Hide choices/responses in KoboToolBox application

[hrh_mhssp]

Hi All,
I would like to understand whether its possible to hide the responses/choices in Kobotoolbox application.
Eg. Q6. In web form, the choices/responses are hiding.

However, when opening in kobotoolbox application (tablet) all the choices/responses are showing (600+).

Is there a command to hide the same like in web form.

Welcome to the community, @hrh_mhssp! Maybe this post discussed previously should help you solve your issue:

How to create a drop down list in KoBoToolbox as seen in excel?

Hi @nirajshrestha1, Welcome to the community! To create a drop down list in KoBoToolbox, please use the minimal under the appearance column as shown in the image below: Drop down in Form Builder User Interface: [Image%201] Drop down in xlsform: [Image%202] A screenshot of how it appears in the Enkekto: [Image%203] Note: The minimal can be used for both select_one or the select_multiple question type.

Thank you @Kal_Lam for timely response, its helpful. One more concern here is now I cannot type and search the response list (like in autocomplete). As mentioned earlier I have a list around 600+. Scrolling through the list is a bit difficult.
Is there a way to have a drop down list and search option or any other suggestion.
Thanks again.

@hrh_mhssp, in this case you could do it as outlined in the image shared below:

In the survey tab of your XLSForm:

In the choices tab of your XLSForm:
