There seems to be a persistent rumor that Survey123 is being retired and FieldMaps will replace it, in addition to Collector etc. This rumor is especially prevalent within the US Forest Service and they are telling us to stop using Survey123!! The most recent reply to this rumor I have found is this one -survey123-questions/survey123-migrating-to-field-maps-and-unsup....

Hi Loretta. Esri has no plans to retire Survey123. Many organizations use Survey123 and we have no other plans but to serve them the best we can, growing Survey123. Esri does not have plans to replace Survey123 with Field Maps either.

I have consistently heard 123 is not going anywhere. It would take YEARS for FieldMaps to even get close to 123. FieldMaps is still super duper basic and really they should not be pushing it yet. It is just plain not ready. I think people saying these rumors have no idea how far FieldMaps has to go yet. Heck the forms map viewer cannot not even handle relationship classes yet. I mean how can you have a RDBMS with the R?

Came here to address this rumor exactly and appreciate the clear response.
I told them I believed they were confusing it with Collector which was deprecated and that Field Maps is the succesor tool.

This article is intended for users who have already installed and configured the ArcGIS Survey123 website in their environment. The ArcGIS Survey123 website installer must be downloaded from the My Esri website. For more information on running and configuring the ArcGIS Survey123 website installation, refer to the article: How To: Install and configure the ArcGIS Survey123 website

Procedure ArcGIS Enterprise portal hosted contentArcGIS Survey123 Connect provides form templates and samples to survey authors for use as a base to create new surveys. By default, ArcGIS Survey123 Connect attempts to access these templates and samples in survey123.arcgis.com, which is not possible in a disconnected environment.
The solution is to manually upload the form templates and samples to ArcGIS Enterprise portal, share them to a group, and set the ArcGIS Survey123 Organization properties to point ArcGIS Survey123 Connect to access them. Esri provides a Python script and SQLite database to automate this process, but it can also be done manually if desired.

The following are instructions to run the Python script to configure the ArcGIS Survey123 website offline capability. The uploadForms.py Python script is designed to run on a machine with ArcGIS API for Python installed.

ArcGIS Survey123 Connect makes internet requests to access other content such as tutorial videos, GeoNet and Twitter. These requests can be disabled by setting two ArcGIS Survey123 Organization properties, showTutorialContent and showCommunityContent. These properties are automatically set during the post installation wizard via the question, 'Are you installing the Survey123 website in a disconnected environment with no internet access?' Depending on the ArcGIS Enterprise deployment, a manual post installation may have been necessary which means this setting has not been updated.
