Cascading text field for multiple choice question

Anonymous User — Fri, 20 Apr 2018 02:17:02 GMT

Hey guys,

I am creating a survey that takes temperature in 4 different aspects; air, surface, 'X depth' and 'Y depth'. We don't necessarily take the temperature of all the aspects of interest. So, I put this question type as 'multiple choice' in the XLSForm. I know that we have the cascading select feature. But in my case, how do I configure this question into a cascading text question? My workflow would be something like:

Temperature > Multiple choice selection: Air, Surface, X Depth, Y Depth > Choose one of the choice and have a cascading text question which I can fill in with the decimal numbers for temperature.

I know it's a little elementary but I couldn't find a question in the post that really matches to the feature I'd like to use. Any help would be totally awesome

P/S: I'm using Survey123 Connect for ArcGIS

Hi Azalea,

How about something like the following...

type	name	label	appearance	relevant
select_multiple temps	temp_collected	Select the temperatures that were collected	minimal
decimal	temp_value_air	Enter Temperature Value for Air		selected(${temp_collected},'air')
decimal	temp_value_surface	Enter Temperature Value for Surface		selected(${temp_collected},'surface')
decimal	temp_value_x_depth	Enter Temperature Value for X Depth		selected(${temp_collected},'x_depth')
decimal	temp_value_y_depth	Enter Temperature Value for Y Depth		selected(${temp_collected},'y_depth')

Choices sheet

list_name	name	label
temps	air	Air
temps	surface	Surface
temps	x_depth	X Depth
temps	y_depth	Y Depth

Heya Brandon!

Thanks! It worked! It didn't at first and I was wondering why. It was cause the screenshot is cut-off. So, I did it as you suggested:

Worked like a charm!:

So, the relevant should be of the cascading decimal or text is:

selected(${name of the multiple choice question}, 'name of the choice')

Thanks! It's nice talking to you again
