Hello,
We are looking for a possibility to use a calculation for a dedicated type (other than calculate), like select_one (or date), but to hide it. This will have advantages for tabulation and data export (and for example SPSS import), as we can get a fixed type and the related labels (even in more than one language.)
Example age group, based on age, see XLSForm.
- calculate type or hidden type will not allow a select_… type
- disabled option (undocumented) will not even do the calculation. See table view (and export).

| Age | Groupe d’âge (calculé) | Groupe d’âge (hidden) | Groupe d’âge (calculate) | _id |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 05-09 ans | 5 | 5 | 255881367 |
| 17 | 15-17 ans | 15 | 15 | 255881370 |
The Online validator gives a warning, related to the specification.
But relevant is not what we need here!
@Xiphware Might there be any advanced options, like using a bind (column)?
