Hi guys!
I’m having some issues trying to set a mandatory response with a custom logic based on a select_many question. It works if I select ONLY the specific answer that I set in the rule, but if I select that answer plus others answers, the rule doesn’t work.
Can you help me understand how I should set the rule?
In annex, some screenshot to explain better my problem.
Thanks in advance!
Chiara
Could you share the related part of your form, please?
For a select_multiple, you should use selected(…) not simple ${…} reference, see ODK XForms Specification.
All selected choice_names are stored in one string (the select_multiple variable) separated by one space and ordered as the choice_list.
Here is my xls form. But I would like to use only the form builder, because my staff is still beginner and they don’t know xlsform at all.
@chiaramar, you seem to skip the question if the other is not selected in a previous select_multiple question. It’s a bit different than what you generally do for a select_one question (like what you have been doing). You could do this as discussed in our previous post:
We also have a support article User-Specified “Other” Responses for Multiple-Choice Questions for this which should help you understand how it is done.
