Generate a list of choice from parent form (with Dynamic Data Link)

Hi there,

I am discovering the new feature of Dynamic Links between forms (Dynamic data attachments — KoboToolbox documentation) that represents a huge step forward in terms of functionality for KoboToolBox (in my view :wink: ).

I gave a try and it works (watch out that there are some syntax mistakes in the examples of the tuto…), but I am wondering if there is any way to generate a select_one list of choice out of records from the parent form. This would allow the user to select a specific record out of a list and load the corresponding data.

In the example below, I would like to get the list of activity responsibles (which is a free text field and in this case, there are 2 different names) to be able to select one of them (the dynamic link retrieve the first record only).

Thanks in advance for your support and suggestions,

Pierre

@vmalep, so you mean that you have a text question in your parent project, and you would like to use the response from that text question as a select_one choice in your child project. Did I understand that correctly? If so, please be informed that this feature is currently not supported. We will let you know once it becomes available.

Dear @Kal_Lam , thanks for your reply. You understood me perfectly :wink:

Ok, waiting then ..

Honestly, that is why most organization are moving out from Kobo now and are looking at Commcare, ActivityInfo or DHIS2, because this feature allow for case management:
-registering a new participant (with all the identifier as text)
-Following up this participant among different forms of treatment/ participation in projects.

If anything new keep us updated
