How to make a drop-down list out of answers to multiple earlier questions

My survey starts with 10 questions that each ask the name of household
member 1-10.
Much later in the survey, I ask about 30 different chores that household
members might do. For each chore, I would like to offer the respondent a
list of names of the 10 household members so they can tick off which of
these were involved in activity A (ideally like a select_multiple list),
then same for activity B and so on...

Is this possible in XLS (which is what I'm using). If not,could I add code
directly into XML to add this feature?

Thanks
Sam

Hi Sam,

There is currently no support in ODK for this kind of dynamic select.
One alternative is to use the ${} output syntax in your prompt label
to ask what activities (using a multi-select) each person has done. So
then you'd have 10 prompts, one for each person, and each prompt would
have the list of 30 chores.

I already replied to this query; search form my replies to your post. Yes,
you can do this in the XML, but not in XLSForm or Build.
