Relevant field syntax - any different from Kobo using XLSForm?

Question

Hello,

I'm exploring options for porting over from Kobo. In importing xlsx docs, one major problem so far arises

We generate 'acknowledge' question based on calculations. XLS form syntax (works on kobo) is: [in relevant column] ${calc_mild} = '1' and ${calc_moderate} = '0'

where the ${calc_moderate} names refer to calculations based on earlier answers.

Using Survey 123, the app just says 'trigger' rather than the acknowledge message - doesnt seem to read the syntax in the same way as kobo.

Grateful for any guidance or more detailed information about relevant fields.

Hi Wesley,

To our knowledge, the list of functions currently not supported are:

* jr:choice-name
* selected-at
* indexed-repeat
* boolean-from-string
* join
* decimal-date
* decimal-time
* checklist
* weighted-checklist
* position
* area

Additionally, the choice_filter property is limited in terms of the complexity of formula it can accept- it currently does not accept functions.

Many thanks.

Is there a list of incompatibilities question types and syntax anywhere? I am most interested in any lurking issues with calculations, relevant syntax, selected-at, etc.

Thanks in advance and for your previous response.

Hi Wesley,

Currently, Survey123 does not support the acknowledge question type.  As an alternative, other customers have used a combination of notes and/or select questions to replicate the intention of acknowledge within a form.
