Hi guys, I want you to show an error message when entering the wrong letter, as illustrated in the photo. How do I do?
You could do this through the regex code as outlined in the support article Restricting Text Responses With Regular Expressions.
I can have an example. I tried to do it using regex a week ago and I can’t.
You could do it as outlined in the image shared below:
In the survey tab of your xlsform:
Data entry screen as seen in Enketo: when a wrong entry is made
Data entry screen as seen in Enketo: when a correct entry is made

Hello Kal_Lam,
The user must enter the same letters in the Cadastral Block and Parcel Code field.
If he enters a different letter, it should display an error message.

It didn’t work for this problem. I want to put a dependency, the letters that are put in the first field must be the same ones in the second field.

So you mean if you enter say Test in the first question, your second question should allow only Test? Did I now get it correctly?
If you enter A in the first question, the second question must be A001. So, I must put an error message if the user enters A in the first question and in the second question AA001.
The letters entered range from A-I and the digits from 0-9, you can enter up to 3 digits.

And so what would it be like in the second question if you enter B in the first question?
It would be B001 or B002 to B009

A 3-digit combination of 0-9

I want a condition that says that the code letters painted in red must match. The letters entered in the first field must be the same as in the second.

Hi @finercia_americo
If you look at the use of constraints, you should be able to apply constraints together with the indicated logic by @Kal_Lam
- Use the regex for the first question
2…Use constraints to ensure the second question equals the first question.

Stephane

I’m sorry but I can’t solve it

@finercia_americo, this could be a bit complex but you could do it as outlined in the image shared below:
