How to do cascading selects in ODK Build

Support
20

Hi @Mamman, @issa, @yanokwa,

I was thrilled by the addition by @issa of cascading, and other nice things, to Build Offline. Therefore I have tested it and made a little tutorial which is attached Build Offline-cascading select_Souirji.pdf (846.2 KB)
CascadingDemoGhani_default.xlsx (15.1 KB)
CascadingDemoGhani_default.xml (6.9 KB).
I would like to contribute the following remarks:

  • Cascading works very well in Build Offline. Many thanks @issa!

  • There's a little bug that produces a () under the column relevant which should not be there and prevents form validation, unless it is deleted;

  • I find that it would be more logical to call the 'Choose One' widget a 'Select One' widget to be consistent with XLSForm terminology. Otherwise, why not call 'Select Multiple' 'Choose Multiple'?

  • When there is no warning message, the worksheet warnings should not be created at all.
