repeat_count resulting in strikeout text showing in select_one dropdowns

LanceCole — Mon, 21 May 2018 15:11:17 GMT

I have a simple survey form with a repeat section. When I set the repeat_count to a previous integer value input on the form ${counter} the select_one dropdowns display strike-out text once a value is selected. If I use a fixed value for the repeat_count or leave it blank and use the Add/Delete functionality of the repeat the dropdows are fine.

I also tried setting using string(${counter}) and int(${counter}) for the repeat_count with the same result. The appearance of the select_one filed are set to minimal.

Any input?

repeat_count set to ${counter} an integer field value, strikeout text displayed in dropdowns:

repeat_count set to fixed value of 2, normal text displayed in dropdown:

I attached a sample file that demonstrates the issue. I did find a few workarounds; 1) place a non-zero value in for the default on the ${counter}, 2) turn off required on the select_one and 3) use a fixed value or do not set the value for the repeat_count.

Hi Lance,

Thank you for reporting this behavior with the strike through appearance occurring when a repeat count is set to the value of a previous answer which involves a select_one question.

We are aware of this issue and have it listed in our backlog to fix for an upcoming release of Survey123. I will add your comments to the existing issue so that we can notify you when a fix has been implemented. Thank you also for listing the workarounds that you have found.

Best Regards,

Brandon
