How to make calculation field to show in constraint_message?

Support
1

Dear all,

I did as below:

type name label calculation constraint
constraint_message

··· -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- begin group baseline_toilet Baseline of toilet integer bt_total Total integer bt_unimproved Unimproved . <=${bt_total} calculate bt_cimproved ${bt_total} - ${bt_unimproved} integer bt_improved Improved . <= ${bt_cimproved} Improved toilet should be less than or equal to ${bt_cimproved} in your case. end group

My purpose is when the users enter the data in Improved, it should show the
remaining number. How to make calculation field to show in
constraint_message?

Thanks,
Chan Choth

Dear all,

I found the solution now. We can't put in the constraint_message, but we
can put in the hint. Hope our ODK developer will think about this feature
in the future.

Thanks,

The next ODK Collect will be able to leverage the itext features for
customized required-but-not-present and constraint-violated messages.

This will enable you to reference values within the constraint message.

(Code for this is already in the code repository).

Hi,

Has this capability been implemented in ODK Collect now? When I try to reference a calculate field in a constraint message, it shows up as "${2}" rather than the text string that I would like - even though the text string works in a note field.

Thanks,
Laura

Hi Laura,

This sounds like a bug! Can you please file it at
https://github.com/opendatakit/collect/issues/new with a test form?
Once we have that, it should be much easier to fix it.

Thanks,

Yaw

Hi Yaw, sure - I've just put an example form up. Thank you!

And thank you for filing! It's been assigned and we'll put updates on
progress in the issue.
