[KoBo Users] [KoboForm] bug when using "is not in list" in Skip Logic conditions (related to MultipleSelect question)

User Support

Celine,
thanks for catching that. it’s a good error, I confirm it’s not working right.
When creating skip logic on a question,

KoBoForm creates the XML

relevant=“selected(/New_Form_1/A01_MULTI_,‘1’)”/>

Which is wrong and backwards. I am going to add this as an issue to be fixed in the next version of KoBoForm, as soon as possible.

In the meantime, if you would like to fix this in your form, you can edit the XML in a text editor like Notepad.

Change:
relevant=“selected(/New_Form_1/A01_MULTI_,‘1’)”/>

to:

relevant=“not(selected(/New_Form_1/A01_MULTI_,‘1’))”/>

Hope that helps, let us know if you have any further trouble, thanks again for the good catch.

Hello,

When using “is not in list” as the evaluation condition, the xml export does not include the “not”. It’s as if I had chosen “is in list”.

I attached a small screenshot.

And here is what’s generated:
relevant=“selected(/test_not_in_list/A01_MULTI_,‘1’)”

you’re welcome :slight_smile:

In case you didn’t see it: there is the exact same error with “is not null”.

Aaaah, this has been happening with my current form. I add skip logic after a text question to check if if the field was empty (null) or contains text (not null).
As I upload the form to the phone, nothing skips and I’m like, “but I did select ‘is not null’ in those questions.” :slight_smile:
I went into the XML and change the = to !=. I’m a coder when I have to be.
