey, use the Survey123 beta website https://survey123beta.arcgis.com if possible.
