Additional Information

This issue is not reproducible using the versions of the app shown in the demo video (Connect 3.14.256, field app 3.14.237/3.14.242), or the latest versions (Connect 3.14.281, field app 3.14.262) with the supplied survey, EXIF sample survey available in Connect or additional test surveys. This issue has been tested on Android 9 and 11, as well as iOS 13.7 mobile devices. The camera launched from the web app running from a browser does not appear to be capturing any of the EXIF metadata as this is device dependent and not unexpected: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/survey123/desktop/create-surveys/xlsformmedia.htm#GUID-22BCA2FE-B1F5-428A-B616-1623D0D46A82 "Other image EXIF tags that can be extracted by Survey123 are listed below. Be aware that depending on the hardware being used, not all of these tags will be available." This can be confirmed by selected an existing image (known to have EXIF metadata) and observing whether the information is displayed in the web app survey form. This works as expected.

Workaround

Use the date information by the photo name created by the survey in the expression, as below:

concat(substr(${fotoname}, 5, 9),'-',substr(${fotoname}, 9, 11),'-',substr(${fotoname}, 11, 13),'T12:00:00')
