Hi Kobo Community,
I’m coordinating a health-focused project in Colombia, using KoboToolbox to collect data across multiple interventions (nutrition, education, social programs).
**Project dashboard: Enketo Express for KoboToolbox
Our form captures beneficiary data such as: ID type and number, Full name, Date of birth Residence, gender, lactation status, etc.
Since beneficiaries often participate in several activities over time, we’d like to avoid re-entering their data if they have already been registered.
Is it possible to search by ID number and autofill previously collected data* into the form if a match is found?
Or alternatively:
- Can we preload existing records to support autofill?
- Could
pulldata()
help with this kind of dynamic lookup?
I haven’t found a clear method for doing this within the same project, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
