1. What is the issue? Please be detailed.
Hello together!
In the forms we currently use, there are various fields where the type "note" is used. According to previous entries, context-specific notes are displayed for the user. Partly as a warning or also as a "stop sign" (required "yes"), so that a change must first be made before the message will not appear and the user can continue (similar to the constraints).
But: The notes are saved as a separate column in the form, even if no "name" is given. However, this is not necessary and ultimately inflates the form.
Is there a way to use the type "note" only as a temporary one? So that the user sees the message, but it is not saved as a column in the form? Or is there another workaround that makes this possible? Both hint and constraint are not flexible enough for our needs.
Hi,
In a straightforward way, the feature you are looking for is not available on ODK. However, there might be some workaround, and someone from this group may help you with that.
Thanks
