Hey all,
Posting this as I'm wondering if I'm either formatting my survey wrong, or if this is a known bug/limitation for WebForms.
Issue
I have surveys that were designed to work both on the S123 app and on WebForms. A do realize that dynamic-grid styles and corresponding widths don't transfer over to WebForms, however it seems that having a width set for a repeat breaks the minimal appearance.
As seen below (screenshot and XLSForm excerpts), I have two repeats. The top repeat, "Sponsor Details" behaves as expected when minimal appearance is used (i.e., a blank record is not added by default).
The bottom repeat however also has a minimal appearance, but is set to "w4 minimal" for dynamic-grid formatting. As seen in the WebForm, the minimal appearance isn't respected and a blank record is created.
Note that the minimal appearance works in the Survey123 app in both scenarios. It's the WebForm version that does not respect minimal appearance when prepended with width tags.
Repeat section for Sponsor Details - minimal appearance works in both the Survey123 app and the WebForm
| type | name | label | appearance |
| begin repeat | RTA_AGO_v2_sponsors | Sponsor Details | minimal |
| text | rta_sponsor | Sponsor Name | predictivetext |
| select_multiple sponsor_type | rta_sponsor_type | Sponsor Type | horizontal |
| text | rta_sponsor_type_other | Sponsor Type (Other) | predictivetext |
| text | rta_sponsor_notes | Notes | multiline predictivetext |
| image | rta_sponsor_photos | Photos | multiline |
| select_one status | rta_sponsor_status | Sponsor Data Status | hidden |
| end repeat | | | |
Repeat section for Observer Details - minimal appearance works in Survey123 app but NOT in the WebForm
| type | name | label | appearance |
| begin repeat | RTA_AGO_v2_observers | Observer Details | w4 minimal |
| text | rta_obs_name | Observer Name | w4 predictivetext |
| text | rta_obs_company | Observer Company | w4 predictivetext |
| select_multiple attendance | rta_obs_days_attended | Days Attended? | w4 horizontal |
| text | rta_obs_notes | Notes | w4 multiline predictivetext |
| image | rta_obs_photos | Photos | multiline |
| select_one status | rta_obs_status | Observer Data Status | hidden |
| end repeat | | | |
Question
Is it expected that "minimal" functionality for repeats doesn't work in WebForms when prepended with dynamic-grid width tags?
Note that I did see this thread with a similar issue. Draft mode is not enabled for this survey.
Thankfully in my case, I can go without the width tags for those repeats as it doesn't ruin the formatting, but it'd be great to know if this is a current limitation with web forms.
Thanks in advance!
