Hello,

I am trying to follow the indexed-repeat example you shared above in my current survey, but the second roster (should be equivalent to your education roster) is not working. When I load the survey, the roster always shows the number 5 where a name should appear.

Essentially, I am collecting a list of organization names, and then I would like to ask a number of questions about each organization. The first repeat group just collects the names. The second should ask questions about these organizations.

However, when I load the survey where I expect the organization name to appear, the number 5 always appears. The number 5 appears in every repeat instance in the second group when I enter information about more than one organization in the first group.

As I am a new user it looks like I can’t upload my survey example, but I’m more than happy to email it to someone in the Kobo support team if the issue is not clear based on my description.

Thanks,
Kelsey

Hi Kal_lam,

In this example of indexed-repeat, what if I want the next questions (education information) to be repeated for only those aged between 6 and 18 years. How would you go about it?
Thanks
