A calculation expression is working in survey 123 connect but not in the web form

Question

Hi there. My jr:choice-name expression in the calculation column is working well in the survey 123 connect, but when it turns to the web form, it isn't working. However, a similar jr:choice-name expression for another similar question is working both in survey 123 connect and the web form.

Seems that I don't have permission to upload images. Is there any other way for me to better describe my issues with you?

The browser (web form) is much more strict on syntax than Connect, so it is likely a syntax issue. Carefully check your calculation looking at commas, quotes, capitalization, spelling, etc.

It might help you to copy/paste the working and nonworking calculations into a notepad so you can better compare the two to see if there are any differences (other than the field names).

To help troubleshoot the jr:choice-name() issue between Survey123 Connect and the web form, it would be helpful if you could share:

* The exact calculation expression you're using.

* The name of the select question you’re referencing in jr:choice-name().

* The choices sheet entries (label and name) for that select question.

* Whether the question is in a repeat or not — this can impact behavior in web forms.

* Any relevant bind::type or bind::esri:fieldType entries from your XLSForm.

You can copy-paste the relevant rows from your XLSForm (survey and choices sheets) here — that will be the next best thing to uploading screenshots.
