Additional Information

When the 'bind::esri:fieldType' is null for a question in the XLS form, ArcGIS Survey123 Connect will not create a field for such questions in the survey's hosted feature layer. This means that while the questions appear on the form and can be answered like other questions, they do not store responses in the hosted feature layer. Therefore, when editing existing submissions through the Inbox, when the existing responses are loaded on the form from the existing fields, questions with a 'bind::esri:fieldType' value of null will remain blank since there is no response stored in the attributes of the feature layer in the previous submission. https://doc.arcgis.com/en/survey123/desktop/create-surveys/esricustomcolumns.htm#GUID-1176C96B-41CA-4607-8F19-86AC2E9A66E0 On the other hand, using the calculationMode parameter does not affect this behavior since it only applies to the questions that have a calculation. https://doc.arcgis.com/en/survey123/desktop/create-surveys/prepopulateanswers.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_FC295EA0A9354DCFA970B1D0B30D4DF4

Workaround

Place the second geopoint question in a repeat to capture its geometry.
