Cascading Select Does Not Work with Select Multiple Questions

WengNg

Hi Everyone,

I couldn't get the cascading select function to work on select_multiple questions in my form but it works with select_one questions. Is this a limitation of the cascading select function?

Please find an example form attached for your reference. If you switch the select_multiple to a select_one question, the cascading select works .

I'm using version 1.8.27.

Thanks,

Weng

Hi Weng,

In the sample you provided, both of the questions appeared as select_ones. Which workflow are you trying to support:

- have a select_multiple question populate the answers for a select_one question

- have a select_one question populate the answers for a select_multiple question

- have a select_multiple question populate the answers for a select_multiple question

Regardless, we currently do not have support for cascading selects interacting with select_multiples.

Hi Joshua,

At this time, we have not placed support for cascading selects with select multiple questions into a specific release roadmap. Current development activity is focused towards a release in June; the earliest we would consider would be after that release.

any ETA on when this could be added?

Hi Joshua,

Currently, we do not have an update on this enhancement.

Hi Weng,

Right now, there isn't an elegant workaround- the best that you could do is to create a set of select_multiples that are relevant based on the select_one that is selected and then process the data in another field by adding the values together as a form of coalesce. An example is attached

Hi James,

Apologies for that, I have reattached the XLSForm with the correct question type. I was trying to use a select_one question to populate answers for a select multiple question.

Are there workarounds for this? My select_multiple question can get quite long and a cascading select will be very helpful instead of displaying a very long list.

Thanks,

Weng

Just to weigh in, I still haven't found an answer to if it works or not!

Yes I saw that one as well, but it was unanswered, I was hoping that one of the other threads might have had a similar question, but wasn't flagged as specifically as these two.

Time to flag ichivite-esristaff‌ in case this is in the works or an example is given elsewhere

Hi Dan,

Cascading select does work with most of the question types but it doesn't work on a particular type of question (a select multiple questions type) .

I also found another post from a user who asked the same question https://community.esri.com/message/632865-cascade-select-with-selectmultiple .

DanPatterson_Retired

have your seen the related threads https://community.esri.com/search.jspa?q=cascading%20select there is at least one example of a working file
