Autocomplete appearance / select_one Enketo issue

[basj]

Hello Kobo community,

I am facing an issue regarding the use of autocomplete appearance while using a select_one question type, only with webform Enketo, as it is working well in KoboCollect.

Basically, I understood from the available resources that autocomplete appearance should work well in my use case but still, when opening the questionnaire on Enketo, the choices are not appearing.
Below is an image showing the different components (as I can only upload one file as new user) i.e:

• the test questionnaire XLSform used to illustrate the error,
• working result obtained using KoboCollect
  -none working result obtained on Enketo (Enketo version is here)

Thank you in advance for letting me know about potential solutions,
Best!

when opening the questionnaire on Enketo, the choices are not appearing.

This is working as designed (in Enketo). For the autocomplete appearance Enketo will display a text box widget where you start to type in the value you want, and it will filter and display underneath all the matching options. See Autocomplete

This behavior differs somewhat from KoboCollect autocomplete, which instead initially displays all the options, and then starts to filter them out as you type in text (as you probably observed).

So your form is actually working; you just need to start typing something into the text box in Enketo to then start to see what matches.
