Additional Information

According to the documentation, the calculationMode parameter is not supported for 'username', 'email', and 'deviceid' question types. https://doc.arcgis.com/en/survey123/desktop/create-surveys/prepopulateanswers.htm Using pulldata("@property") function to retrieve values as a more flexible option is recommended in other question types such as 'text' or 'calculate' with a calculation that retrieves user or device info (for example, pulldata("@property", 'username')) which also supports using the calculationMode parameter. https://doc.arcgis.com/en/survey123/desktop/create-surveys/xlsformessentials.htm
