Conditional multiple selects using choice filters (almost similar to cascade select in single select options)

User Support Form Building

I’m curious if this can be coded via KoboForms…
Scenario: You have a question (#3) that has the following multiple select options: A, B, C, D, E

If the user selects A, C E in #3, can question #4 (which is based on what the user selected in #3) once again show ONLY A, C & E as my options?
So now question 4 only shows the following multiple selects: A, C, E.
Is this possible at all?
How would you implement (code) it? It simply to avoid (reduce) data entry errors from the collectors. If not, we’ll have to just put all possible multiple select options in question #4 – like this: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, Other – even though it is DEPENDENT on what was selected in question #3.

Thanks in advance.

DataMax,

Not exactly. You can have cascading selections, which is where one answer constrains the options in a subsequent question. Instructions here: http://www.kobotoolbox.org/support/userguide/koboform/cascadingselect

You can also do a lot of clever things with Skip Logic.

Did you ever find a way to do this? I am looking to do the same thing now.

DataMax,

Try this, this is the opposite of what would you like, Just change the code in choice_filter column.
