Insert cascading select not working

Hi, I created a project using KoboToolbox, and I am having a problem using the cascading select for the address. The first time I used the cascading select, it worked correctly. However, when I added it to the library and tried to copy the same set of cascading select questions for the address, it did not work. I did not notice that the second cascading select was not functioning, and we already have 300 responses.

Welcome to the community, @sedpmpmiserior! These support articles should help you solve your issue:

This should be working, but perhaps ensure you have grouped all the interdependent cascading selection questions into a Formbuilder group, and copied the entire group into the library. And then copied this group in your library back into your new form.

If you instead copied the individual select questions to and from your library, they may have become ‘disconnected’ from each other logically, such that the interdependent filtering becomes broken.

Whereas copying the entire group into a new form keeps things connected:

Hi sir, thats what i did, i copied the entire group of question for the address. But in my project, i need to ask this question twice. The problem is, the one is working but the other one is not. Can i share to you the project?

Thanks for this additional key bit of info. Yes, I can confirm that there appears to be an issue when copying a cascade select group from the library into your form more than once - the second one does not appear to be getting ‘rewired’ correctly, and consequently selecting things in the first group causes updates in the second (!)

This looks like a bug. I’m investigating further and will report back if I can come up with a workaround in the mean time.

Thanks again for the report.

You’re welcome :blush:
