Make repeat required based on answer to another question.

NDFAdmin — Fri, 01 Jan 2021 02:12:16 GMT

Hi,

I have a need to require users to fill out a set of questions within a repeat based on the answer to a question outside of the repeat. Is this possible? I've tried using the relevant field and creating a constraint without any luck.

Thanks!
Aaron

Hi Aaron,

Yes it's possible to apply expressions in the Relevant column for repeats.

We should be able to apply the expression to the repeat as a whole (hiding the repeat) or questions within the repeat. Here is more information on how to apply relevant expressions:

Constraints are a separate item, preventing users from submitting values unless the constraint is met.

If you're still encountering difficulty, can you please attach your XLSForm?
Cheers, Chris

You need to use required. A constraint to check for a blank value does not work. So add the relevant then make the fields required. If it is hidden it will not fire the required.

Hope that helps
