Hello,

We're trying to create some dynamic single select questions in a  
survey (using PurcForms), but ODK collect is not able to read the  
resulting forms.

Is this a known issue with ODK collect? Or should we look at the xml  
being produced by PurcForms? It contains some tags which  
seem to be for the dynamic select functionality.

Thanks.

Luke.

this is probably a known issue. we don't yet support itemsets.

while the javarosa core has some support, it doesn't allow for  
filtering on those itemsets. filtering will allow you to do things  
like pick a province, then get a list of districts, then get a street.  
this functionality is a top priority for the core and when it gets  
implemented, we'll add it to odk.

as to purcforms, i dunno exactly what daniel has built for itemsets,  
but we'll worry about that when itemsets with filtering ships in the  
core.

Thanks Yaw,

We're finding a way to do it with skip logic for now. Means you have  
different bindings for the same question/answer though ...

Luke,  
That has been my method, too. It works, but the code is bulky. You can't do  
too many levels.
