Filter repeat with external dropdown

Question

I have a repeat for actions/tasks with a status question (open, closed, ongoing).

I want to be able to filter the repeats by having a question outside the repeat that filters based on status i.e. Filter Status with options of All, Open, Closed, Ongoing.

Is this possible?

Cheers

Hello @JamesBailey,

To define the number of repeats you would use a repeat count. One thing to note on repeat counts is all repeats defined by the repeat_count value must be navigated through before the survey response is submitted; otherwise, not all repeat records will be submitted. To ensure that all repeats are submitted, consider making questions required in your repeats.

I have attached a zip file that contains a sample that uses pulldata to define the repeat count based on the filter status.

Thank you,

Zach

Please see below photo, hopefully it explains my situation a bit better.

If I am missing an obvious solution with a different method I am all ears.

Hello @JamesBailey,

May I ask for more details when you said filter the repeat? Are you looking to filter a selection question within the repeat based on a status? Or are you looking to have different questions display within the repeat based on what the status is?

Thank you,

Zach
