How to prevent survey users (participants) to go back to the previous
question if it is filled/responded?
Hi Swapnil,
This feature is not supported. Something similar was brought up before as a
desired way to "commit" an individual answer in psychological surveys (i.e.
make it ineditable, which would perhaps meet your requirements) but there
are no plans to support this.
If the demand for such a feature is high and there is funding, I would be
interested in discussing its possible implementation as a special 'mode'
(like pages mode).
Cheers,
Martijn

You can actually do this with ODK using a calculated field with the once()
function:
fieldA string label: "Enter your name"
firstEntryFieldA string calculate: "once(${fieldA})"
The firstEntryFieldA would be assigned the moment a value is set in fieldA,
and, from that point onward, would be immutable.
fieldA continues to be editable, but any subsequent edits do not cause
firstEntryFieldA to change.
The caveat here is that you cannot supply a default value for fieldA -- it
has to start as null (blank) in order for this to work.
In your data analysis, you would ignore the value of fieldA, and use
instead the value of firstEntryFieldA

Ah, very interesting workaround!
Yes, that technique would work in Enketo too with the same limitations as
Mitch mentioned.
