Stop survey if geopoint in specific location

Question

I work for a county and am creating a survey that will serve as a permit application. One township within the county has their own permitting system so I want to be able to stop the permit application if the applicant selects a location within this township. Essentially what I want is a condition that is triggered when the geopoint is in a specific location. Is this, or a workaround to this, possible?

Hi Melissa. I did some testing in S123 Connect and this is what I came up with.

If the point's x value is greater than 0, the group of questions will be "relevant" and show for the user. If it is less than 0, it is not relevant and will be hidden. You should be able to adjust and add on to this format to mimic a bounding box of the area of interest.

Thanks for the guidance. I took what you suggested and worked it to fit with what I needed. What I ended up doing was using the constraint and constraint_message fields. Using pulldata("@geopoint", ${location}, "x") and pulldata("@geopoint", ${location}, "y"), I was able created a bounding box of the area so that when someone places a geopoint within the area it will give an error message. It took a little while troubleshooting with the coordinates and the <> and connectors (and/or) to get it right but it seems to be  working now
