Show recently selected values in choice list on Survey123?

ATricomi

Is it possible to use a recent value from a drop down list of choices in Survey123 to minimize repetitive data entry? Similar to how it is done on forms in Field Maps: Fill out forms—ArcGIS Field Maps | Documentation

This is an example of how I would like my list to look in Survey123. With the most recently selected choice at the top of the list:

Let's say my choice list for a select_one question includes the tree genera shown above in the list. 

The select_one is in a repeat group.

The choice 'Quercus' is picked most commonly. Instead of having to type it in, or scroll down to find 'Quercus' every time, I want it to move to the top of the list to be more easily accessible. Or be included in a 'Recently Selected' section of the list shown at the top. Just like in Field Maps.

Is it possible to do this, perhaps with dynamic choice lists?

No and I have been asking for years.  My idea is that now that the lists are in the SQL lite DB add a counter each time its picked.  Then sort the list by that.  Would be so cool!  A true "smart form" that learns over time.  

In our old app we had this "same as last" button and it made data collection so much faster.  Probably the biggest user complaint for us.  Our species list is 8,000+ items and every single time the user has to tap the box, start typing, then pick.  Like just give me another one.  On a line we tend to see the same species over and over so it would get the collection time way down.  I have tried dozens of way to solve it but none worked.

In fact I would say 123s biggest downfall is how slow it is to collect data.  Too many taps and no way for it to learn, no way to copy repeats, no table looking repeats, etc.  It is rather clunky really.  I posted a whole list of ideas to make it faster in the past.  Hoping the new app in .Net will have more options.
