Pulldata does not work on same page with KoboCollect

[dmenne]

Trying to provide an immediate feedback on the same page for an id or barcode entered.
This works ok in the browser:

When I leave the top field, the first “Name of book” is updated.

but the field is never updated in KoboCollect, even if I navigate to the next page (filled with pulldata ok), and go back.

Barcode1.xls (35.5 KB) Codes.csv (255 Bytes)

Is there a way to force pulldata to update on the same page in KoboCollect?

I just tried with ODK-Collect: Everything is fine there. So this is a bug in KoboCollect.

Hi @dmenne,

Could you please let us know the KoBoCollect version that you tested this at your end.

Have a great day!

Hi @dmenne,

Kindly please be informed that KoBoToolbox will soon be releasing KoBoCollect v1.27.1 and upgrade of what is currently available KoBoCollect v1.25.1. And it should work there. I just checked the forms that you shared with KoBoCollect v1.27.1 that is available at my end.

Have a great day!

For another feature that works with 1.27.1, see.

REST request to retrieve a value from an external source

After reading REST request to retrieve a value from an external source, I tried the same with ODK Collect 1…27.1 today: First, it does not create a file xx.csv.imported, but keeps the filename xx. Nice. In addition, it keeps a hash of the file in the database table externalMetadata, and updating the CSV file works; the app updates the database when the CSV file changes. Well done. I hope this feature will carry over to the announce 1.27.1 of Kobo. The location of the CSV file has change when …

Hopefully this one will be ported to Kobo too.
