Questions like “Validation Status”

Is there a way create my own question that behaves like Kobo’s built-in “Validation Status”, meaning:

  • It shows up as a column in the Data → Table view.

  • I can change its value directly from the table, without entering “Edit Submission.”

Welcome to the community, @alirabea! You can use the following options to achieve this:

  • Use calculate question type to auto fill the status based on certain criteria that has been filled up when collecting data. So for this you could use the if-statement. However, using this approach, you are not able to make edits to the variable from within the DATA>Table View.
  • The other easier option is to create a variable and manually enter the validation criteria by the enumerator based on the judgement of the form which he/she fills up. Using this approach, you should be able to make edits to the variable from within the DATA>Table View.
