1. What is the problem? Be very detailed.
Usually, you first chose a Country after a state and in the end the town
For that You can use cascade selected.
I my case I want to choose a town, and after that, depending of the country and the state Proposing 1 of 3 questions
I try to use selected with a Choice_Filter Colum In this form :
list_name name label image Next_Question
RSS Paris Paris DP
RSS Alger Alger SE
RSS Tunis Tunis SE
RSS Geneve Genève A1
RSS Berlin Berlin A1
RSS Monaco Monaco SE
RSS Kiev Kiev DP
But I didn't know how to extract this value dependant of my town value.
2. What app or server are you using and on what device and operating system? Include version numbers.
ODK 1.21
3. What you have you tried to fix the problem?
4. What steps can we take to reproduce the problem?
5. Anything else we should know or have? If you have a test form or screenshots or logs, attach below.
You can do something like instance('RSS')/root/item[name=${selected_town}]/Next_Question in a calculate row. Then you can set the relevance of your question based on that calculation. If your calculate is called next_question, in the relevant column for question se, you'd have ${next_question}='SE'.

Oops, I forgot one annoying part of this. pyxform, the tool that converts forms from XLSForm to XForms, doesn't have explicit support for this kind of lookup. Right now it sees your simple list of choices and builds the choice list internally to the form rather than in a separate instance. You have to force the creation of the instance by having a choice filter on that choice list somewhere in your form.
The trick I usually use is have a question that just has explanation text or a summary but that actually is a select_one with a filter that leaves no choices. See the form I linked to for an example. You can always put that in a field-list so it's in the same screen as another question.
In your case, you'd have something like
type name label choice_filter
select_one lst_immat explanation Some text here name = 'fake'
Any reason not to simply hide this 'fake' select_one with relevant=false()? It should still be sufficient to trigger pyxform to 'instance-ize' its options so that you can then look them up with XPath.
