Hi Florian, I didn't know you were living in Montpellier since I read your introduction ! It seems like people from Montpellier really want to select multiple from map 😅 Looking for some partial answers, I found this discussion to create options to select from a repeat group. You'll have to estimate the max number of facilities users wil plot... > [@Retrieving answers from a repeat group and using them to create multiple-choice lists for two levels of questions](https://forum.getodk.org/t/retrieving-answers-from-a-repeat-group-and-using-them-to-create-multiple-choice-lists-for-two-levels-of-questions/42454): > > 1. What is the issue? Please be detailed. Hello, I would like to retrieve the answers that are within a repeat group and create a multiple-choice question based on those responses. I want to do this at two levels for the repeat group. I have already achieved the first level (see question E\_7), but I am still missing the second level. I have tried several approaches, but I haven't been successful because it's within a repeat group. I have reviewed the discussions ([https://community.kobotoolbox.o…](https://community.kobotoolbox.org/t/cant-create-a-select-multiple-question-based-on-a-list-generated-by-responses/30637/5) I imagine, as in the given example, dynamically populate the geometry column of the choices list... You use case could also be another scenario for this discussion : > [@Display existing geometry when capturing new point/trace/shape on map](https://forum.getodk.org/t/display-existing-geometry-when-capturing-new-point-trace-shape-on-map/57427/7): > > Thank you @ahblake for sharing all these insights on what’s possible right now! @Edmonds, it sounds like dynamic default likely does what you need in this case and should work today! You might also be interested in exploration we’re doing around showing existing geometry as context for shape/trace questions! For those interested in displaying existing geometry as a reference while mapping new ones, we have a few open questions we’re exploring and would love your thoughts.
