I am building a survey in XLS and I’m trying to create a question type where the user selects multiple options from a list based on responses they gave in a previous repeated section.
The respondent provides information on household members (names, occupation, etc). We then ask another question asking if any household members have worked for a specific business we are collaborating with in our research project. If they answer yes, we want the respondent to identify which one(s).
The question type code I was using was “select_multiple${NameHH}” which is the question name in the repeated section that collects hh member names. However, when I upload the form to kobotoolbox, those question types get an error. Is it possible to do this? Or should I try another solution?
This was the solution I was trying to adapt from. Although, in our project, we would like respondents to be able to select_multiple rather than just select_one. So if the respondent is prompted to indicate “which family members work or formerly worked at x business?” They would be able to check the boxes next to the names. Does the solution work with “select_multiple” in kobotoolbox? As I have it now it doesn’t work.
thanks @tboswellut@Kal_Lam @tboswellut
Apparently the feature “select_multiple from repeat group” is not available yet
But if we expect the maximum number of choices, we can overcome the issue with an alternative solution
I’ve followed the responses given here and I feel my challenge is an even simpler one yet quite a pickle to figure out.
I am equally building a survey in XLS and I’d like the selected responses from a multi-select question to be the only one’s appearing in the next multi-select question.
For example;
q1 Of the following fruits, which ones do you know?
Apple
Banana
Mango
Orange
Kiwi
Respondent selects Apple, Mango and Kiwi, then the following question (q2) only includes in its select-one/multi-select options what was selected in q1
q2 From among the fruits you selected, which ones are your favourite?
Apple
Mango
Kiwi
