Hi ODK Forum! I'm hoping someone can help me with the following issue. Background Information: We have built a beneficiary registration form, which includes a repeat group to allow our staff to register multiple people in one instance. Within the repeat group, we need to collect the location of eac…

Cascading selects within repeats require using current() to specify the filter you want to apply. If you have a first variable named city and a second one named neighborhood, your filter for the neighborhood would contain something like current()/../city. Unfortunately, there's a bug in Collect that…

Hi, Welcome to the ODK forum, @Kate_Seong We're glad you're here. When you get a chance, please introduce yourself here . I'd also encourage you to add a real picture as your avatar because it helps build community! Please find attached a modified version of the form. Additionally, since you have …

Hi Imran, Thanks a lot for your help. I have since added a photo and introduced myself! Unfortunately the issue has not been resolved - it is still not working in ODK. Any other ideas? Or how I can use an indexed repeat here?

Hi, What other issues are you experiencing with the form? A little more information will help me to help you better. Have you tried the version I sent you as attachment? After the modification, I checked that for and the issue you had previously is not present anymore. I noticed that you are trying…

Hmmm indexed-repeat shouldn't be needed her at all. Looks strange I tried to use indexed-repeat anyway but it didn't help. looks as if there is something special if we use choice_filter.

Hi imran, Thanks for your response. I did try the version you sent me but we are getting this error message calling for an indexed repeat? Screenshot attached here. I’m not sure why. Dual language yes - I removed from the survey sheet in the sample though. Will this cause a problem with this issu…

Yes, not sure about this one...the error message is asking for an indexed repeat now

Hi, Use this link as trial. Trying to understand what is expected behavior of the form if "Registered Attendance" is select and what if "Mass Attendance" is selected? Attached the form I converted. I think you simply have some logical issues. Thanks I_dataentry_test.xls (117.0 KB)

Hi Imran, Okay, so the repeat should not come up if they are selecting mass attendance. If mass attendance, we have separate questions, which I omitted from the sample because they are totally separate from the repeating group. So, the only time that we want to ask "How many people are you registe…

Hi Hélène, That's really great information for me, thanks so much for sharing. I am super new with this so please bear with me! I have 4 levels of cascading select here - we'll call that district, subdistrict, village, and subvillage for now. As an example, I'm using the following in my choice_fil…

You've got the concept! The second expression you mentioned is exactly right for Collect 1.17 and older. Again, just understand that this behavior will change in 1.18 and that you'll need a ..!! In more detail -- for subdistrict, provided that you have a question named participant_district that is …
