Dear All
I would like to know if it is possible to display a variable inside a
question label. Example: I have a select_one question asking the respondent
to state his last job type. I then want to ask him to describe this job
type by inserting the actual job type selected from the previous question,
so if the respondent selected "Sales Clerk" I would like the question to
read "Please tell me how many hours per week you work as a Sales Clerk" and
so forth?
Thanks
Bashir
Hi Bashir,
If you are using XLSForm ${name_of_prompt} will do it. If you are using ODK
Build, see
http://opendatakit.org/2013/01/metadata-outputs-and-calculates-in-odk-buildfor
an example.

For select-one and select-multiple questions, you need to map the value
back into the display string. To do that, use:
jr:choice-name(${yourQuestion}, '${yourQuestion}')
if it is a select-one.
For select-multiple, you would need a more complex expression to either
test for each possible value and return the choice text, or iterate over
the entered choices. See http://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/binding/ for
expressions that can be useful in that case.
Note that this needs to be revised if you are accessing the information
from within a repeat group. Search the group for earlier threads on that
issue.
