I am trying to figure out a way to simply hide a question without
removing it's values. I have a form with ten sections that may or may
not be used. When they are used, it will not be linear. I was going to
set up a group of questions with a yes/completed radio button. If the
section is to be used you will select yes and swipe to the next screen
which will have the one of the ten groups listed with relevance, I am
aware that this could be a long page. You could then swipe back and
then select completed on that section and then select yes for the next
section. when you swipe forward the previous questions would be hidden
and the next will be viewable. The problem with this is if you save
the form any questions that are hidden are not saved. I figure you
could go back and select yes to all the questions, but I was wondering
if there was a better approach. Sorry if it is a little confusing.
Thank you
This does not fit well in ODK Collect.
Each section should probably be an independent form.
Because the form definition language is XForms based, it has no concept of
jumping or navigating through different screens. What looks like screen
"navigation" is just the sequential display of each of the fields that
would be rendered together on one big large webpage if the form were loaded
into an XForms-enabled browser.

Thank you. I figured as much, but I just wanted to be sure someone
didn't know a trick I was unaware of.
