Urgent help needed with duplicates in select-one lists

Hi All

i had previously posted on the same question but havent been able to get a good solution to this problem here:

(https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/opendatakit/duplicates$20in$20select$20list|sort:relevance/opendatakit/AzYden0a3Lc/3oIFrn3qBAAJ)

Can anyone help me out. i have a form that has a repeating group, repeat-count being the number of list items in the select-one question. i want to validate the data entered in these to prevent a user selecting the same item in the select one question more than once that is

Example
select_one list choices > 1. Maize 2. Lemon 3. Melon 4.Rice
a user should be promted when they select 1.Maize more than once

i have attached the xls that i am working with the select_one which needs the validation for duplicates in that group is called * 1.1 Crop Production *

Second option if the above is not possible it to be able to keep track of all the select_one choice entered for while entering data so the user can know the list items data has been entered for

Please any help or ideas are appreaciated.

Thanks
Zahra

Hi Zahra,

One workaround is to use a select_multiple with the choices first.
Then for each of those, have a group of questions that is relevant to
each choice. I've attached an example.
