I am designing a form in ODK Survey. I have a multiple response question,
with ten choices. I need to accomplish two things:
One of the choices is "other." If a respondent selects "other" I need
to have a follow-up question.
Require at least one response to the multiple response question.
I frequently condition on responses to select_one questions using, for
instance, if selected(data('Q1'), '11'), where other == 11. However, this
doesn't work because if a respondent selects options 2, 4 and 11, the data
for Q1 is "2,4,11" or something similar. Is there a way to condition on
response #11, given that the total number of responses to Q1 might vary?
I hacked together an alternate version where I used 11 select_one responses
on a single screen, which worked fine. Then I can condition on whether the
11th response is a 1 or a null. However, I need to force the respondent to
answer at least one of these options. So then I face a totally different
problem: how to require a response to at least one of several questions on
a screen. Perhaps there is a back-end calculation I can do (add up
responses to all questions on screen, check if equal to 1 or greater)
before allowing the respondent to move on?
Any suggestions -- for either approach -- would be great. Thanks!
Attached gives you a template which you can use to structure what you need.
In short this has a multiple response that limits a total of 3 choices (but
this can be changed) and does not allow for to select 'None' and other
options together. It also conditions an 'Other Specify' question on a
previous question.

You should be able to do this. I've attached an example. If you look
at the calculates worksheet, the expand_walking calculation does this. If
the data_value that you are using on the choices list is an integer, this
could cause an issue. As long as you are using text, this should work.
The attached does something similar via the total_time integer. Here
total_time is being used to calculate the total time spent in transit to
determine the times given during data collection are correct. In your
case, you could add one to an integer and then at the end verify that you
have a value greater than 0 as you mention above. You also have the
ability to put valid JavaScript functions into the calculates worksheet.
The attached file has examples of this.

Brilliant! I used your solution, Clarice. Though, I also benefited from
Lloyd's response because it helped me work through a related problem by
showing me how to approach the problem of restricting the number of
responses in a multiple response question.
One follow-up question:
My form has two select_multiple questions. I want to have a question that
is asked only if the answers to these two select_multiple questions are
identical. Imagine I have Q1 and Q2, each select_multiple. And I want to
condition asking Q3. I tried the following condition, which works for
single response questions but not multiple response:
data('Q1') == data('Q2')
I also tried playing around with calculations but couldn't get anything to
work.
Any guidance would be helpful!

In terms of how to check if two arrays are equal, you could take advantage
of the Underscore.js library that is included in Survey. You could check
for equality using the _.isEqual function. I've attached an example. You
will want to look at the trans_eq calculation.
