Refer to repeat entry

jshull

I'm attempting to utilize an entry in a repeat loop.  The entry is an alpha-numeric text that associates the name of the entry to a range of fields.  A series of questions are nested in a repeat loop and utilizes several select_one's and select_multiple, all of these parameters should correspond to one single repeat entry.  

I want to use this data and select the entry name as a reference for calling corresponding data, ideally in a drop box, like select_multiple.

In short:  Assign a select_multiple with answers from a repeat loop in current survey.

 

Can anyone shed some light on how this can be accomplished?

We had someone here try this.  It ended up being super slow but it was a huge list with lots of parts.  

He was using regex which I am still not sure why it works but it did.

Have a field outside the repeat the first repeat that tracks the choices using join(",",${AddPlants})

Then in the list you use regex in the choice filter  regex(${SpeciesListJoin}, name)

So basically making a big choice filter list.

Hope that makes some sense.
