For example I have the following questions:

Q1. Which mobile operators do you like the most?

unitel
Vodafone
africell
Others

Then we have another question that says:

Q2. Of the operators you have, which is your favorite (only shows those options marked in the previous question.)

in Q1 we chose Vodacom, others (open field) wrote - MTN.

How do I get MTN to also appear in Q2?

Hello @Aroberto,
It should work with a ${…} reference like you did it.
We encountered this problem in the past with Enketo (Webform) only. It worked with ODK Collect.

Could you, please,

  • provide the related part of your form
  • preview the form with the Online validator
  • test if it works with Collect
  • move back add forward in your form
  • try save and re-edit
  • try with an intermediate calculate variable as reference in the choice (workaround) ?
