Getting two previously entered values to display together

SophiaSmith

Hello, I am working on a survey to take inventory of invasive plant species. I want the survey to display the species and percentage cover that was previously entered so the field techs can easily see what they've already recorded. Right now I have the species and coverage options as select_ones, and the display of what has already been used as a multiline text field with join(", ", ${Species_ID}) as the calculation. 

Is there a way I can have it also display the percentage cover chosen for each species? And is there another way I get have is display better than a multiline text field, in case there's a lot of species in one transect?

Thanks,

Sophia

Kinda of like this?

Two ways

Simpler option that may work is inside the repeat concat your two fields like concat(speciesfield, "   ", cover field)

Then in your join use this new field instead join("\n", ${concat field above})  using new line to have each pair on its own line.

Fancy way in case you have more than just the 2.  Create a grid to make a table then just have each field in it own cell again using  join("\n", ${Species})  If you do each field in its own grid cell, since they are in the same order it will magically all line up for you.

Hope that helps
