I’ve been trying the example files attached to the Dynamic Data Attachment article, but they really don’t entirely work for me (ONLY sum, max and min work). I just downloaded the forms and uploaded them onto kobotoolbox (both kf and eu versions) and followed every steps and tips mentioned in the article and other people recommended in other threads, but it doesn’t seem to work. Since it’s been a little while after the release of this feature, I wonder if there’s been any structural changes?
Sorry about this but the dynamic data attachment does not currently support repeats from the parent. As you have tested only the aggregation function is supported. The best workaround per now is to specially attach the responses in the repeat to another calculate question out of the repeat in the parent form. Then the new calculate question responses can then be accessed by the child form. Functions like selected-at() or string functions might then be used to access instances of the repeat at child form level.
Thank you for the reply @DatamaniacSteve. But neither of those example files has repeat. It looks like the issue is somewhere else. If you’ve a small working example, I can give it a try to see if they issue could be on my side. Thank you!
@amin, could you also let the community know on what question types are not working for you? I just made a quick test at my end and could find that the DDA feature is working smoothly for me without any issue.
@Kal_Lam, thanks! I just gave another try and it worked. But, I realized that I was not selecting all necessary variables when I was sharing the Round 1 survey (wanted to keep small). My assumption is that in that case it’d cause an error (because it couldn’t find a value for a field) then the other ones didn’t work too. So, I tried to select all variables and it worked just fine.
