XLSForm problem

Support
#1

Hi, I am Minilik.
I want most of my survey question with choos_one type with "specify if other" option. hence I defined each questions and for each I created a text type to specify if "other" is selected.

I used selected(question,'value') syntax on the relevant column of my XLSForm but I couldn't get it correctly on my ODK collect.

example:
on the survey tab:
type name label::eng relevant
choose_one Q203 gender
text Q203_other Specify selected(${Q203},'Q_203_Other')

On the choices tab
list name name label::eng
choices_PAGE_II_Q_203 Q_203_Male Male
choices_PAGE_II_Q_203 Q_203_Female Female
choices_PAGE_II_Q_203 Q_203_Other Other

This compiled to XML and on the ODK collect, It doesn't show me the text box when I select "Other". but it shows-up when I navigate to the previous page or the next page or when I change language.

I couldn't figure out where my mistake is.

Best.

Hi,
my guess is that you have put questions Q_203 and Q_203_other on the the
same screen; if so, your relevant condition won't apply.
Put these two fields on different screens.
Best,

Minilik,

I think Amal has this correct. This gotcha is documented at
