Relevance error in XML

Support
#1

Hi all,

I am new to ODK and trying to create my first form. I am having trouble with the Relevance option. I would like to make an entire group of question appear only if "yes" was selected in the previous question. I have used the language here (http://xlsform.org/#relevant) in ODK Build, but when I verify the XML file or try to upload the form to Aggregate, I receive an error. Currently, this is what I have in the Relevance box of the group of question: ${infomal} = ‘yes’

Can anyone help me? I know this shouldn't be too difficult.

Thanks,
PW

PW, the syntax ${infomal} = ‘yes’ is correct, but it is a bit hard to
trouble shoot with the information given. Do you have a variable by the
name informal? If so, what type is it (select one, select multiple, etc)?

Well, it is just a typo: change this : ${infomal} = ‘yes’ to ${informal} =
‘yes’, because you have the variable informal not infomal

Thank you for the response. Yes, the question immediately before is named informal, it is a select one question type. I have attached both the XML and XLSForm files if they help.

Thanks again,
PW

Sorry for the typo, but that is not the main error. After fixing the type and trying to validate the XML form, I receive this error:

Thank you again for helping.

Hello, could we have the xlsform (or the section with error)? We can
examine the new error and let you know how to handle it.
