Enketo does not accept text formatting scripts as KoBoCollect android app

Hi,
I am attaching a sample form where I am using the text of a previous question in the choices list. Select Other in both the questions and enter the text which should be displayed in the list of third questiion. It works fine in KoboCollect App but not in Enketo Express, what is the reason. One more thing was even the html tags are not working in Enketo Express, is it the case that Enketo does not support html tags.
Select Auto Checkbox-2.xls (54.5 KB)

Hello,
we lost some time before we understood that these are 2 different software systems, also related to different developers. (KoBoCollect: an Android app and Enketo: a Web app.)
There are a lot of differences in detail! A consequence is for example, that you must be very careful using Enketo (Preview) for testing KoBoCollect forms.

Some differences are noted here: https://support.kobotoolbox.org/en/articles/592377-overview-on-data-collection-tools

Concerning your formatting issues, maybe the following can help:

Kind regards

Hello,
concerning the dynamic choice labels, see Displaying "Others Specify Label" in the next question
There is a general update problem in Enketo related to choice_filter.
You can see this, if you remove your choice_filter.
Maybe this is an Enketo bug?
Kind regards
