Workaround

Configure a custom pop-up, and create a custom URL scheme that obtains field values from the record.

  1. Open the web map for the survey.
  2. In the Content pane, click the ellipses next to the feature service.
  3. Click Configure Pop-up.
  4. Change Display to A custom attribute display as shown in the image below:
    1. Image 6: Custom_Attribute_Display.PNG
  5. For URL, this is the custom URL that you have created. For Link Text, this is the survey URL.
    1. Image obtained from the following link, https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2016/07/30/understanding-survey123s-custom-url-scheme: Image 7:
  6. This pop-up is the same for all of the features. To populate fields based on the records, use curly brackets around the name of the field.
    1.  arcgis-survey123://itemID=7c7f4cab14a44388bbd68a4d46d5ca2b&field:Name={Name}&field:Number={Number}
      1. Name = {Name} means that the Name field is populated based on the Name of record. Do the same for any other fields desired to populated.
      2. For more information, refer to the following link, https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2016/07/30/understanding-survey123s-custom-url-scheme.
  7. Click OK > Save.
  8. This successfully shows as a hyperlink in both Collector for ArcGIS (Android) and Collector for ArcGIS (iOS).
