Modifiyinh itemsets appearance

The default appearance for itemsets widget is select1 ( From what I can see
on ODK when I run the sample xml ). Is it possible to set its appearance
just like how you can define select1 appearance in the xml? Example:

The reason is my itemsets has a lot of items in it, and using the normal
radio button just will no do.
Can someone tell or point me how can archive this requirement

You should consider categorizing or grouping your choices via a cascading
select. This can create a manageable set of values and make your concerns
go away.

Keep in mind that ODK Collect interprets the XML and renders it with a
limited set of Java implementations.

Enketo may have more flexibility in this regard (it is a webforms
processor).

I have tested using cascading select, and the problem with it is that it
takes too long to load the whole form. 7sec opening the form, and another
7sec during cascading select, its very interrupting especially later during
on field gathering data.
I will take a look at enketo and thanks for the response

Sorry for the really late reply, didn't notice there was a reply. Appearance works just find, but what I am looking into is changing the external itemset appearance from just a radio button to a more standard style where by you can change its appearance, example "quick".

Brian,

You can use external itemsets and those will load much faster. See
http://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/external-itemsets for more.

Also, can you confirm that you put the quick appearance on your
itemsets widget and that it did not work? I can't think of a reason
why that wouldn't work, so it'd be great if you could file a bug
report at https://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/issues/list so it can
be fixed (or at least looked into). If you have a small sample form
that shows the problem, please attach it to that issue.

Thanks,

Yaw

External itemsets overload the text input so there would need to be a
code change in Collect (the text widget) to read the appearance tag
and rework the external selects.

Perhaps you can write a patch and submit it?
