hi,
after creating a quite long form, I need to add a "relevant" validation to
allow users replying the form or head them to the end of it. Since the form
was already created, I decided to define a group and add a bind like this:
but the form had a couple of groups already defined and now I'm facing with
some 'nested groups' issues, since data collected within the main group
can't be read from a child group. The issue is similar to this one:
http://groups.google.com/group/javarosa-developers/browse_thread/thread/e6f81b10c2d86433/16ead1cc459df056
I'm pretty sure that adding the relevant="/data/i11='HE' to all the
questions will work, but my question is whether there is an easier way to
achieve that. I always solved this 'reply yes or finish the form' by
grouping the questions and adding a relevant to the group's node, but it
does not work for the nested groups. There is any other way I'm not aware
of?
thanks!

The eIMCI form does this extensively -- groups used for this are not a
problem.
The cited issue refers to repeat groups, not simple non-repeating groups,
and is not a problem for what you are attempting to do.
I suspect you have not properly updated your formulas to refer to the
elements within this group, and have not wrapped the questions in the
within a construct.
e.g., original form:
...
...
...
...
...
form with a 'demographics' group added requires changes in the paths to the
data elements in all formulas.
...
...
...
...
...
Then 'age', which was referenced by /survey/age must now be referenced by
/survey/demographics/age. Similarly, references to 'gender' would need to
be updated.

hi Mitch,
thanks for your reply.. Actually, there is a repeat group involved.. sorry
if I didn't explain the situation clearly..
I have a group and, within this group, there is another group with a repeat
node: something like:
<h:body>
.....
.....
.....
The problem is with the jr:count in the repeat node. since /data/main/v24
is defined inside the 'main' group, it gets ignored and the repeat node
loops endlessly, with or without a jr:noAddRemove="true() (I've been never
sure what's this for).
I've been checking all the paths and they are correct (within the
<h:body>). If I remove the 'main' group, the repeat works just fine. I'll
probably have to add the skip pattern to all the nodes, but I was wondering
if there is any other way, or as said in the issue I linked, there is no
solution without moving the count source outside the group (something I
can't do)
In any case, thanks a lot for your response, it helped me clarifying the
behaviour..
pau.
