Accomodate very long answers

Hi
We have questionnaries to collect data about consensus.
Now in answer to a question the answers can be in multiple lines.
E.g Name of the family members.
So if the family member have 10 members there will 10 lines.
Is there any solution to accomodate these kind os answers efficiently.
Also i am looking for an example to localise the collect forms.
Is there any good example around it?

Thanks

Deepak,

You might want to put household names in individual prompts (for
example, using repeats). If you choose to put them all in one text
box, it should work fine in Collect, but Aggregate does have a 255
character limit on text boxes. If you want to go over that limit, specify a
longer length in the form. See Datastore String Length at

As far as localizing forms, see http://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/itext/.
