Summary

When building a survey in ArcGIS Survey123 web designer from a blank survey, a common requirement is to capture a point on a map and automatically store the related address text in another field (for example, a “City” or “Address” text box). 

In Survey123 web designer, this can be done without XLSForm by using a calculation that extracts a property from the Map (Location) question, such as Matched address, into a Singleline text question.

Procedure

  1. Create the survey from a blank survey:
    1. Open Survey123 web designer and create a New survey > Blank.
    2. Save the survey name and basic settings as needed.
  2. Add the Map (Location) question.
    1. From Location, add Map (this is the Location question that collects a point).
    2. (Optional) In the Map question settings, set the locator and basemap in the map configuration (Map and extent settings).
  3. Add the Singleline text question:
    • From Text, add Singleline text (example label: “City” or “Address”).
  4. Extract “Matched address” into the Singleline text question.
    1. Select the Singleline text question and open Calculation > Edit.
    2. Choose Extract data (not Number or String concatenation).
    3. Set Source to Question.
    4. Under Extract property from question:
      • Select the Map/Location question (example: “Location”). 
      • Select the property Matched address

      1. Save the calculation and preview the survey.

      Expected result

      When a respondent sets a location on the map, the Singleline text field is populated with the Matched address returned for that location.
