ISSUE with Autocomplete interfering with Defaulting Date/Time fields

DavidRebot — Thu, 20 Jul 2017 17:57:44 GMT

Hi All,

I'm having an issue where the autocomplete appearance on a select_one field, is causing my Date, Time, & dateTime fields to no longer default to today() & now(), they will come up blank. (All of these fields are within a repeat).

Ex:

type	name	label	appearance	default
begin repeat	Sampling_Log	Sampling Log
date	SampleDate	Date		today()
time	SampleTime	Time		now()
dateTime	SampleDateTime	DateTime		now()
select_one TypeList	SampleType	Sample Type	autocomplete
end repeat

Changing the appearance of "select_one TypeList" from 'autocomplete' to something else causes the defaulted date/time fields to function properly.

Do anyone know of a work around for this? I'd like to keep the 'autocomplete' appearance.

Thanks,

Dave R.

Hi David,

I can confirm the issue you are reporting with default values. I've logged an issue for the Survey123 development team to look into this. As a workaround, you could place the functions in the calculate column and they will populate.
