Survey 123 From Using Code Names and Ignoring Alias Names

RaufHussein1 — Fri, 08 May 2020 19:25:48 GMT

Hello All,

I need help on fixing an issue on the survey 123 form! The form is working fine, but when I fill out and submit the form, my data and attribute tables of maps are showing code names and ignoring their alias names. Similarly, my dashboard is connected to this form and some of the information on the lists of the dashboard are also showing the field names and ignoring the alias names. See attached below.

Thanks

Rauf

Hi Rauf,

To use the label instead of the name field, for select_one and select_multiple field types, you could use the jr:choice-name function in the XLSForm. Please see the onine doc on how to use jr:choice-name function:
