I want when I choose only from the list of Organization type: the Donor the following questions (Organization’s Name in Arabic:, Does the organization has offices in below hubs/ sub-hubs?, and Name of the responsible for the Information Management (IM) become not mandatory… Please help me with this
survey sheet:
type name
select_one source org_source
choices sheet:
list_name name label::English (en)
source a Donor
source b Government Agency / Entity
source c International NGO
source d National NGO
source e UN Agency
Welcome @sanad,
Do you use Collect or Enketo, please?
You can try as required clause: ${org_source} != ‘a’ and ${org_source} != ‘’, for the question(s) you want to set dynamically to mandatory.
A problem (bug?) is, at least in Enketo: After you have got a mandatory error message (e.g. on validation), this message is not automatically removed if you go back and change the referenced select question (e.g. to ‘a’). But it is removed on validation.
Here a simple example: RequiredDyn02.xlsx (11.3 KB). Only if ‘AA’ is selected, Text 01 becomes NOT mandatory. Tested with the Online validator, see ODK - XLSForm Online.
.
Thank you for your reply.
I use Enketo Kobotoolbox
I tried ${org_source} = ‘a’ in the relevant column beside the question Organization’s Name in Arabic: this is good when I select Donor the the question Organization’s Name in Arabic is not mandatory, and this what I want, but for the rest of list the question Organization’s Name in Arabic not appear and what I want the question should I appear for the rest as a mandatory question
I did : ${org_source} =‘c’ or ${org_source} = ‘d’ or ${org_source} =‘e’ or ${org_source} = ‘b’
It’s worked perfectly. Thank you so much, I appreciate your support
