Dynamically pre-load from data in Aggregate?

Support
1

Hi all,

Is it possible to dynamically pull data already stored in Aggregate into a form on Collect?

Eg:
Form1: Register a sample/user/household/item/etc by assigning a unique identifier
Form2, 3, 4, 5 etc: Collect further data on that previously registered ID. Ideally it would be possible to select the ID from a pre-populated select list as opposed to having to manually enter it.

I realise this could be done via the pre-populate data method described in the docs but am specifically looking for a dynamic means - i.e the Aggregate database would be queried on the fly for possible options.

If not, anyone interested in exploring what would be required to enable this?

Hi Jane,

This will require speccing out the feature first. I know it's a
feature that folks want and need, so the team at Nafundi would
certainly be interested in helping you spec it out!

The first thing to do is to file an issue at
https://github.com/opendatakit/xforms-spec describing the problem and
we can go from there.

If you want more real-time interaction with the developer community,
we all hang out at http://slack.opendatakit.org.

Looking forward to working with you on this,

Yaw
