Hi @bazzouzi,
Welcome to the community! Would you mind explaining your issue a bit more clearly so that we are able to provide you with an appropriate solution.
Have a great day!
Thnks a lot!
I mean in a grouping questions if I select an option it should be deactivated in the next repeating grouping questions or at least generate an error if there is redundancy.
Hi @bazzouzi,
Would you mind sharing us your dummy question so that we see if it is possible in KoBoToolbox.
Have a great day!
Sorry don"t understand 
Hi @bazzouzi,
Try drafting a list of question (maybe 2/3) and share it with us (showing how you would like to see the question) so that we could have a closer look at it.
Have a great day!
Hi @bazzouzi,
Or is it something like this you are looking for as discussed earlier in the community:
i.e. if you use this example, you will be able to produce only the list of choices that has been selected in the previous question.
Have a great day!
Hi @bazzouzi,
Looking at your requirement i would like to recommend 3 approaches for solving your issue:
Approach 1:
You could use the matrix question to design your survey form. For details on how to design a matrix question type in KoBoToolbox, you could also see the support article here. Alternatively you could also build it as outlined in the image below:
In the survey tab of the xlsform:
In the choices tab of the xlsform:
In the setting tab of the xlsform:
Data entry screen as seen in Enketo:
Reference xlsform:
Matrix.xlsx (12.6 KB)
Please note: this works best in Enketo.
Approach 2:
You could use the grouping method. For details on grouping question type please see the support article here.
In the survey tab of the xlsform:
In the choices tab of the xlsform:
Data entry screen as seen in Enketo:
Reference xlsform:
Grouping Question.xlsx (11.4 KB)
Please note: this should work best in both Enketo as well as KoBoCollect android app.
Approach 3:
You could also use the repeat group method as outlined in the image below. Maybe this was the method you were exactly looking for. Though it’s a bit complicated (when compared to Approach 2), it will save your time while designing your survey form.
In the survey tab of the xlsform:
In the choices tab of the xlsform:
Data entry screen as seen in Enketo:
Reference xlsform:
Repeating Group.xlsx (11.8 KB)
Please note: this should also work best in both Enketo as well as KoBoCollect android app.
Have a great day!
